1.5.1  Fixed an error in which the Updater Checker incorrectly parsed it's RSS input, causing the plugin to falsely alert server administrators of an update. Updated out-of-date build dependencies. Built using the latest Bukkit API. File name changed to IP-Check-Core in preparation for an upcoming update. This name will no longer change.

1.5.0  Updated Error Logger to place error_reports in the plugin's data folder, regardless of where the plugins folder is at on the server. Removed the code for the Convert Command. All references to this command have been removed. Omitted "More information about..." line in Player Report, as this was deemed unnecessary. Fixed minor formatting bugs with the Report; result Lists are now properly punctuated. Added Update Checker so that Operators, as well as players with the proper permission, will now be informed of any new updates for the plugin. This checking can be disabled via the configuration. Added Permission node "ipcheck.update" so that players who are not Operators may be informed of plugin updates. Added Metrics monitoring. Added highly requested Scan Command. This command allows you to scan all online players at once and see which ones have multiple accounts. Added Permission node "ipcheck.scan" for use with Scan Command. Added more random messages.

1.4.0_2  Report now shows all logged IPs for a player, however reports still filter account results Added Last Known IP Field to Report Fixed bugs with unexempt command

1.4.0  Changes:  Added Support for MySQL and SQLite - You can switch which database you'd like to use from the configuration. Dropped support for database system introduced in 1.3.0 - Due to differences between the two systems, there is no feasible way to port information from one database to another, and doing so causes duplicate entries and other anomalies. Dropped Convert Command - It is no longer needed. Added Localization Support - IP-Check can now be ported to any language. The plugin comes equipped with English and German (English is default). Switched from .txt to .yml configuration Refined Report Function - Dropped "Last Known" tag. The report now filters out all duplicate entries across multiple IPs and only counts unique names when displaying a tally for alternate accounts. This filtering is also applied to Login Checks. Ban / Unban Reports have been made more Compact - Previously, performing a ban of an IP would spam chat with the multiple ban messages. This has been changed so that one message is sent regardless of how many players are banned. Updated Secure Mode - Secure mode now discriminates when it blocks multi-accounters. Depending on the threshold specified, a player may have, up to that threshold, a set number of accounts, and all accounts made after meeting that threshold will be banned. The accounts made before, however, will still be playable. Added the ability to disable Ban/Unban/Kick Commands from Configuration.

1.4.0_1  Bug Fix: Fixed syntax error with MySQL backend which prevented logging of entries.

1.3.0_1  Changes:  - A New Database System: The new system is hard disk based, as the original system was, but, it is highly fragmented, allowing it to only pull the files it absolutely needs while running. This cuts down on RAM usage while still performing well. This is also the only logging database system supported by IP-Check now, making both current backends for IP-Check obsolete. New Features of this database design include: - Cross-IP Logging - Last Known IP Tracking - Performance Increase - Ease of Readability - Simplification of Code  In order to keep transfer your current database over to the new format, the "/C Convert" command has been modified to do this. Using this command will automatically convert your flat-file database to the new format. (NOTE: On average, conversion time takes approx. 1 second per 500 logs.) If you were using the Essentials Backend, please read further down.  - Totally dropped support for Essentials: The Essentials backend manager was experiencing severe problems, as well as difficulties in reading and managing the multitudes of files used by it in memory. As a result, support for Essentials was completely dropped, except for converting from Essentials to the new Database format, allowing you to keep your records of players. To convert your Essentials database, you simply need to perform the command "/C Convert -e".  - Removed the several unused options from the Config.txt file  - Added "/c purge". This allows you to remove IP or Player entries from your database. - Bug Fixes: - Fixed IP-Check losing track of player logs and not properly associating players and IPs until the plugin was reloaded - Fixed IP-Check not alerting when a player exceeded the number of alternate accounts specified in the configuration - Fixed IP-Check falsely alerting about players who did not meet the threshold required to be alerted for  - Other Details: - Ban Command: The ban command itself has not had any changes made to it. When performed using a player name, it will ban the LAST KNOWN IP for the player, and all accounts associated with that IP. When banning an IP, the command will still ban all accounts associated with the IP specified. The same goes for Unban. In order to ban all IPs and the associated players, you must perform the command for each IP-Address. This is to prevent the plugin from possibly encountering a 'domino effect' and potentially banning a large number of innocent people.  - Kick: The kick command behaves similarly to the ban command, in that it only kicks using the last known IP.  - Player/IP Reports: Reports have been modified so that, when performing a check on a player, the report will show separate lists for each IP-Address the player is associated with. As such, the lower sector of the report (which shows 'player banned', 'player exempt', etc.), has been truncated. Player specific fields are now only shown for Player Reports, and vice versa for IP Reports.  When checking a player, you will notice that there is always one IP which contains "-L" next to it. The "-L" tag indicates that the IP was the Last Known IP for the player.  - Player Name Auto Complete: Due to the nature of the new database system, the ability for IP-Check to "guess" a playername that you may be searching for has been removed. This is both a good thing and a bad thing, as it was causing some player searches to fail, but it also provided the possibility for the plugin to guess what name you were trying to search.
