Changelog

Bug fixes:

• Fixed an issue where you would be unable to view your character account if you had no cash on your character.
• Fixed an issue with the donation email which was not resolved in the previous bug fix.
• Fixed an issue which prevented players replying to support tickets.
• Fixed an issue with the creating of articles.
• Fixed an issue with the editing of articles, where the content of the article would not load.
• Fixed an issue on the faction centre where the faction centre would not load if the leader name was invalid.
• Hopefully fixed the issue where sessions would not persist, although this isn't yet confirmed.
• Fixed some misc design issues.

Additions:

• Added the ability for myself and management to restart the server in emergency situations.
• Added the ability for mangement to delete character accounts.
  • For the time being if you wish to delete a character account you must raise a suport ticket. The reasoning behind this is that the previous system was heavily abused and led to money farming, so some serious thought will go into the new one.
• Added the viewing of connection logs for administrators.
• Heavily refactored the max online players query, to only update when the count is higher than the rest of the day.
• Added a custom 404 page to replace the default Laravel one.

Upcoming changes:

• The one requested feature that is still missing is the ability to transfer donator vehicles, it is the one feature I haven't had time to do before pushing this bug fix out. However, a more feature rich release will follow in the early part of next week, so if I could kindly ask you all to bare with me for time being that would be great. The ability to transfer donator vehicles may come much sooner, but at the latest it will be Monday.

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed an issue with adding of changelogs.
• Fixed an issue where all businesses would show as unenterable regardless of their status.
• Fixed a missing URL link in the donations email.
• Fixed a bug with the Discord application bot.
• Fixed an issue where a players faction rank would always be 1.
• Fixed an issue where ticket comments and subjects could be XSS exploitable. (Whoops)
• Fixed an issue where a unhandled exception would return the Whoops page instead of a generic error page.
• Fixed an issue where changelogs would show to payers regardless of their published status.
• Changed the online player count to use the database to prevent the issue where the page would not always load on first request due to the SAMP query API not completing correctly.
• Fixed an issue where the servers page would not work at all if the server was offline.
• Fixed an issue where the ACP menu would not scroll if the menu overflowed on certain resolutions

Additions:

• Added the ability for admins to unban players via the ACP (Missing feature)
• Added the viewing of admin records per master account via the ACP (Missing feature)
• Added the ability for management and myself to refund premium levels.
• Added the prices of the one off purchases to the donate page. Forum name changes and master account name changes will follow tonight, since a bit of work needs to be done around them.
• Added premium expiration to the dashboard. You will receive an email informing you of your expiration date 7, 5 and 2 days prior to it expiring.
• Added the unassigned ticket count to the ACP menu.
• Restricted the viewing of raw error pages to myself, Fr0st and TommyB.
• Added viewing of vehicles for players.

Changes/Removals:

• Removed the %'s on the ACP for now, until further testing is done.
• Removed the abilitiy for testers to access the ACP and thus handle applications until approval from Management.
• Removed the notification settings, deletion request and character settings for now, these will be re-added and functional in a feature release later in the week.
• Changed all references fo £ to $ with regards to donation.

Bug Fixes

• The new UCP is completely compatible with the 3.0 version of the gamemode, meaning that your inventory etc will now match up to what you have in-game, preventing the confusion caused by this.
• Fixed issues with the faction centre being inaccessible after the release of gamemode version 3.0.
• Fixed all the random 500 errors that have been happening recently.
• The faction centre is now accessible.

New Features

• Complete redesign both of the frontend and the ACP. The frontend design was created by @Bauer and the majority was coded by @Chilco, so thanks to them for that!
• Completely recoded backend, none of the existing code from the old UCP has been implemented into the new one. The purpose of the new UCP was mainly to allow us to move from an old version of the Laravel framework to a much newer one, allowing us to ensure we are fully up to date with new security releases etc.
• The new donation system as stated in Tommy's announcement has been implemented into this release of the User Control Panel.
• Users can no longer register using disposable email addresses.
• The emails that you will receive from the UCP are now more informative and more intuitive.

Adjustments/Changes

• Removed the following features:
  • Public Character Profiles - The system will return at a later date, but was not seen as required for this version of the UCP to release.
  • Friends System (Meme)
  • Two Factor Authentication - 2FA will be worked on shortly.
  • Faction MDC - This was not seen as a priority feature, as most features are in-game. Nonetheless, a basic MDC will be in the first feature release and then will be built on.
• New donations will be viewed from your master account dashboard (/user/dashboard) and legacy donations are still viewable from your individual character accounts.

Planned Features

• Turf Maps have been a much requested feature from mainly @Crazy Andre since he's a pest. They were originally meant to be implemented into the old UCP, but the decision was made by myself to halt all work on the old UCP and only fix major security bugs.
• MDC - Each faction that requires the MDC will be spoken to individually once the initial generic version has been launched, as I plan to implement features that each faction require.
• Refunds - At the moment the refund process is a bit backwards, and requires multiple stages to actually have the item refunded to you. The idea is that refunds will be done through the UCP and certain refunds will require approval from management etc.
• Forum Integration - A feature that won't happen for a while since there are many other things that will come first. However, the idea is that you will receive your groups etc when you join a faction automatically as well as donator groups etc.
• Asset Management - will allow you to manage certain features of your houses and/or business. Including firing of managers, locking of the businesses and requesting stock.
