LWC 4.2.0

• Significant performance increases, in some cases upwards of 90%. In most cases, ProtectionInteract was >100k nanoseconds. It is now 20k-ish. The Redstone event, which accounted for 50% of the cpu time, at 20k nanoseconds/event, is now around 2k-3k nanoseconds per event.
• Vault Economy & Permissions support
• Added fence gates to the default configuration
• Less quiet exceptions when the updater fails for any reason
• CreeperHeal support - do not remove protections if creeper heal is activated & enabled :)
• Rewrote double door logic to be more reliable. It also does not reopen doors that are already closed.
• Work around a difficult to reproduce exploit that appears to be caused by a Bukkit bug, exact cause unknown (not on LWC's end, but it prevents it now)
• A block's protection history can be cycled through if you use the command /lwc info history

LWC 4.1.1

• Minor bug fix for metrics

LWC 4.1.0

• R6 and Minecraft 1.2 support
• The following has been COMPLETELY REMOVED:
• /lwc schedule;
• /lwc menu;
• /lwc dev;
• /lwc admin config;
• List support;
• EasyNotify;
• Job support (requirement for schedules);
• Kick traps;
• Ban traps;
• Deprecated ProtectionTypes class (use the Protection.Type enum instead!)
• Full LWC backups can be created using /lwc admin backup create -- this creates a full backup for the database and also every block along with it including any contents.
• Backups can be restored using /lwc admin backup restore NAME where NAME is the backup's file name without the extension (.lwc or .lwc.gz). The backups are stored in plugins/LWC/backups/
• At this time, the double chest side of double chests are not stored.
• Any /lwc admin protectregion NAME to protect all protectable LWC blocks in a WorldGuard region to 'LWCWorldGuard', the owner can be changed via /lwc admin updateprotections set owner = 'NewOwner' where owner ='LWCWorldGuard' (sorry for being so long spunk!)
• Fix: /cunlock could be used even after the correct password was used.

LWC 4.0.9

• /lwc admin rebuild: a command to rebuild a wiped database, barring some missing data such as ACLs which is less important and unrecoverable without backups. See http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/60178/

LWC 4.0.8

• Fix an exploit that allows some very dangerous commands to be executed on the server

LWC 4.0.7

• Maintenance release to fix an index. Most servers will not notice any difference.

LWC 4.0.6

• bPermissions group support
• Allow the group prefix for matching groups via Permissions be changed in core.yml (and also change the default to group. instead of lwc.group.)
• Don't allow freshly placed pressure plates to open a door that has the redstone flag
• /lwc admin purge would interfere with LWC-Econ discount type IN_USE and not allow people to get discounted.

LWC 4.0.5

• Fix gravity-matched blocks such as wooden sign, rails, lever, etc
• Prevent players from using /lwc fix on protections they cannot administrate

LWC 4.0.4

• Incompatible classes when a method's return type was changed, so 4.0.4 is a complete rebuild of 4.0.3, fixing some bugs
• No source file changes except for plugin.yml

LWC 4.0.3

• New: When removing one side of a protected double chest, it won't REMOVE the protection now.
• New: Support custom protections via the data value ( 'id:data' , e.g '181:8' )
• This means Industrial Craft, etc blocks that use the data value for the block are now supported individually.
• Found another area where queries were being wasted when clicking on certain blocks
• Fixes an exploit detailed by spunkiie which allows you to arbitrarily take over certain protections
• Fix plugins/LWC/locale/lwc.properties - it was not being loaded properly
• Fix removal of double step protections when a step is placed and protected
• Fix automatic upgrade from sqlite->mysql
• Only perform rights migration from LWC3 -> LWC4 once even if the old rights table fails to drop
• Located and restored /lwc admin purgeregion - it went AWOL but has came back.
• Fail with a more descriptive failure when LWC cannot connect to the database at startup
• Fix an NPE in limitsv2 that is normally only found when using /climits
• soft defend iConomy to fix a bug when using the serverBankAccount feature of LWC-Economy
• Also soft depend Permissions & PermissionsBukkit again
• NOTE: If you use LWC-Economy and/or LWC-Spout, you may need to upgrade them as well.
• Group limits in limitsv2.yml are no longer case sensitive
• Fix the SQLite libraries being placed in the wrong location - should be plugins/LWC/lib not plugins/LWC/lib/lib :)
• Fix worldguard.allowProtectionsOutsideRegions: it was working in reverse (true meant it was blocked, false meant it was allowed)

LWC 4.0.2

• Optimized out 1 to 2 unneeded queries that were used when touching a protected or unprotected door (for either they were two different things)
• Fix a bug where converted rights from LWC 3 were 'not able to access protections'
• Fix an exploit where a chest protection could be overridden by another protection in two very specific cases
• Minor additions to /lwc credits -- upgrade MonsterTKE and add imaxorz

LWC 4.0.1

• Fix the german locale's file encoding (latin-1 -> utf-8)
• Fix a Spout bug (both in its RB and dev builds) that allow a sticky piston to destroy chests by pulling a wooden door over it
• Fix a bug in converting rights from LWC3 -> 4 format when the table is a bit tainted

LWC 4.0.0

• LWC 4 is now licensed under the 2-clause BSD license

• New translation! Hungarian, courtesy of dretax
• Most languages have been fully updated to the latest changes.

• The following commands have been added: (see the wiki for more in depth info)
• /lwc history
• /lwc details
• /lwc schedule
• /lwc setup
• /lwc fix
• New sub commands for /lwc admin
• Towny integration. You can now allow members of a specific Town access your Private protection, simply: /cmodify t:TownName or when creating it: /cprivate t:TownName
• The WorldGuard feature has been rewritten to be easier to use and now includes a blacklist feature, so you can blacklist specific regions from having protections.
• Add a new flag: AUTOCLOSE which makes a door automatically close after the configured amount of time in plugins/LWC/doors.yml. Usage: /cautoclose on|off
• Allow Fence Gates to be automatically closed by the autoclose flag & doors.yml
• Pressure plates will now be protected if they are placed in front of a door. Only players who have access to the protection can use the pressure plate.
• If you use /credstone on on the door, no redstone except the attached pressure plate will work on the door, meaning now only those who have access to the protection can open it.
• A protection's type can now be changed via /cmodify type e.g: /cmodify private will make a chest private. You can change a password (or change it TO password) via: /cmodify password ThePassword
• Limits V2. New limits system that is a lot easier to manage and use -- see plugins/LWC/limitsv2.yml Example commands:
• /climits now fully functions as it should! Give the new updated version a shot!
• /lwc setup limits Hidendra 0 -- give hidendra 0 default protections
• /lwc setup limits Hidendra default unlimited chest 5 -- give hidendra 5 chests and unlimited everything else
• /lwc setup limits g:default 5 -- give the default group 5 protections
• /lwc setup limits default 0 -- set the default amount of protections to 0
• /lwc setup limits hidendra 54 10 96 1 -- example of using block ids instead of names (10 chests, 1 trap door)
• add quiet under protections that can be set to a block that hides creation messages and notices

• /lwc admin report has been beautified
• /cinfo has been given a new look and is now more helpful. It will give you a shortlist of players who can access a private protection if you have appropriate access to it.

• Changes to the database format that make it not possible to downgrade from LWC4 to LWC3. However, LWC will still upgrade from 3 to 4 ok.
• All existing LWC 3 indexes have been wiped and LWC is now better indexed
• Startup time has been dramatically reduced (to nil) for those with a huge protection set
• More optimal caching techniques to ensure duplicate cache entries aren't present or created

• The "bug 656 workaround" has been replaced with an automatic feature that does not need to be enabled, but is used when required
• /lwc admin reload will now also reload the loaded locale file (including the one in plugins/LWC/locale/)
• New & better updater. You can now subscribe to updates to the STABLE branch or BLEEDING_EDGE, which is the latest Jenkins builds.
• Locale messages defined as null will now not send the message to the player
• FIX: Protected blocks could be pulled with a sticky piston
• FIX: Doors could be destroyed by using a piston to push a dirt block towards it.
• FIX: Limits will now use the highest group limit instead of the first one found.
• FIX: The magnet module would sometimes not work as expected when used across multiple worlds.
• Metrics API for measuring plugin usage across the world using non-identifiable data.
• Developed by myself, all implementation specific details and backends are open source.
• View the data online: http://metrics.griefcraft.com/plugin/LWC
• Backend source: https://github.com/Hidendra/metrics.griefcraft.com
• loadProtection(int id) now utilizes the protection cache
