Release notes

What changed, and when.

Recent releases across the range, summarised in plain words. Version numbers and dates come from the published release notes.

Only the most recent releases are listed here. The full history lives in the release repositories.

No release rhythm is promised: a version ships when it is ready.

  1. 1.14.0 Current version

    • The Plugins page used to describe your files, and therefore what should happen.
    • Each plugin reports its last start. Loaded, turned off in its own file, invalid or unreadable info file, engine too old, entry point not found, crashed during its own start-up, or missing…
    • The case that made the page lie is fixed. A plugin that looked perfect on disk but collapsed while initialising was still shown as healthy. Not any more.
  2. 1.13.1

    • A fix for a confusing regression reported right after 1.13.0.
    • Your server window was gone. With "Start this server with PalApi" ticked, no console window opened any more.
    • Why it happened. The manager has always asked the program it starts not to open a window.
  3. 1.13.0

    • The Plugins page no longer stops at "is the PalApi engine installed?".
    • Every installed plugin is listed. Name, version, folder, and what it requires.
    • No empty promises. As long as "Start this server with PalApi" is unticked, or the engine is not installed, no line claims a plugin will load.
  4. 1.12.0

    • Server plugins: install the PalApi engine and let your server actually load them.
    • New "Plugins" section for each server. It installs, updates, repairs or removes the PalApi plugin engine in one click, the same way the other server add-ons are handled.
    • A checkbox: "Start this server with PalApi". Without it, plugins sit on the disk and never start — this is the trap that silently affected servers with plugins installed.
  5. 1.11.3

    • The app no longer locks up behind a pile of error windows: one is shown at a time, the rest go to the log.
    • The cause is gone — the event watcher no longer queries the database when no event is running.
    • Rolling back an expired event is retried on the next pass instead of being abandoned when the write fails.

Bastion Service

Free launcher
Download
  1. 2.0.0 Current version

    • First official release of the launcher.
    • The launcher and its three modules now share one version number and ship together.
    • Modules are added from the built-in store once the launcher is installed.
  2. 1.0.10

    • Checking for updates with no network access used to show nothing at all: the launcher now reports the failure, in the same place as on the other screens.
    • The home screen says when release notes could not be read, instead of suggesting no version was ever released.
    • With nothing installed yet, the screen no longer offers to check updates for products you do not have: it points to the store.

  2. 1.0.9

    • Internal housekeeping: nothing changes on screen.
    • The plugin's French and English wording moves to the same place as the other products', where an automated check compares them.
    • The product's two largest files were split into readable pieces; the screen shown is identical down to the character.

Two doors, same as everywhere else on the site

The launcher installs and updates the Palworld and ARK modules. Palworld Server Manager installs separately and updates from inside the app.
