sanasol	44834e7d12	Bump version to 2.3.8 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-02-21 23:47:52 +01:00
sanasol	cb7f7e51bf	v2.3.8: auto-update agent from GitHub releases, add dl1 mirror fallback - Agent auto-update: check GitHub releases API for new versions, download only when update available, track version in .version file - Add dl1.htdwnldsan.top as backup-2 mirror in patches config sources - Add dl1.htdwnldsan.top as primary non-Cloudflare mirror - Graceful fallback: use existing agent if update check or download fails Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-02-21 23:31:28 +01:00
sanasol	9b20c454d3	v2.3.7: add non-Cloudflare mirror fallback for blocked regions Users in Russia/Ukraine where Cloudflare IPs are blocked can now download game files via htdwnldsan.top (direct VPS → MEGA redirect). Both manifest fetch and archive downloads try mirrors automatically on ETIMEDOUT/ECONNREFUSED errors. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-02-21 13:21:19 +01:00
sanasol	4e04d657b7	v2.3.6: fix UUID loss during launcher updates Players were losing character data (inventory, armor, backpack) after each launcher update because config.json corruption wiped the UUID mapping. Same username, new UUID = server treats as new player. Fix: UUIDs now stored in separate uuid-store.json that saveConfig() can never touch. Added safety check to refuse destructive writes when config file exists but loads empty. Includes 28 regression tests.
