Wiki
The wiki was (once again) reworked under a new name called Docs. It now uses Hugo and the Relearn theme to make it more appealing for readers & flexible for maintainers to add more content. It also support translations so that other teams could (hopefully) translate the wiki and attract more users.
You can check out the new Wiki (Docs) here: https://bettergui-mc.github.io/Docs

Let's start the argument
Use coupon code HSGAMER to get 10% off for any transaction
- Introduce Argument Processor
This is a new menu component that handles the arguments of the command to open the menu.
It's more loose-coupling than the old approach to the argument handler. By supporting multiple processors, you can make all sort of possible ideas to work with the arguments of the menu. Developers can even make crazier ones of their favorite without duplicating the same code.
More details can be found here - Support Tab Complete on the command to open the menu
This is one more benefit of the Argument Processor. Developers can specify the suggestions when a player do a tab-complete on the open-menu command. - Deprecate Args Menu
This menu type is deprecated in favor of the new Argument Processor. You should switch to the new Argument Processor ASAP.
It's planned to be removed in the 8.0 update. - Deprecate Alternative Command Manager
This feature is deprecated because of inactivity. I don't see a reason to keep maintaining as a main feature of the main plugin.
If you are using this, you are recommended to use the commands.yml or wait for a specialized addon.
It's planned to be removed in the 8.0 update, and will be moved to an addon.

Read Carefully
Finally, All needed to finish the big update were done.
There are a lot of changes that I can't remember what I've done. Therefore, I'll only tell the breaking changes and how you can migrate to this version.
Changes: https://github.com/BetterGUI-MC/BetterGUI/releases/tag/7.0
Wiki
The Wiki has been moved to a new site.
It contains more details of every elements of the plugin and its addons.
You can find the wiki here.
Also, the source code of the wiki is hosted here. That means you can view the source and edit it.

Issue Tracker
The Issue Tracker has been moved to this repository.
I thought the issues should be treated separately so that they can be viewed by not just me, but also other users that find similar issues.

Material, Enchantment, Skull, Potion & Sound
Prior to 7.0, the plugin used XSeries to get version-independent values for these item modifiers and actions. Because XSeries is slow to update to the new values of the new versions, I decided to remove XSeries from the plugin starting from this update.
That means the value now depends on the version your server are using. Unless you used values that are not available in your server version, you would be fine to update the plugin.
If you want to use XSeries and get these version-independent values, you can install the new addon XCross and use its settings.

Expression & Condition
Prior to 7.0, this plugin used EvalEx to provide advanced Math expressions & conditions for the menu & button settings. I decided to remove EvalEx from the plugin because I want to maintain the function in a separated addon.
For now, the Condition requirement will only check if the value is "true", "on", "yes" or "0".
If you want to use advanced Math expressions & conditions or your menu are using them, you should install EvalExtra.

Addon Downloader
I've moved the Addon Downloader to be a new Menu Type.
If you want to use Addon Downloader, you should go to this page, copy the format, create a new menu file and paste the format to the file. This will restore the feature.
