0.8.4

• Fixed logic in msm update which allowed MSM to think everything was already updated.

0.8.2

• Improved msm update output to make more sense.

0.8.1

• Improved msm update to work when upgrading from older versions, and handle updating the update code.

0.8.0

• Fixed global stop and start commands from failing since 0.7.0.

0.7.2

• Fixed several bugs where the server username was not being used. Affected the msm <server> worlds backup, msm <server> cmd and msm <server> cmdlog commands.

0.7.1

• Fixed issue #54 where setting a server's jar file would fail to create the symbolic link.

0.7.0

• Added /etc/profile.d/msm.sh support. Define environment variables there, and both MSM and bash completion scripts will see it. At this point you can add the MSM_SCRIPT and MSM_CONF environment variables to tell MSM where you have installed your MSM files:
  • Add export MSM_SCRIPT="/path/to/msm" if you have changed it from /etc/init.d/msm.
  • Add export MSM_CONF="/path/to/msm.conf" if you have changed it from /etc/msm.conf.
• Added some simple stopped server unit tests for half the commands.
• Refactored config property loading to be "lazy". Speeds up all commands by only loading from file what is needed.
• Improved whitelist, operator, player ban, ip ban, gamemode and kick commands to support multiple space-separated users.
• Improved whitelist, operator, player ban and ip ban commands to also work when the server is stopped.
• Improved MSM script speed for BASH 4 users (loading config properties is now much faster.)
• Improved BASH completion to also use default settings specified in MSM.
• Removed use of subshells in script (using less means faster code.)

0.6.4

• Closes issue #25 by improving the msm <server> start command to be more robust. It now alerts the user when the server jar to be started cannot be found, and prints out dots for each log line created during startup. The absence of these dots make it simple to spot a hanging server.
• Fixed a bug with the msm <server> say command, where it would only accept 2 or more arguments.

0.6.3

• Improved the msm server list command to show active/inactive and running/stopped statuses. Thanks to oldman,j's suggestion.

0.6.2

• Fixed issue #49 where, probably since 0.6.0, active files where not being created upon server start.

0.6.1

• Fixed test.sh to use new settings names.
