   1. Block Listener

This is the last update of the 8.x cycle. Time for the next big update.

1. Add an option to limit the delay when a player clicks a button of a menu
   It's click-delay in menu-settings

This is just me doing the "challenge" to integrate Folia into my plugins.
I spent my morning updating HSCore to support Folia's Scheduler.
In the future, they may add backward support to Bukkit's Scheduler, or make a wrapper library (like what I've done in my HSCore).
I don't know what will happen. We will see about that.
For now, you can use this plugin in Folia.

1. Add initial support for Folia
2. Fix a template issue where the values are unnecessarily cached, which causes the buttons using a specific template to be the same

1. Update HSCore
2. Now use the deprecated way to fetch data from internet
   Old versions with old GSON can now use Updater & Addon Downloader (hopefully)
3. Remove force-update-inventory

1. Add include-menu-in-template in config.yml
   If set to true, the template name would include the config file
2. Now the plugin can load the template files in subfolders
3. Apply ConfigBuilder to Template Config

1. Add two options to config.yml
   
   1. relative-menu-name: Use the full path as the menu name
   2. trim-menu-file-extension: Trim the file extension & keep the file name only
2. Fix a warning when Permission & Condition Actions run while the plugin is disabled
3. Add ConfigBuilder to support more types of menu files
   An addon is planned

1. Fix an error when loading addons that have dependencies on other ones

1. Update the updater & downloader to use modern GSON
   If your server software didn't have GSON, the plugin would not work
2. Update the addon manager
   Will not close addons that have errors when loading
3. Show the state of the addons on the listing command

1. Add Predicate Menu
2. Now the plugin should close all opening menus when reloading

Main Plugin

1. Remove Args Menu
2. Remove Alternative Command Manager
   
   1. It was moved to a specialized addon
3. Remove default-menu-type & default-button-type
4. Update HSCore for the new GUI library
   
   1. Optimize Animated Button to use math & logic instead of Scheduler
5. Remove the unnecessary check if a string has Variables
6. Change the format of Permission Action
   permission (<permission1>, <permission2>, ...): <command>

Addon

1. Update most official addons to the latest build
2. Deprecate
   
   1. ComplexTextSender: Use PaperSpec instead
   2. OptEcoBridge: The plugin is abandoned
3. Change
   1. MetaPlay: Change the format to meta(<name>): <value>
   2. PaperSpec: Add Component-variant of tell and broadcast
   3. ASCII-Placeholders: Fix the config not being set up
4. New
   
   1. EnchantKeyring: Custom enchantments with NamespacedKey
   2. ExterHeads: Get heads from popular head plugins
   3. AlternativeCommandListener: A command listener that overrides duplicated commands

1. Introduce Argument Processor
   This is a new menu component that handles the arguments of the command to open the menu.
   It's more loose-coupling than the old approach to the argument handler. By supporting multiple processors, you can make all sort of possible ideas to work with the arguments of the menu. Developers can even make crazier ones of their favorite without duplicating the same code.
   More details can be found here
2. Support Tab Complete on the command to open the menu
   This is one more benefit of the Argument Processor. Developers can specify the suggestions when a player do a tab-complete on the open-menu command.
3. Deprecate Args Menu
   This menu type is deprecated in favor of the new Argument Processor. You should switch to the new Argument Processor ASAP.
   It's planned to be removed in the 8.0 update.
4. Deprecate Alternative Command Manager
   This feature is deprecated because of inactivity. I don't see a reason to keep maintaining as a main feature of the main plugin.
   If you are using this, you are recommended to use the commands.yml or wait for a specialized addon.
   It's planned to be removed in the 8.0 update, and will be moved to an addon.
