Changelog

5.1.0

• F8 panel now tracks live backend reachability, same as the F4 Codex: it polls periodically while open, flips an online/offline state on real fetch success/failure (not just "config has a URL"), and dims the Buy/Donate/Gift buttons while offline.
• Shop catalog now syncs to remote clients over RPC. Previously valcoin_shop.yaml only existed on whichever machine loaded it, so vanilla/remote clients connecting to a dedicated server saw an empty shop. The server now broadcasts its parsed catalog to every connected client every 30 seconds.

5.0.0

Initial public release.

• Valcoin economy: /donate, /coins, /shop, /buy, /gift, /topdonors, /title, plus admin /givecoins and /removecoins.
• Four donation providers: Ko-fi, PayPal, Patreon, PayMongo — each independently optional, verified via its own webhook signature.
• F4 Donation Codex: browsable, offline-resilient home for the economy, shop catalog, and patron leaderboard. Lights up automatically when the backend comes online — no client update needed.
• F8 quick panel: Donate / Shop / Gift / Top tabs for players who also run the plugin.
• Mouse-cursor fix for both panels — click and navigate with the mouse instead of hotkeys only.
• grant_item shop effect: weekly-capped, boss-gated consumable items (hard-to-cook food, meads, rare materials) spawned directly into the buyer's inventory — works for vanilla clients too.
• Vanilla-client compatible: every command works via chat even without the plugin installed client-side.
