🚀 Improvements

  • Code:
    • Lots of code smells have been fixed in this version, and lots of code has been refactored to make it easier to
      understand and maintain.

🪲 Bug Fixes

  • Bot API:
    • Sometimes the RoundEnded event was not received by a bot.
    • Java API only: BotInfo.setGameTypes() is now taken a Set instead of a List as input parameter.
    • Some public methods on abstract classes were changed to protected methods.
  • Server:
    • Scores in the results table are now sorted, so bots with the highest total score is put in the top of the results.
  • Java archive (jar) files:
    • The jar files containing javadoc documentation and source files was not given the correct name when they were
      built and published to the repositories.
