v0.1.0

Release date: 28.01.2021

The sidebar update:

• Rework sidebar system:
  • The old, annotation-based sidebar system using @CreateSidebar is not available anymore. Plugins that have been using this system will have to upgrade.
  • Rework component system (stateful & stateless)
  • Add new component StatefulListComponent to display dynamic lists in sidebars
  • Developers can now choose between lazy updating (manipulating team prefixes, flicker free) or normal updating (resetting the scoreboard), which was not possible with the old system.
  • Move version dependent scoreboard code out of the core module to the version modules (scoreboard team handling, etc.)
  • Rework animation system by replacing it with a cluster-based system
  • Add new events for handling sidebars:
    • KelpSidebarRenderEvent
    • KelpSidebarUpdateEvent
    • KelpSidebarRemoveEvent
  • Create new event base: KelpPlayerEvent, which should replace the PlayerEvent for better integration of KelpPlayer into event handling. So if you create anything player-related with custom events, use this class instead.
  • Sidebar components and sidebar objects are now created using static factory methods. If you like the old approach more, you can still rely on the old factory classes such as SidebarComponentFactory
  • Sidebars can now be properly removed/hidden from a player
• Documentation improvements in KelpPlayer and all newly added classes.
• TextAnimations can now be created using static factory methods.
• Add ksidebar command in testing-module to demonstrate some sidebar components.
• Refactor testing-module by assigning dedicated packages to each feature to test
• Fix bug that TimeConverter did not convert milliseconds <-> ticks correctly
