CraftSearch 5.0

Welcome to CraftSearch 5!

Here is what's new:

• We completely remade the CraftSearch core.
• You can now use Direct Connect 2, which works a lot better now and is not a beta feature anymore.
• The new ORS API (Online Remote Search), allowing you to do searches across the entire network. Just use the /s command on your server and you'll see the same menu as on our hub, with Click-To-Connect ready to use.
• Along with it, the LTS API (Language Transfer System), allowing you to detect which language the player prefer to use, and translate all your server messages in this language.
• Some better integration of the CraftSearch services when the player does not come from CraftSearch.
• The brand new advanced 3S API (Sanction Share System), allowing you to use the power of the cloud to sync the bans across your servers, automatically.
• Smart Updater 2. With all the new features coming, we have given even more intelligence to our Smart Updater. Now, not only will the updater show you alerts of an available update, but will :
• 1 : if no player connected, download the update and install it by itself
• 2 : if some players are connected, wait for an admin to confirm the restart.
• CraftSearch Manager
• Add your server by ping without any plugin.
• Add a large amount of servers by XML
• Next-generation Manager that is powered by it's own API, allowing us to create the first CraftSearch mobile apps
• Worldwide GDPR compliance (access and download your data, delete your account, give your consent before we collect any data...)
• New ID system for servers to protect them
• All new web-based API to handle the servers - up to 80% faster worldwide, and fewer ressources needed
• Faster name and description API process
• We now have a completely new and original map

As we are working on a bigger project, the update rythm did slow down last year and might still be slow this year 2020, but we think you are going to love our next big project on which CraftSearch will have a place.

Our first ever LTS version !

Released on 29/01/2018 (EU FORMAT): As CraftSearch is becoming pretty much stable after one year of providing our plugin, and as we prepare us for CraftSearch 5, we decided to post the latest update of the 4th version of CraftSearch in 2018. Happy new year. Introducing CraftSearch 4.5 LTS!

What does "LTS" stands for?
LTS means "Long Term Support". CraftSearch 4.5 LTS is built to last. It includes a completely new communication protocol, which will make it still compatible AND supported with CraftSearch 7. It allows the developers to modify the plugin without worrying about updates, since it is the last update of CraftSearch 4.

What's new?
Pretty much nothing, honestly. We are preparing for the biggest release ever, CraftSearch 5. This is only a small update.
Like every LTS version we will make, you now have the possibility to disable the automatic updater to prevent CraftSearch to inform you about the next CraftSearch 5 release.
PremiumGuard now has its own updater, you will soon understand why.
We updated our open source licence to 2018.
You can still use CraftSearch 4.4.1 without any problem, and it will still be compatible with CraftSearch 5, even with the older protocol.

Version(s) under support :
-4.5_LTS
-4.4.1

Outdated versions still working, without support :
-4.4

Server management hotfix

Released on 10/09/2017 (EU FORMAT): This small update is a hotfix for our server management system. We invite you to install the update as soon as you can to avoid annoying errors and warnings in your log.

We are now publishing our releases on GitHub to allow you to try older versions of the CraftSearch clients. All our additional release notes are on our Spigot page : https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/craftsearch.35068/

NOTE : THIS VERSION OF CRAFTSEARCH IS STILL SUPPORTED AND WORKING PERFECTLY FINE. HOWEVER, A NEWER VERSION IS AVAILABLE.
