1.34.0 - Kubernetes 1.27 Support, Allocation State Filter to Stable, and all the Addresses for GameServers

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Kubernetes Support: The latest update extends support to Kubernetes versions 1.25, 1.26, and 1.27, enhancing compatibility with current Kubernetes deployments.
Allocation State Filter is now Stable: The allocation state filter feature has been promoted to stable. It determines the specific state that should be filtered when trying to obtain a GameServer through allocation. By default, this filter is set to Ready, but it can also be set to Allocated. When the Allocated option is selected, it can be combined with label or player selectors to access an already Allocated GameServer.

1.33.0 - SDKGracefulTermination To Stable and Returning Metadata on Allocation

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This is the 1.33.0 release of Agones.

1.32.0 - Go 1.20 and Many Features Graduated To Beta!

Tue, 23 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This is the 1.32.0 release of Agones.

This upgrade ensures that your game servers are equipped with the latest tools and improvements, enhancing their overall performance and stability:

Upgrade to Go version 1.20.
The ResetMetricsOnDelete feature is now beta and enabled by default. Now when a Fleet or FleetAutoscaler is deleted from the system, Agones will automatically clear metrics that utilize their name as a label from the exported metrics, so the metrics exported do not continuously grow in size over the lifecycle of the Agones installation.
The PodHostname feature that allows you to access a GameServer Pod within a cluster by a DNS name is now beta and enabled by default.
The SplitControllerAndExtensions feature which splits the Agones controller into multiple binaries for better reliability is now beta and enabled by default.
The SafeToEvict feature has been promoted to stable.

We encourage you to take advantage of these promoted features to enhance the stability, performance, and functionality of your game servers.

- If you are using Helm, you might need to update your Helm version and/or do a clean install to apply this update to your cluster if you already have a version of Agones installed, due to the size of the CRD update.
SDKWatchSendOnExecute has been moved to Beta, so by default you will get a copy of the most recent GameServer information with your initial SDK.WatchGameServer(...) request.
The ability to apply port allocation to multiple containers has moved from Beta to Stable!

1.1.0 - Bug Fixes, Documentation and more

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0000

This is the 1.1.0 release of Agones.

Starting with the 1.1.0 release of Agones, the ports to which the sdkserver sidecar binds are now configurable. To take advantage of this feature, your game will need to use an updated SDK from the 1.1.0 release.

The default ports that the sdkserver binds to are ephemeral and can cause the sidecar to intermittently fail to start. For backwards compatibility with game servers compiled against the 1.0.0 SDKs, the default ports remain unchanged in this release but they will be changed in the next release of Agones to fix this bug. We strongly recommend that as part of upgrading to the 1.1.0 release of Agones you also update your game server containers to include the 1.1.0 SDK along with your game.
