This is the 1.34.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we've upgraded Kubernetes compatibility, graduated StateAllocationFilter to stable, and enhanced GameServers and GameServerAllocation address support.

  • 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.

  • Custom Fleet Autoscaler Synchronization Interval is now Stable: The ability to specify the interval in which the Fleet autoscaler syncs its state and updates its backing Fleet has now also been moved to Stable.

  • GameServer Address Improvements: GamesServers and GameServerAllocation results now also return the full set of Address records that are attached to the node they came from. This can be useful for dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 nodes, nodes with hostnames and more.

  • Migrating to Distroless Image: We have migrated from Alpine as the base container image for Agones to Distroless making managing consistent updates to the base image easier for the Agones team.

v1.33.0

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.
