Blog: 1.18.0 - gRPC compatibility fix, RollingUpdateOnReady to stable, SDKGracefulTermination in alpha

Tue, 12 Oct 2021 00:00:00 +0000

This is the v1.18.0 release of Agones.

This release fixes a gRPC compatibility issue in the allocator service introduced in Agones 1.11.0. If you have a gRPC client that does not work with the allocator server, you can now disable the REST server or set it to a different port for better client compatibility.

The RollingUpdateOnReady feature has graduated to stable! And the new alpha feature SDKGracefulTermination makes Agones work better with preemptible VMs.

Note: Some helm parameters related to the allocator service were renamed to make them more consistent. In particular, if you were setting the agones.allocator.http.loadBalancerIP so that helm would automatically set up the server certificate, the parameter has been renamed to agones.allocator.service.loadBalancerIP. If you were setting this or any other parameters for the allocator service please check your helm scripts and ensure that you are using the new parameters.

Check the README for details on features, installation and usage.

Breaking changes:

Allow the ports for gRPC and REST to be configured for the allocator service #2272 (roberthbailey)
Changed helm parameters used to configure the allocator service #2272 (roberthbailey)

Implemented enhancements:

Skip volume mounts in the allocator pod if TLS on mTLS is disabled #2276

Docs: High Density Integration Pattern #2270 (markmandel)
Docs: Integration Pattern - Reusing GameServers #2251 (markmandel)

The helm parameters for setting the service account names were modified to make them more consistent. If you are setting these names you will need to modify your helm scripts to use the new parameters.

Blog: 1.12.0 - Improved GameServer Validation

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +0000

This is the 1.12.0 release of Agones.

A few things to note in this release:

The GameServer CRD now includes the full PodTemplateSpec json schema, to provide better up-front validation. This should be entirely backward compatible, but in case you run into issues, the helm configuration option gameservers.podPreserveUnknownFields is available to disable validation and field pruning.
- If you are using Helm, you might need to update your Helm version and/or do a clean install to apply this update to your cluster if you already have a version of Agones installed, due to the size of the CRD update.
SDKWatchSendOnExecute has been moved to Beta, so by default you will get a copy of the most recent GameServer information with your initial SDK.WatchGameServer(...) request.
The ability to apply port allocation to multiple containers has moved from Beta to Stable!

Check the README for details on features, installation and usage.

Breaking changes:

This is the 1.11.0 release of Agones.

This release includes several breaking changes, that include:

Upgrade supported Kubernetes version to 1.17

The documentation on creating SSL certificates for Fleet autoscaling webhooks has been updated to include instructions on including a SAN in the certificate, and has been tested to work on the current version of Agones as well.

Check the README for details on features, installation and usage.
