5.2.0.4

[Ghost-chu]

Cheers! Catching up with the tail end of September, we're releasing the first of LTS build of Cyno before October rolls around.

An LTS release is a quality-proven version that we release every so often (usually for a longer period of time).
Long-term stable support releases are selected by observing user reports, logging in automated bug reporters, and manual testing.

The LTS version is suitable for operation in large networks and production environments. It is recommended that you upgrade.

Upgrade from previous LTS (4.2.2.12)

0. Read the change log of 5.0.0.0 (Cyno), quick look at the major updates in version 5.x. You should also read the changelogs for all versions in between, if possible.
1. Backup everyting including the databases and worlds.
2. Upgrade QuickShop-Hikari and all Addons, Compacts, make sure they are the same version.
3. Upgrade your NBTAPI to a appropriate version if you're on a Spigot server.
4. Startup the server and check if everything is running correctly.

Versions marked as End Of Life will no longer provide active technical support and we strongly recommend that you upgrade as soon as possible.

The migration script for Hikari-3.x has been removed, so if you are upgrading from Hikari-3.x, please download the last stable version of Hikari-3.x that supports Hikari-3.x to upgrade, and then upgrade to this LTS version.

Privacy

We have always valued the privacy of our users, so to ensure our privacy transparency and your right to know, we have publicized changes to our data collection list.
The following statistical metrics have been added to the data collection list.

• Research - ProtocolLib Version
  • We collect this so we can know the which one ProtocolLib is popular. ProtocolLib sometimes releases destructive updates, so we collect this metric to know the distribution of ProtocolLib versions among users and remove unused ProtocolLib workaround code to improve code maintainability and program performance.
• Statistic - Server Software Build Version
  • Spigot and Paper always release updates during their version support cycles. Counting the server-side software versions used by users lets us know which builds are popular. And it allows us to be more aggressive with newly added APIs, This can improve code maintainability, stability and program performance.
• Research - Geyser
  • We've released the display control addon for Geyser users, but we're ultimately undecided about a Geyser-specific update. The data collected from this research allows us to analyze the QuickShop-Hikari user base to check if Geyser or Floodgate is installed, and with the percentage of users who have the statistics, we will decide whether to add support for Geyser GUIs and the like. We also welcome your feedback on our Discord server.
