This is the 1.33.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we have focused on improving the documentation, stabilized the SDKGracefulTermination feature and also are now returning GameServer annotations and labels on allocation response.

  • The SDKGracefulTermination feature has been promoted to stable. The SDK server will now remain active for the specified terminationGracePeriodSeconds until SDK.Shutdown() has been called to ensure that game servers can successfully run to completion during automatic node upgrades without downtime.

  • The helm documentation has been restructured into multiple sections making it much easier to understand the configuration options and customize the Agones installation.

  • GameServerAllocation now has a metadata field returned with the metadata of the allocated GameServer. This can be useful for returning information about the GameServer, Fleet or even the cluster to the allocating process.

Check the README for details on features, installation and usage.

v1.32.0

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.

Check the README for details on features, installation and usage.
