Account Shield v3.1.0

What's Changed

On Account Shield, we have fixed the following:

• Race condition when initializing (ValioBunge/RedisBungee) hook. Can be caused if your proxy takes to long to load.
• Reduced the size of the plugin message channel. It was causing issues with old versions of Spigot servers.

This version requires at least Java 17 to run (We recommend a minimum of Java 21). Please avoid using obsolete Java versions!

Account Shield v3.0.0

What's Changed

As our own commitment to provide the best service, we also have expanded the functionality of our sister add-on (Account Shield).

We mainly have done:

• Add-on remade from the grounds up. This was necessary for maintainability, as the old code base was not upon our standards.
• Exposed ways to handle custom auth solutions. This was made via a newly created API module. That also allows us to prepare for new features

Allows us for a better implementation for standardized hooks

New features that will be implemented with this version

• Account Limits. Now you can limit the amount the accounts that a user has on the network. As it is helpful to combat AFK Accounts on a single IP. This is supported with multi proxy instances
• Active accounts on an IP. This now allows us to know the active accounts that are connected on your server, further enhancing our panel experience.

1. This supports at the moment only single instances, and ValioBungee (formerly known as RedisBungee). If you have a custom multi proxy solution, please contact us so we can explain the process of implementation.

2. This requires the new version of the connector. So please update accordingly

Full Changelog: v2.5.0...v3.0.0

v4Guard Account Shield v2.5.0

In this release, we have resolved several issues previously affecting Account Shield.

Our efforts were primarily focused on the following areas:

• Major Code Refactoring: Introduced support for the latest version of the v4Guard Connector, resulting in a more modular and maintainable codebase.
• Premium Checks Fixes: Resolved issues with premium checks for nLogin and JPremium on both supported platforms.
• Optimized Messaging Handling: Implemented a custom channel to significantly improve plugin messaging performance and behavior.
• Enhanced Account Monitoring : Added preliminary support (coming soon) to track the number of accounts online per IP through the panel and their names.

Additionally, we have introduced an abstraction layer via an API to facilitate the integration of custom multi-proxy solutions. This enhancement enables further expansion of the panel's functionality, enhancing the overall experience for our clients.

Please note: In this version, both the proxy and Spigot plugins must be installed if you are using AuthMe.
