Modifyworld is NO LONGER distributed with PermissionsEx. Download it from its project page

Special thanks to stuntguy3000 and Gabscap for their important contributions to this release!

NON-REVERTIBLE backend schema changes will occur with this release. Once a server is successfully started with version 1.22, previous versions of PEX will not be able to understand the file or SQL schemas.

Changelog

1.22.4:

• Re-add timed groups
• Correctly remove options deleted during the lifetime of a user from the per-user cache
• Only store last login time for non-virtual players
• Make user renaming a bit more reliable
• Modify bulk uuid conversion to request multiple UUIDs at once and not block the server. This results in a massive performance improvement over the previous method and is functional with Mojang's ratelimiting
• Improve error message when plugins query invalid permissions

1.22.3:

• Resolve an issue with SQL schema upgrades that was identified after 1.22.2 was uploaded but before it was approved.

1.22.2:

• Make a backup of backend before performing a schema update
• Include number of users in a group when listing users in that group
• Better support for UTF-8 characters in SQL
• Improve interaction with LilyPad's uuid injection
• Slight performance tweaks
• Handle several previous error conditions encountered after errors occurr during startup and PEX disables itself
• Improve error reporting to provide more useful data
• Correct several SQL queries (thanks to Gabscap)

1.22:

• Fix issues when other plugins try to interact with a disabled PEX
• Improve automatic error reporting
• Fix world inheritance
• Improve file and database schema (NOTE: At this point, reverting to a previous database schema is no longer possible.
• Fix non-inheritable permissions
• Thread-safety tweaks.

Known issues

• Usage of PEX's custom numerical range syntax is no longer supported due to conflicts with UUIDs. This functionality had very limited documentation and would cause server hangs. If a stable implementation is found, this functionality may return.
• Schema changes have occurred. SQLite does not support schema changes, so any users using sqlite are advised to export their database to file and recreate the sqlite database.
