Infrarust v1.4.0 - MOTD Overhaul, bug fixes & Log filtering

The customization and reliability update you've been waiting for! 🎉

those features have been asked through the discord server feel free to join to share some features Ideas !

🌟 Major New Features

config_examples/config.yaml & config_examples/proxies/local-server.yaml have been updated to reflect change from this update !

🖼️ PNG Favicon Support

No more base64 hassles! You can now use PNG files directly:

motd:
  favicon: "./assets/my-cool-icon.png"  # Just point to your PNG!

• Works with both absolute and relative paths
• Smart fallback system finds your files automatically
• Still supports base64 if that's your thing

🎨 Multi-State MOTD System

Create different messages for every server situation:

server:
  motds:
    online:
      text: "§a§lServer Online! Join the fun!"
      favicon: "./icons/online.png"
    offline:
      text: "§eServer's napping. Connect to wake it up!"
    crashed:
      text: "§4Oops! Server had a moment. Admin's on it!"
    shutting_down:
      text: "§cShutting down in ${seconds_remaining}!"

• Separate MOTDs for online, offline, starting, crashed, and more
• Dynamic countdown timers with ${seconds_remaining} placeholder
• Smart fallback: specific → global → default message
• Per server config based motd handling

🔍 Regex Log Filtering

Cut through the noise and see what matters:

logging:
  regex_filter: "error|warn|fatal"  # Only show the important stuff (Only filter through the message)
    # Configure different log levels for each type
  log_types:
    # Core system logs - keep these visible
    supervisor: "info"
    server_manager: "info"
    #...
    telemetry: "error"

  # Exclude very noisy log types
  exclude_types:
    - "tcp_connection"
    - "packet_processing"

• Filter logs with powerful regex patterns
• Performance optimized with compiled regex caching
• Graceful fallback when patterns fail
• Show only targets you want

🔧 Major Fixes & Improvements

💪 Solid Server Process Management

Fixed those annoying issues where crashed servers weren't detected properly:

• Complete ProcessManager rewrite with better error handling
• No more hanging processes or memory leaks
• Immediate cleanup when servers crash or shut down

🚫 Smarter Ban System

CLI ban commands now prevent duplicates:

> ban -u BadPlayer 1d "Griefing"
> ban -u BadPlayer 1d "More griefing"  # Won't create duplicate!
Error: Player 'BadPlayer' is already banned

• Checks for existing bans before creating new ones
• Clear error messages for duplicate attempts
• Works for IP, username, and UUID bans

🚀 Performance & Reliability

Memory Usage

• Eliminated memory leaks in process management
• Better cleanup strategies across the board
• Optimized MOTD generation with reduced allocations

🔄 Migration & Compatibility

Good news: Almost Everything's backward compatible!

• Existing configs keep working while you upgrade gradually
• PNG favicons are optional - keep your base64 if you want
• All improvements work transparently in the background

Not backward compatible

• the motd field has been renamed to motds

🐛 What Got Squashed

• Resolved race conditions in state management
• Better error handling throughout the codebase
