5.6 build 2816

This version brings a lot of bugfixes, such as Geolocation database download changes, and some new features, such as CSV export, whitelist bounce gathering and more placeholders.

Special thanks to jhqwqmc, Vankka, Beniro, liuzhen932 and SlimeDog for contributions to this update!

Change log

Data Gathering

• Plan now downloads geolite database from playeranalytics.net - This is related to MaxMind reducing their daily download counts to 30/day by March 21st which breaks the geolocation database downloading. This means the geolocation database needs to be distributed via a server rather than from MaxMind directly. Currently Plan implicitly trusts that the webserver responding from geodb.playeranalytics.net is correct one. In future there will be a signature check added to ensure Plan is talking to correct server.
• Fixed server crash when using SQLite and Plan tried to gather installed plugin list on the server thread.

Allowlist bounces

Spigot, Sponge & Nukkit servers now gather whitelist bounces. There is a new tab on the server page under Online Activity which allows you to quickly see whose login has been blocked by whitelist, and who you have already allowed on the whitelist based on session data, so that you don't do unnecessary work allowing them again.

Visibility is controlled with web permission page.server.allowlist.bounce

Website

CSV Export in tables

You can now export CSV from most tables. This is especially useful when combined with Query features, such as the click-and-drag in calendar for selecting data from specific timeframe.

Other

• The react bundle is now built using Vite. It utilizes modules available in modern browsers. This sped up build times by 7 minutes and should also improve page loading speed.
• Fixed some issues where reverse proxied Plan website loaded a blank page
• Fixed issue where server players online graph was fetched for network page due to bad cache lookup
• Server & Network Overview now uses frontend formatting for playtime and dates
• Fixed issue where server ping table never loaded
• Fixed server calendar being editable (You could drag blocks around rather than select)
• Fixed ping graph not rendering on player page if there was a lot of points

Webserver

• Added simple DDoS protection that limits requests if same IP requests same path multiple times. This type of DDoS has become more prevalent against cloudflare IPs, where a Go-http-client based bot requests / repeatedly and doesn't follow redirects. Because browsers follow redirects this doesn't affect regular users.

Database

• Optimized how database handles transactions on disable. More unnecessary transactions are dropped

Fabric 1.20.4

• Binero implemented Fabric 1.20.4 support, 1.20.3 is not supported this build onwards.
• Fabric command registration was moved earlier to avoid confusion when /plan reload doesn't exist after failed enable.

Placeholders

• Added network_ equivalent to all missing server_ placeholders
• Added %plan_regular_players% and %plan_network_regular_players% placeholders
• Added %plan_join_address% placeholder
• Fixed off-by-one error in %plan_top_...% placeholders where 0 would be top 1 and 9 top 10. Now it matches documentation where 1 -> 1, and 10 -> 10. If you were compensating for this bug you may need to change %plan_top_..._0% to %plan_top_..._1% etc

Commands

• /plan ingame now shows Last join address of the player.

Export

• Fixed react files getting exported even when all export is disabled.

Extensions

• Vankka updated DiscordSRV Extension to fix an incompatibility with new DiscordSRV version
• @Conditional values are now removed when the value of the boolean changes in a way that unsatisfies the condition.
• Fixed FastLogin Extension recording "Unknown" when behind a proxy server
• Fixed Quests Extension support for Quests version 5, version 4 is no longer supported.

Locale

• jhqwqmc updated Chinese locale (CN)
• liuzhen932 updated Chinese locale (CN)
