AMP 2.6.5 ‘Phobos’

AMP 2.6.5 is primarily a functional update to add features needed to support the needs of certain games cough-Hytale-cough.

The Store plugin has temporarily been held back so we can get these changes out as it’s not quite ready for use.

In preparation for the store plugin however, the Spiget plugin store from the Minecraft module has been completely removed. It’s functionality will be replaced by the store plugin once that’s ready - but it was necessary to remove this ahead of time.

Release Notes

New Features / Major Changes

• Added ‘Fruitger Aero’ and ‘Frutiger Aero Dark’ themes.
• CreateUser API now creates an OIDC ‘shadow’ user when OIDC authentication is enabled and no password is supplied. This makes it possible to assign permissions to OIDC users who have not yet logged in. (This API change is the reason for the version bump because it’s a behavioural change to an existing endpoint)
• Generic module can now treat the output of update stages as application output so that it can respond to output from update tools that require input to function. (Use case: The Hytale updater)
• Generic module can now handle applications that require the user to visit an URL to authenticate the server or the download process.
• Generic module can now automatically feed input to the server in response to certain events. (Use case: Automatically turning on Auth Persistence for Hytale servers)

Bug Fixes

• The webserver no longer throws an error if an API request is recieved with a completely empty body.
• Fixed certain types of system being mis-detected as running under HyperV
• Fixed metrics not behaving properly in Docker instances due to host.docker.internal not always being present.
• Fixed not being able to add scheduler variables by clicking their names.

Other Changes

• The User Management page no longer has a “Save Changes” button. Changes are saved automatically.
• Added an option for SFTP timeout to avoid issues with idling connections.
• Added detection awareness for nVidia DGX OS.
• AMP instance ID is now exposed to Docker containers for persistence.
• Added permissions filtering for websocket event broadcasts.

Known Issues

• The Minecraft - Paper updater has not yet been updated to use the new API. We’ll have another update for this soon.
