Version 119 (modified by Christian Illy, 2 months ago) ( diff )

--

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.117 (2024-09-23)

  • Added: Backup: -F flag to rsync invocation so that the instances or any subfolder can have .rsync-filter files to specify files to be excluded from backups (like .git folders)

v.116 (2024-07-23)

  • Added config setting EDITOR to /etc/7dtd.conf to specify file editor when editing instances
  • Dropped interactive instance editor in favor of just opening a default texteditor on the serverconfig.xml

    • Also allows looking at the comments in the serverconfig explaining the different settings quite well already
  • Updated instances list subcommand to include web dashboard port and "Telnet" port in output

  • Updated updateengine command for changes in SteamCMD
  • Updated log monitoring code to work with A21 log output - should also be compatible with V1.0 output, not verified so far
