What's Changed

• Implement valueMap for StampedConfig, resolve #177 by @TheElectronWill in #178
• Fix some AsyncFileConfig issues, resolve #181 and #180 by @TheElectronWill in #182
• More warnings have been fixed

Full Changelog: v3.8.0...v3.8.1

What's Changed

• FileWatcher offers new methods that return a CompletableFuture
• Every FileConfig is now a ConcurrentConfig
• Some warnings have been fixed.

Full Changelog: v3.7.4...v3.8.0

Fixes

This minor release fixes a bug that caused the FileWatcher to close when a directory containing watched files was deleted. Also, an exception is now raised early if the FileWatcher is used in an unsupported manner.

Full Changelog: v3.7.3...v3.7.4

Fixes

This minor release fixes a bad interaction between AsyncFileConfig and StampedConfig, and between SyncFileConfig, SynchronizedConfig and TomlParser, which resulted in some TOML configurations to be mis-loaded. Thanks to @Technici4n for discovering the bug!

Full Changelog: v3.7.2...v3.7.3

TOML Fixes

• Implement TOML test suite by @TheElectronWill in #175

The TOML implementation is now more robust thanks to toml-test. We don't call the binary, but rather include the repository as a Git submodule in order to grab all the test files.

Compatibility note: the TOML parser of NightConfig now rejects some files that it would have previously accepted (even though they were invalid). This is intended, and we encourage all users to fix their invalid TOML files.

Please read the release notes of v3.7.0 ✨ to learn what has changed since v3.6.x.

Full Changelog: v3.7.1...v3.7.2

Fixes

• Resolve a misconfiguration of the Gradle build, see #173 for more details
• Fix a minor issue with the new options of JsonParser

You should use v3.7.1 instead of v3.7.0.

Major changes

• FileWatcher now comes with out-of-the-box debouncing, which improves the performance of autoreloading and autosaving configurations ⚡, see #148
• FileConfig instances are now actually thread-safe and work better with autoreload, which should prevent most of the corruption issues 🛡️, see #152
• A new Serialization/Deserialization framework is available in the serde package 🚀, see #163.
  Unlike the old ObjectConverter, the new ObjectSerializer and ObjectDeserializer are modular and extensible: you can register your own serializers and deserializers. Deserializers (config -> object) are chosen based on the generic type of the field to set and the type of the config value to deserialize. This allows for fine-grained deserialization. The old ObjectConverter still works but is now deprecated. The goal is to remove the old conversion package in version 4.0.0.

Enhancements

• Allow multiple spec conditions to be checked by @vaperion in #151 (Note: this fix applies to the deprecated conversion package; the new serde package supports multiple @SerdeAssert conditions out of the box)
• Support UTF-16 and UTF-8 BOM by @TheElectronWill in 68502b9
• In ConfigSpec and in the new serde Deserializer, automatically apply some "risky" conversions (e.g. long -> int) when it is not lossy, close #119
• Allow custom Config storage in ConfigSpec, by @PaintNinja in #168
• More unit tests, on Java 8, Java 11 and Java 17, by @TheElectronWill

Bug fixes

• toml: Fix squeezed Files by @Stein-N in #154
• toml: Align List ending when in a "group" by @Stein-N in #160
• toml: Allow header comments by @Stein-N in #162
• json: Disallow trailing data (configurable) by @TheElectronWill, close #167
• Multiple bugs have been fixed in ObjectConverter by @TheElectronWill in #163

Compatibility Note

NightConfig 3.7.0 is backward-compatible with previous releases, therefore I encourage you to upgrade your dependency on NightConfig in order to benefit from the new version.

Binary-wise, the backward-compatibility has been checked with japicmp.
Source-wise, there is one small incompatible change: FileWatcher#addWatch no longers throws an IOException, which can result in a compiler error unreachable code on the associated try/catch (example in forge).

New Contributors

• @vaperion made their first contribution in #151
• @Stein-N made their first contribution in #154
• @PaintNinja made their first contribution in #168

Thank you everyone!
