Short notes on what changed in each release.

If there is anything that has to be taken care of manually after updating the scripts from previous versions (e.g. add an option to the global config or copy files) it will explicitly be stated in the release notes.

v.20 (2014-06-20)

v.19 (2014-06-15)

  • Using SteamDB.info for remote BuildId retrieval instead of SteamCMD. Should properly show available updates now

v.18 (2014-06-15)

  • Fixed updatescripts deleting start-stop-daemon

Update from previous versions: You have to recompile start-stop-daemon once when updating from previous versions:

cd /usr/local/lib/7dtd/start-stop-daemon
gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wno-return-type -o start-stop-daemon start-stop-daemon.c
chown root.root start-stop-daemon
chmod 0755 start-stop-daemon

v.17 (2014-06-15)

  • Fixed display of server name with blanks in status command

v.16 (2014-06-09)

  • Fixed log-monitor to properly handle nicknames with blanks

v.15 (2014-06-09)

  • updateengine command now checks current local and remote build id to see if there is an update at all
    • To force an update just as before call with --force
    • To only check for updates call with --check
  • updatescripts command allows forced update with --force

v.14 (2014-06-09)

  • Backup options added (see Backups for more details on these options):
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MIN_BACKUPS_KEEP
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MAX_BACKUPS
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MAX_STORAGE
    • SDTD_BACKUP_MAX_AGE
    • SDTD_BACKUP_COMPRESS
  • Made cron-script to run backups with lower priority for reduced server load spikes.

Update from previous versions:

  • Add the new backups options manually to /etc/7dtd.conf
  • Change the line in /etc/cron.d/7dtd-backup and add nice -n 15 so it looks like this:
    #0 *     * * *   root    nice -n 15 /usr/local/bin/7dtd.sh backup
    
    (The hash in the front obviously depends whether you enabled the automatic backups or not)

v.13 (2014-06-05)

  • Command updatescripts added: Updates the management scripts
  • Command about added: Show short about and version number
