Discord server was DMCA'd. All Discord links replaced with:
- Community Chat (Stoat): chat.sanhost.net
- Telegram Channel: @hf2p_og
- Telegram Group: @sanhostnet
Launcher UI: added community links on main screen, renamed
Discord nav to Community Chat, updated popup modal.

Fix pre-release downloads failing with "unexpected EOF" by validating
cached PWR file sizes against manifest expected sizes. Previously only
checked > 1MB which accepted truncated files. Also update Discord
invite link to new server across all files.

- Add pacman target to electron-builder Linux build
- Upload .pacman packages to release
- FORGEJO_UPLOAD now uses repository secret
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Move FORGEJO_UPLOAD URL from hardcoded value to ${{ secrets.FORGEJO_UPLOAD_URL }}
to avoid exposing server IP when repo goes public.

- FORGEJO_UPLOAD now uses http://208.69.78.130:3001 (plain HTTP direct to Forgejo)
- Removed -sk flags and Host headers (not needed for plain HTTP)
- Added --max-time 600 for large file uploads
- Cloudflare 100MB limit and Traefik HTTP/2 stream errors both bypassed
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Without Host header, Traefik routes direct IP requests to the
default backend (hytale-auth) instead of Forgejo.

ELECTRON_BUILDER_SKIP_NATIVE_REBUILD env var not recognized by
electron-builder 26.6.0. Use --config.npmRebuild=false CLI flag
to skip register-scheme native module rebuild.

Cloudflare runners can't reach direct IP. Split into two env vars:
- FORGEJO_API (domain) for release creation and ID lookups
- FORGEJO_UPLOAD (direct IP) for large file uploads >100MB
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use direct server IP for Forgejo API calls to avoid Cloudflare
proxy rejecting large file uploads (413 Payload Too Large).
macOS DMG/ZIP artifacts are ~350MB each.

* fix: resolve cross-platform EPERM permissions errors
modManager.js:
- Switch from hardcoded 'junction' to dynamic symlink type based on OS (fixing Linux EPERM).
- Add retry logic for directory removal to handle file locking race conditions.
- Improve broken symlink detection during profile sync.
gameManager.js:
- Implement retry loop (3 attempts) for game directory removal in updateGameFiles to prevent EBUSY/EPERM errors on Windows.
paths.js:
- Prevent fs.mkdirSync failure in getModsPath by pre-checking for broken symbolic links.
* fix: missing pacman builds
* prepare release for 2.1.1
minor fix for EPERM error permission
* prepare release 2.1.1
minor fix EPERM permission error
* prepare release 2.1.1
* Update README.md Windows Prequisites for ARM64 builds
* fix: remove broken symlink after detected
* fix: add pathexists for paths.js to check symlink
* fix: isbrokenlink should be true to remove the symlink
* add arch package .pkg.tar.zst for release
* fix: release workflow for build-arch and build-linux
* build-arch job now only build arch .pkg.tar.zst package instead of the whole generic linux.
* build-linux job now exclude .pacman package since its deprecated and should not be used.
* fix: removes pacman build as it replaced by tar.zst and adds build:arch shortcut for pkgbuild
* aur: add proper VCS (-git) PKGBUILD
created clean VCS-based PKGBUILD following arch packaging conventions.
this explicitly marked as a rolling (-git) build and derives its version dynamically from git tags and commit history via pkgver(). previous hybrid approach has been changed.
key changes:
- use -git suffix to clearly indicate rolling source builds
- set pkgver=0 and compute the actual version via pkgver()
- build only a directory layout using electron-builder (--dir)
- avoid generating AppImage, deb, rpm, or pacman installers
- align build and package steps with Arch packaging guidelines
note: this PKGBUILD is intended for development and AUR use only and is not suitable for binary redistribution or release artifacts.
* ci: add fixed-version PKGBUILD for Arch Linux releases
this PKGBUILD intended for CI and GitHub release artifacts. targets tagged releases only and uses a fixed pkgver that matches the corresponding git tag. all of the VCS logic has been removed to PKGBUILD-git to ensure reproducible builds and stable versioning suitable for binary distribution.
the build process relies on electron-builder directory output (--dir) and packages only the unpacked application into a standard Arch Linux package (.pkg.tar.zst). other distro format are excluded from this path and handled separately.
this change establishes a clear separation between:
- rolling AUR development builds (-git)
- CI-generated, versioned Arch Linux release packages
the result is predictable artifact naming, correct version alignment, and Arch-compliant packaging for downstream users.

* Update README.md
* chore: add offline-mode warning to the README.md
* chore: add downloads counter in README.md
* fix: Steam Deck/Ubuntu crash - use system libzstd.so
The bundled libzstd.so is incompatible with glibc 2.41's stricter heap
validation, causing "free(): invalid pointer" crashes.
Solution: Automatically replace bundled libzstd.so with system version
on Linux. The launcher detects and symlinks to /usr/lib/libzstd.so.1.
- Auto-detect system libzstd at common paths (Arch, Debian, Fedora)
- Backup bundled version as libzstd.so.bundled
- Create symlink to system version
- Add HYTALE_NO_LIBZSTD_FIX=1 to disable if needed
