Files included in this release:

• BeamMP-Server.exe is the windows build
• BeamMP-Server-linux is a ubuntu build, so you need the dependencies listed in README.md to run it. For any other distros please build from source as described in README.md.

Changelog:

• Linux Lua plugins fixed
• boost no longer a runtime dependency.
• fix console history on Windows - you can now press up- and down-arrow keys to go through your command history.
• changed config file from Server.cfg to ServerConfig.toml, using the TOML format. Documentation at https://wiki.beammp.com/en/home/server-maintenance.

v2.0.4 (v2.1.0 pre-release)

v2.0.3

Changelog:

• Workaround for the (rare-ish) timeout bug which leads to ghost players (players which show up on the player list but aren't actually in!). This doesn't properly fix it and one of the next versions will likely have a fix.

• No more server-commandline 100% CPU spin when run in the background on Linux/Unix, aka when stdin is /dev/null.

v2.0.2

Files included in this release:

• BeamMP-Server.exe is the windows build

Since this is going to be the public v2.0, here's the changelog for the entire v2.0.x up to this point:

Changelog BeamMP-Server v2.0

Short Changelog:

• ADDED fully new commandline
• ADDED new backend
• ADDED automated build system
• ADDED lua GetPlayerIdentifiers
• ADDED lots of debug info
• ADDED better POSTing and GETing
• ADDED a license
• FIXED ghost players in player list issue
• FIXED ghost vehicle after joining issue
• FIXED missing vehicle after joining issue
• FIXED a lot of desync issues
• FIXED some memory leaks
• FIXED various crashes
• FIXED various data-races
• FIXED some linux-specific crashes
• FIXED some linux-specific issues
• FIXED bug which caused kicking to be logged as leaving
• FIXED various internal developer quality-of-life things

Long Changelog:

• ghost player fix:
  This fixes the issue of players appearing in a server's player list long
  after leaving. Now, when a player times out, the server detects this and
  kicks the player.

• rewrote commandline interface:
  The commandline (> ...) in the server has been rewritten from scratch.
  This fixes various bugs and issues with the old implementation, and should
  be less resource intensive and more platform compatible.

• rewrote entire structure to consistently use RAII:
  The server now uses OOP almost everywhere, and uses RAII consistently. This
  fixes some memory leaks, increases stability and fixes various crashes.

• new backend:
  This new server connects to the new backend, which is built to be much
  more stable, reliable and fast. This fixes various issues.

• use new http POST + GET:
  Together with the new backend, this ensures a more consistent experience
  when heartbeating, authenticating, etc.

• change heartbeat behavior:
  The heartbeat, which sends basic server-list relevant info to the backend,
  will now send less frequently (30s) when nothing is actually happening on
  the server.

• invisible cars, ghost cars fix - packet queuing on sync:
  This fixes issues with invisible cars, seeing cars that were already deleted,
  and other "desync" issues.
  When joining a server, the server and launcher synchronize. This includes
  loading the map, mods, etc. As this can take a while, packets arriving while
  this happens will get queued up server-side, and sent to the client once
  they're fully connected.

• print player names + id in debug mode:
  When in debug mode, the server will now tell you the name and id of the
  player a packet is coming from. This can help us debug any issues you may
  have with your server.

• automated build system:
  Less important for players, but very nice for us devs - builds are now
  automated, which helps us work together and identify issues with
  dependencies and the workflow on multiple platforms.

• streamline multithreading:
  Also less relevant for players, other than fixing some very rare crashes.
  Any multithreaded code will now attempt to properly start and terminate in
  the correct order.

• lots of new debug info:
  This will help us debug your server if something goes wrong! Just turn on
  debug more in the Server.cfg.

• lua got a new function: GetPlayerIdentifiers(id):
  Returns a table of known identifiers for the given player.
  Note that the server-side lua is going to be rewritten completely in one
  of the next updates, so many fixes and additions are coming up!

• other various developer quality-of-life improvements:
  Next to the server's rewrite, we moved more code to modern C++,
  streamlined and did some performance improvements.

Pre-Release v2.0.1

Early access release, don't use (yet).

Files included in this release:

• BeamMP-Server.exe is the windows build
• BeamMP-Server-linux is a ubuntu build, so you need the dependencies listed in README.md to run it. For any other distros please build from source as described in README.md.

v1.20 - Linux Release

Finally a (debian) linux release!

It will only run on Debian 10 stable.

You will need to install all dependencies listed in the README. For your convenience, you can use this command to install them all in one go:

apt install liblua5.3 libz-dev rapidjson-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

You will have to set executable permissions on the file before running it, like so:

chmod +x BeamMP-Server-debian

If you encounter issues, try updating & upgrading your system.

In the future, linux releases will be bundled with the regular releases on this github. In this case I made a new release since it required some manual intervention.

v1.20
