The resolution logic was reworked so that Claritas only needs to be invoked once per supported type, ie only once for ForgeMod and LiteMod resolutions per server. The resolver now uses identifies module candidates and collects them. Claritas is invoked and the resulting metadata is stored. The module resolution then proceeds with all of this data available.
Toggleable module logic was also reworked to first accumulate all candidates and then process. This required the resolution function to optionally take a preprocess and postprocess callback to perform the necessary cleanup and transformations.
The minor rework was necessary because spawning child process is expensive, and we should only do it as often as we must to keep the application performant.
Claritas resolution also supports exceptions defined by the structure class. This is to facilitate handling of special cases (ex. Optifine).
Directories representing toggleable modules are now segemented into three subdirectories.
* `required` Modules that are required.
* `optionalon` Modules that are optional and enabled by default.
* `optionaloff` Modules that are optional and disabled by default.
Filter your files into these three directories. Files at the root directory will no longer be processed. Currently, forgemods and litemods are the only toggleable modules.
For existing servers, just manually create these directories and move your files inside either of them. Generating a new server will automatically create them.
The distrometa.json file is stored at {ROOT}/meta/distrometa.json.
You can generate it by rereunning the init root command.
It behaves exactly the same as the servermeta.json file.
Changed the resolver names to match the Forge Gradle versions, since that software version
determines the structure of the jar file and how it needs to be parsed.
Refactored the ForgeGradle3 resolver to conditionally execute the installer only when we
need artifacts generated by the installer. This allows the new 1.12.2 builds to be processed
without running the installer.
Changed the VersionSegemented interface to accept a libraryVersion, so we can segment within
a minecraft version.
This change is pending verification with Helios.
Put all libraries into the libraries folder at the root of your server directory.
These will be added to the distribution as Library modules. Recall, Library modules
are added to the client's classpath at runtime.
Tslint is deprecated, as such we have moved to eslint. Linted the project with more
stringent rules. The configuration will be changed as we figure out which rules we
should keep.
All pack.xz libraries now have their MD5s properly calculated.
Sha1 validations are performed on jar libraries. The checksums
forge provides for compressed files are neither the sha1 or md5
of the initial or extracted file. Ignoring those for now.
Still TODO is integration with baseurl. Might move both that
and base path to the .env file to reduce redundency in command processing.
