1.17.0

Major changes in this version

New packaging of Web API

The Web API has been repackaged. The CommonJS target has been removed and the Node target has been bundled with WebPack. See our upgrade notes for more information.

New SDK JPEG Encoder

We replaced our internal encoder with libjpeg-turbo which reduces the load of the game machine CPU, and help also to reduce the bandwidth. That is just a first step in our optimization efforts to improve the quality of the stream and allowing higher resolution.

New Events Page

We changed how the Events page displays captured event-data. Instead of a log of all triggered events, it is now a table which displays a summary of each event. You can also download the summaries in JSON format.

Better support for many clusters in Terraform page

We’ve added many improvements to help manage multiple clusters: a more responsive page, sorted clusters list, and enabling scrolling when too many clusters are present. More improvements are will be introduces once we get more projects published.

  • [wingame-ami] Fixed a problem with the framerate of the game when the remote screen goes into sleep mode after fifteen minutes.

  • [terraform] Replace the AWS VPC Module in the basic_cluster module that required Git to be installed. We are now using a standard module that can be fetched directly from Terraform Registry.
