BREAKING UPDATE 2.0.0

This update breaks dependency mods, only update when all mods depending on it releases a compatibility update

FEATURES

• Code ported to JAVA 8
• Extended support of old versions of Minecraft (Now supported versions are on MinecraftForge 1.12.2 ~ 1.20.x AND FABRIC 1.16.5 ~ 1.20.x)
• FABRIC support is back (but this time 100%)
• Enhanced Bootstrap

API: FEATURES

• Rewrite of ImageAPI
  • ImageCache: friendly cache system for already loaded pictures.
  • ImageFetch: Async class to fetch pictures from internet. now uses ExecutorServices to avoid any kind of sync bug
  • ImageRenderer: container of a picture, can be a gif or just a picture.
• Rewrite of PlayerAPI
  • BasePlayer: VLC Player base. all methods can be used in other threads (do not expect to be 100% stable)
  • VideoPlayer: Extends BasePlayer; includes GL rendering tools to process IntBuffers
  • SyncBasePlayer: A synchro base. all methods should be executed on the instance thread or player thread. Can be executed async task using "submit()"
  • SyncVideoPlayer: Extends SyncBasePlayer; includes GL rendering tools to process IntBuffers
• WaterMediaAPI: Renamed all methods. Now all starts with category_action(arguments)
• Removed special VLC failed pictures for Windows users
• URLApi: Added Special Fixers
  • Special Fixers are "nothing special." These are disabled by default in our API, and other modders should add the capability to enable it by the end user
  • Special Fixers can be enabled on PlayerAPI but are restricted on ImageAPI
  • These fixers add compatibility to pages with not much acceptance by the people. BE AWARE

CHANGES

• Added more VLC binaries
  • This fixes issues with OGG and MP3 compatibility

BUG FIXES

• Fixed URLFixer for Twitch, TwitterX.
• Fixed logger doesn't gzip last log session file of VLC on Bootstrap
  • Check your tmp directory (watermedia/logs/latest.log) and delete it
  • The Current record is 2GB
  • F for QSMP members

DEVELOPMENT CHANGES

• Dropped Non-LTS versions
  • LTS versions (for us) are versions with a big player base (1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.x)
  • Technically API can be loaded in ANY version of Minecraft (in range of 1.12.2~1.20.x)
  • This was decided just to prevent dependent modders being bugged with "why it doesn't exist for 1.17.x ". They can just blame us :)

OTHER CHANGES

I made more stuff internally, but I forgot what features were added who added and (whatever) just enjoy the rewrite
