This update paves the way for the migration to a better server.
Features
Migration
Migration is not really a feature. But to achieve it, a lot of backend work has been done:
- Login server on a different VPS with encrypted communication with realm
- Realm services running in docker containers instead of running as a single executable
- Backup/restore scripts for dockerized realms
- Backup/restore scripts for login server
The migration will hopefully go smooth, and you will be able to access the Wolfery realm as usual at wolfery.com.
But while the DNS entries are being updated, you can also reach the new Wolfery realm at mucklet.wolfery.com
Client version check
We now have a correct client version check:
But didn’t we already have that, you ask? Yes, but it only checked the API version. The new features lets the client instead check if a new client version exist, which allows for completely separate API and client updates.
Improvements
Increased log duration
The duration for which character chat logs are held in memory on the server has been increased from 2 hours to 24 hours. That means, when switching to another device, the client can fetch chat log events up to 24 hours back.
After 24 hours, the log entries are evicted from memory.
