2.0.0 - EzTax

This release requires Minecraft 26.1 and Java 25. Upgrading from 1.x requires a fresh installation due to storage and configuration changes.

Minecraft 26.1 & Java 25

Updated to Paper API 26.1 and Java 25 compiler target.
Updated bStats, JaCoCo, and all dependencies to versions compatible with Java 25.

Database Refactor — Jaloquent ORM

Replaced raw JDBC with the Jaloquent ORM library for all database access.
MySQL storage now uses a proper connection pool with cleaner query building.
Added automatic schema migration system — the database updates itself on startup.
Tax history is now stored in a dedicated tax_history table.
YAML stats backend retained as the default for servers that don't use MySQL.

Tax History Command

EzSeasons Integration

Optional integration with the EzSeasons plugin via soft-dependency.
When a season resets, EzTax logs a summary containing the season dates and tax totals collected.

Startup Log Improvements

Cleaner, structured startup output — no more double [EzTax] prefixes.
Jaloquent internal log spam suppressed on startup.
Each subsystem now reports its active state on a single line: Storage: MySQL (table: tax_history), Economy: X via Vault, Permissions: X via Vault.
Final confirmation line: EzTax v2.0.0 enabled.

Vault Hook

Improved economy and permissions provider detection logging.
Transaction tax economy wrapper activation and deactivation is now logged explicitly.

Fixed shading of Micrometer and Prometheus libraries bundled with Jaloquent to prevent NoClassDefFoundError on server startup.

Maven Shade Plugin upgraded to 3.6.2.
JaCoCo upgraded to 0.8.14 (Java 25 support).
GitHub Pages documentation site added (just-the-docs theme).
CI workflow now clones and installs MockBukkit from source before building, since the dev build is not published to any Maven repository.
