Changelog

Every published release, newest first. Breaking changes are always called out explicitly with a migration path.

Versions follow semantic versioning: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Patch and minor updates are always drop-in — stop the server, swap the jar, start it again.

AquaCore

2.0.0 Breaking

Added the module system — modules.yml lets you disable anything you do not use.
Added /aqua preview <template> to render a template to yourself only.
Added the --silent flag on broadcasts.
Added gradient support: <gradient:#a:#b>text</gradient>.
Changed templates moved from a single templates.yml into one file per template under templates/.
Changed AquaCoreAPI.getInstance() renamed to AquaCoreAPI.get().
Removed settings.legacy-colors — legacy codes are always parsed now.

Migration from 1.x

1.x	2.0
`templates.yml` → `templates.welcome`	`templates/welcome.yml`
`custom-args` (root)	`broadcast.custom-args`
`cooldown` (root)	`broadcast.cooldown`
`AquaCoreAPI.getInstance()`	`AquaCoreAPI.get()`

AquaCore migrates the YAML automatically on first boot and prints a Config migration block listing every key it moved. Your old files are kept as *.yml.bak.
