v1.45.0 Latest

Latest

This is the 1.45.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we’ve introduced Terraform scripts and updated documentation for setting up Agones on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE). Additionally, we’ve improved support for new Kubernetes versions, enhanced the Fleet Autoscaler, and introduced a new dashboard feature for GameServer state durations. Additionally, we've updated the Rust SDK and added a CI check for versioning in examples.

Updated Kubernetes Version Support (v1.29, v1.30, v1.31): Agones now officially supports Kubernetes versions 1.29, 1.30, and 1.31, ensuring compatibility with the latest Kubernetes releases for improved performance and stability.
Terraform Scripts and Documentation for OKE Cluster Setup: New documentation has been added, including Terraform scripts to help users set up an OKE (Oracle Kubernetes Engine) cluster and install Agones.
Rust SDK Updates: All Rust SDK dependencies have been updated to the latest versions. This update brings performance improvements, bug fixes, and ensures compatibility with the newest features in Rust.
Fleet Autoscaler Enhancements: List-based Scaling from Zero Replicas: The Fleet Autoscaler now supports scaling game server fleets from zero replicas when using a type List Fleet Autoscaler. This improves the flexibility of scaling fleets with GitOps based tools.
New Dashboard Feature for GameServer State Duration: A new dashboard feature has been added that provides insights into the duration of GameServer states. This will help operators monitor and debug the lifecycle of game servers more efficiently.

v1.43.0

37432d1

v1.43.0

This is the 1.43.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we updated the supported Kubernetes version, added a new scheduled autoscaler, as well as Unity support for Counters and Lists..

Kubernetes 1.30 Support
With this release, the Kubernetes support matrix for Agones is now 1.28, 1.29 and 1.30.
Alpha support for ScheduledAutoscaler
This provides the ability to have Fleet autoscaler scheduling with the feature flag ScheduledAutoscaler, to allow you to schedule what level of autoscaling you would like on a schedule or between dates, giving you more control over your autoscaling needs.
Unity SDK: Counters and Lists
We now have support for GameServer Counters and Lists with our Unity SDK!
New Helm Installation Configuration Options
Two new installation options!

We made the parameters that control how fast we scale up and down GameServers configurable, so you can see how fast your Kubernetes control plane really is when spinning up lots of GameServer instances.

We also have new Helm configuration options that allow the use of the host network for the Agones controller and extensions for AWS EKS when using Cilium.
Beta support for Passthrough PortPolicy on GKE Autopilot
We’ve graduated Passthrough Port Policy support from Alpha to Beta on GKE Autopilot, which you can now enable using the feature flag AutopilotPassthroughPort.

v1.42.0

11cc336

v1.42.0

This is the 1.42.0 release of Agones.

In this release we’ve added support for Kubernetes Security Contexts for all Agones containers, updated our documentation, and moved work forward on In-place Agones Upgrades and Scheduled Autoscalers.

Note: In this release we also removed the ConnectAsync method from the C# SDK, since it wasn’t providing any functionality for several releases. There’s no need to upgrade SDK’s at this time, but be aware that if you do, this function call will need to be removed from your code.

Enhanced Security Context in Agones Containers:
Security enhancements have been implemented in the Agones Helm chart to support configuring runAsUser, runAsGroup, and allowPrivilegeEscalation for core components (controller, extensions, ping, allocator), ensuring secure container operations. Additionally, default security configurations have been hardcoded into the game server sidecar template, enhancing overall container security.
Documentation Enhancements:
We updated the client sdk page to include that Counters and Lists have been implemented in the Node.js SDK. Additionally, clarification has been provided that the UpdateList REST documentation, specifically for how this pertains to the Local SDK Server.

v1.41.0

2abfd71

v1.41.0

This is the 1.41.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we’ve graduated the Counters and Lists feature to Beta, added a new None PortPolicy in Gameserver if you only want in-cluster communications, and started work on in-place upgrades of Agones -- starting with providing SDK compatibility guarantees between versions. . Additionally, we now have Alpha support for the Passthrough PortPolicy on GKE Autopilot.

Graduate Counters and Lists to Beta: We’ve graduated the Counters and Lists Feature from Alpha to Beta, which also includes a new Counters and Lists documentation landing page.
Node.js SDK for Counters and Lists: We’ve rolled out the implementation in the Node.js SDK for the Counters and Lists feature. This update implements the Node.js client methods that simplify the process of tracking numeric counters and lists of values on GameServers.
New “None” PortPolicy: A new PortPolicy “None” has been added as an Alpha feature. This allows direct connection to a Gameserver instance using only the PodIP and the ContainerPort, if you do not want to use a hostPort on your Nodes and/or keep traffic only within a cluster.
Moved sdk-server to utilize Patch instead of Update: This is the first step in building out support for In-place Agones upgrades and published SDK compatibility guarantees between Agones versions..
Alpha support for Passthrough PortPolicy on GKE Autopilot: You can now enable Passthrough Port Policy support on GKE Autopilot with the feature flag AutopilotPassthroughPort.

v1.40.0

f306a3f

v1.40.0

This is the 1.40.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we’ve updated our Kuberenetes support to include version 1.29, introduced a new implementation in the CSharp SDK for the Counters and Lists, graduated the FleetAllocationOverflow feature to stable, moved the DisableResyncOnSDKServer feature into beta and refined the documentation for Counters and Lists to simplify usage and enhance clarity.

Kubernetes Support Update 1.29: We’ve upgraded our Kubernetes compatibility to include version 1.29 and have discontinued support for version 1.26. Our current supported versions are now 1.27, 1.28, and 1.29. Please ensure your clusters are upgraded to one of these supported versions.
CSharp SDK for Counters and Lists: We’ve rolled out a new implementation in the CSharp SDK for the Counters and Lists features, along with significant enhancements to the documentation. These updates simplify the process of tracking numeric counters and lists of values on GameServers, providing clearer guidance.
Support for Extended Duration Pods on GKE Autopilot: Starting with Kubernetes version 1.28, we now support extended duration pods in Agones on GKE Autopilot. The GKEAutopilotExtendedDurationPods feature has been moved to Alpha status and requires Kubernetes versions 1.28 or newer. This enhancement is essential for those needing longer-lived pods in managed Kubernetes environments.
DisableResyncOnSDKServer in Beta: The DisableResyncOnSDKServer feature has progressed to beta in this release and is now enabled by default. This feature sets the resync interval to 0 to enhance performance by eliminating unnecessary resyncs.
FleetAllocationOverflow now Stable: With the FleetAllocationOverflow feature now stable in this release, you can apply labels and/or annotations to GameServers that exceed the desired number of replicas in a GameServerSet. This occurs when the allocation of GameServers surpasses the specified replica count.
Unity SDK Update: Enhanced Address Retrieval for GameServers: We've enhanced functionality to allow developers to conveniently access all associated addresses, including both IP and DNS, for a game server. This change simplifies the integration and deployment process by providing complete address information.
Counters & Lists Documentation Enhancements: We've standardized sorting priorities in GameServerAllocation and Fleet to consistently use available capacity and set the default sorting order as Ascending, making it easier to understand. We also have a new Counters and Lists documentation landing page to explain the functionality in full.
Optimised GameServer Sub-Controller Queues: We noticed that parts of the Agones contoller were queuing way too many items than they should, resulting in consuming more memory than was ideal. This fixes that, ensuring that far fewer records get queued, resulting in a leaner memory footprint from the controller.

v1.39.0

281d2e6

v1.39.0

This is the 1.39.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we’ve made some important changes and introduced exciting new features, including an example for integrating GenAI, improved GameServer allocation results for Counters and Lists, and a new example custom GameServer controller.

Breaking Changes:

C++ gRPC Setup: This is a breaking change with our dependency management for C++ and gRPC. Our CMake file no longer automatically imports and compiles gRPC, as it was getting increasingly fragile. Now, to install the C++ SDK, you will need to install gRPC manually before installing the C++ SDK.
GKE Terraform - Agones-Metrics nodepools: With our latest tweak in GKE Terraform configuration, the agones-metrics nodepool is disabled by default, as not everyone will want it. If you do need it for Prometheus and Grafana? Just turn it on and you’re set.

Key highlights of this release include:

GenAI and Agones: We've added a new example GenAI game server that shows how to integrate Generative AI backends into your Agones game server.
Counters and Lists Allocation Results: GameServer Allocation results now also return the current state of Counter and List values on the allocated GameServer, making workflows based on these values much easier.
Concise SDK Logging: Our latest SDK update ensures that if you set an Error or Warning log level on the SDK sidecar -- we now respect that for the entire lifecycle of the SDK sidecar process.
New Example Custom GameServer Controller: See how to implement your own custom controller with Agones resources with only a small amount of code.

v1.38.0

This is the 1.38.0 release of Agones.

Key highlights of this release include Nodepool Upgrades on GKE Terraform and the support of Pod Topology Spread Constraints, alongside internal upgrades to Golang, Docker, and Debian. We have also made improvements to the Agones documentation, particularly for the Counters and Lists feature.

Improved Counters and Lists: New life cycle management examples in the Agones documentation are now available for the Counters and Lists feature. Try it out, share your feedback, and if you find any bugs, please file issues and PRs.
Nodepool Upgrades on GKE Terraform: It’s an important update for managing node pools in Kubernetes clusters. We've separated node pool definitions from the cluster setup, allowing for easier updates and synchronization between control planes and nodes.
Pod Topology Spread Constraints: Want to utilize Pod Topology Spread Constraints on Agones components? Now you can with our new configuration options on our Helm chart.

v1.37.0

e804614

v1.37.0

This is the 1.37.0 release of Agones.

This release sees the first milestone of a over-a-year series of work on the functionality of arbitrary Counters and Lists attached to each GameServer!

We’ve also upgraded the following features: CountsAndLists to alpha, FleetAllocationOverflow to Beta, and PodHostName, ResetMetricsOnDelete, and SplitControllerAndExtensions to Stable - with defaults below.

CountsAndLists: This feature flag provides functionality for a configurable set of Counters or Lists be attached to GameServers with attached allocation and autoscaling functionality to provide a flexible implementation that can handle a wide range of use cases such as player tracking, high density game server room tracking, and could even be used for game specific game server allocation prioritization.

Documentation is a little sparse in this release, but will grow! We’re focusing on the reference material first and will then expand into more in-depth guides and integration patterns.

Note: Counters and Lists will eventually replace the Alpha functionality of Player Tracking, which will subsequently be removed from Agones. If you are currently using this Alpha feature, we would love for you to test (and ideally migrate to!) this new functionality to ensure it will meet all your needs.

FleetAllocationOverflow: Labels and/or annotations to GameServers that exceed the desired number of replicas in a GameServerSet. This occurs when the allocation of GameServers surpasses the specified replica count.

PodHostName: Enables the assignment of the GameServer’s name as the PodHostname.

ResetMetricsOnDelete: This feature instructs the metrics service to unregister and then re-register the relevant metrics view to reset their state immediately whenever an Agones resource is deleted.

SplitControllerAndExtensions: This feature introduces an important change in Agones for high availability. It separates the system's responsibilities into two binaries: the controller, which now handles Kubernetes object monitoring and uses a leader election system to keep only one active controller at a time, and a new horizontally scalable extensions binary, focused on managing webhook endpoints.

v1.36.0

3e72a6c

v1.36.0

This is the 1.36.0 release of Agones.

In this release:

We've added support for Kubernetes 1.28 and have discontinued support for 1.25 to bring the support matrix to 1.26, 1.27 and 1.28 . Please upgrade your clusters accordingly.
We’ve resolved path issues in the Unreal Engine Plugin to ensure compatibility with Unreal Engine 5.3.
We are now using Go 1.20.10 and gRPC 1.57.1, which includes a number of performance improvements and important security fixes.
GameServers that end up in Error state now have a delay before deletion, allowing developers a chance to see why they have failed, and prevent GameServer churn from overwhelming the Kubernetes control plane.
We've upgraded to the latest v0.7.1 Docsy- let us know if you see anything broken in the docs!
