1.9 Support Checklist

[dmulloy2]

ProtocolLib v4.0.0 has been released!

There are development builds available on my Jenkins server: http://ci.dmulloy2.net/job/ProtocolLib/

Here's the current progress:

Pre-release:

• Use packet classes instead of ids - they're apparently subject to change in the future, this can be done before it is released
• Figure out why updates 403
• Release 3.6.5
• Drop support for Java 6

Post-release:

• Get it to compile with 1.9
• Add support for new packets
• Update class names
• Make sure the server & plugin start
• Make sure players can join & that injection works
• Update server list handling for 1.9
• Fix entity tracking issues
• Update the particle enum
• Update data watchers and watchable objects
• Create wrappers for data watcher objects and serializers
• Confirm that data watcher wrappers actually work
• Make sure all necessary data watcher methods have been added back
• Fix cloning
• Misc bug fixes
• Release 3.7.0-BETA

Full support:

• Update packet types and IDs for 1.9
• Get the JavaDocs working again
• Add support for 1.9 enums
• Add support for 1.9 wrappers
• Restore disabled tests
• Update documentation
• Final bug fixes and testing
• Release 4.0.0
• Update TinyProtocol
• Update PacketWrapper

Thanks for all of your work on this plugin! It is a necessity for server owners and plugin developers alike. Good Luck with 1.9!

Thanks a lot! Appreciate your good work.

[mibby]

Very much appreciated, thanks for continued support. :) Looking forward to when watchable objects are done.

[TNTUP]

Great support to continue for 1.9! You're the king! ❤️

[vintagedon]

I come here a couple of times a day ... waiting for that check mark next to "Release 3.7.0-BETA" :)

[dmulloy2]

@vintagedon I plan to release tomorrow barring any setbacks.

[vintagedon]

@dmulloy2 Awesome ... thanks so much for all your hard work; and for free, too.

Hii, I'm using an util for SignGUIs. Since the 1.9 update and the new versions, I'm sadly getting an error. As I'm just using the util, I can't really get any information out of this error. It would be really great if you could just have a look at the error and then tell me if it's caused by protocollib or by the util?
error: http://pastebin.com/Bk7GvpMp
util: https://bukkit.org/threads/sign-gui-use-the-sign-interface-to-get-user-input.177030/
You're doing a great job on this plugin :D

[dmulloy2]

@Litona Looks to be an issue with the Util.

[Ste3et]

Hello @dmulloy2 i need your protocollib for my FurniturePlugin have you update the WrappedDataWatcher currently ?

[dmulloy2]

@Ste3et The data watcher wrapper has been updated, although there are a lot of changes in 1.9.

[edasaki]

Hello, thanks so much for the updates! Are there any plans to update TinyProtocol? I seem to be getting some errors using it in 1.9 (with code that was functional in 1.8)

[macdja38]

@edasaki see the end of the list.

[axynos]

ETA for 4.0.0?

[dmulloy2]

@axynos Hopefully soon, it's a large structural change.

[scrayos]

Just a quick reminder: While publishing 4.0.0 keep the generation of javadoc + sources in mind.

[Sikatsu]

It seems your jenkins is unavailable right now.

[Vinc0682]

Really hoping for updated packet wrappers soon, will be able to update serveral plugins. Keep youre good work 😄

[dmulloy2]

@Vinc0682 PacketWrapper has been updated: https://github.com/dmulloy2/PacketWrapper

[dmulloy2]

@Sikatsu Should be back up, thanks!

[TNTUP]

Can't wait for the final build to test (Stable one), the beta works well 👍

[Sikatsu]

Yup thanks :)

[edasaki]

Since TinyProtocol is coming up on the list of stuff to update, I was wondering if there is any chance at looking at a fix for reloading with TinyProtocol in use? I get this error when reloading with TinyProtocol: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Duplicate handler name: tiny-PluginName-2

I see the close() code being called, is there a step missing that's not fully removing the original handler?

Note that when I reload twice the error does not appear on the second refresh.

[dmulloy2]

@edasaki That's odd, it should remove the handler when it closes. The only thing I can think of is that it removes the handler in the channel thread, which is only an issue when reloading. Problems like these are why I don't recommend reloading.

[edasaki]

Ah I was being silly, it only happens when I replace the plugin jar with a newer version, so the classloader can't find the old version of the class lmao. There's no issue reloading normally, only when the jar is replaced before the reload (which I know is super bad practice but I only do it on dev server anyways so whatever :P) I guess it's not a problem.

[Permanently]

Almost done... 👍
