Beacon v2.0.4

2.0.4 - Update Checker Compatibility Hotfix - 2026-10-13

• Added Beacon's CurseForge project ID to the standalone manifest so update checkers can identify its project without a manual mapping.
• Keep the project ID configured during Gradle manifest generation.

Beacon v2.0.3

2.0.3 - Player Ready Performance Hotfix - 2026-10-04

• Removed mod archive discovery from player-ready handling to reduce join and world-transfer stalls. Discovery runs during startup, including for standby Beacon providers.

• Reduced consent review checks to one file read per check instead of rereading it for each reviewed project.

• Added Hytale Update 7 compatibility, including the 0.7.0-pre.4 pre-release, while retaining Update 5 and Update 6 support.

Beacon v2.0.2

2.0.2 - UI Texture Hotfix - 2026-09-11

Fixed

• Reduced the consent and report header texture's pixel area by 97.6% to save
  UI atlas space while preserving its decorative corners and borders.

Beacon v2.0.1

2.0.1 - Consent Menu Hotfix - 2026-09-05

Fixed

• The consent menu's Enabled checkbox now switches all supported telemetry
  types in its row on or off and stays checked while any type is selected.
• Selecting a telemetry type re-enables a disabled project. Turning off the
  final selected type disables the project, including changes made through
  the column-wide controls.
• Projects without telemetry types retain their project-level Enabled toggle.
• Centered the Beacon icon artwork in the consent menu.

Beacon v2.0.0

2.0.0 - Beacon Rename - 2026-09-01

Breaking

• Renamed the runtime, standalone mod, and hosted product to Beacon. The
  namespace changed from com.alechilles.alecstelemetry to
  com.alechilles.beacon; there is no namespace compatibility layer.
• Renamed Maven and Gradle coordinates to beacon-parent, beacon-runtime,
  and beacon. The Maven repository is now
  https://beacon.modstats.io/maven/releases.
• Renamed the Hytale dependency from Alechilles:Alec's Telemetry! to
  Alechilles:Beacon.
• Renamed conventional descriptors from Server/Telemetry/project.json to
  Server/Beacon/project.json, and namespaced descriptors from
  META-INF/alecs-telemetry/projects/ to META-INF/beacon/projects/.
• Kept the old conventional and namespaced descriptor paths as deprecated
  fallbacks. The Beacon path wins when both forms are present.
• Updated embedded bootstrap imports and packaging to the Beacon namespace.
  Embedded consumers must still publish the runtime Common/** asset pack.
• Renamed /telemetry to /beacon and its permission prefix to
  beacon.command.beacon. There is no command alias.
• Changed the hosted origin to https://beacon.modstats.io. The
  /ingest/crash, /ingest/event, and /ingest/report route names remain.
• Kept the hosted/self project ID and public stats route alecs-telemetry so
  existing project history and local consent state remain attached to the same
  identity. The project display name is now Beacon.
• Changed the canonical local data root to
  mods/Alechilles_Beacon/. The first Beacon startup performs a copy-only
  migration from known Alec-created roots, keeps old sources, and uses Beacon
  destinations when both copies exist.

See the Beacon 2.0 migration guide
before upgrading a consumer or embedded mod.

Alec's Telemetry! v1.3.0

1.3.0 - Diagnostic Bundles - 2026-08-30

Added

• Added a general project API for bounded diagnostic bundles with opaque text or
  binary attachments.
• Added automatic issue grouping through a project-defined stable fingerprint.

Changed

• Diagnostic bundles use the normal hosted event route and local event queue.
  They remain separate from player-written manual reports and review workflows.
• Diagnostic bundles use the independent diagnostics consent category, shown
  as Diag. Diagnostics is off by default unless a descriptor explicitly sets
  defaultEnabled: true; Error events consent does not enable or disable it.
  Bundles still reject attributes that are nested or exceed the bounded scalar
  limits.

Alec's Telemetry! v1.2.3

1.2.3 - Runtime Version Stamp Hotfix - 2026-08-30

Fixed

• Maven and shaded hosts now report the concrete runtime version.

Alec's Telemetry! v1.2.2

1.2.2 - Stable 0.6 Compatibility Hotfix - 2026-08-27

Changed

• Updated the embedded Creditor library to 1.1.1 for stable Hytale 0.6 support.

Fixed

• Corrected the embedded-runtime packaging guide and example manifest so hosts
  publish the Telemetry Common/** UI assets required by /telemetry consent.

Alec's Telemetry! v1.2.1

1.2.1 - Upload Scheduler Hotfix - 2026-08-14

Changed

• Telemetry uploads now run on isolated virtual threads instead of Hytale's
  shared scheduler. Slow upload responses no longer delay unrelated scheduled
  server tasks.
• Updated the privacy policy to describe anonymous ModStats chart-view and
  refresh events.

Fixed

• Coordinated shutdown with active uploads to prevent duplicate delivery
  attempts and lingering upload tasks during runtime handoff.
• Corrected the standalone Telemetry credit asset key so its logo resolves in
  the credits UI.

Alec's Telemetry! v1.2.0

1.2.0 - Passive Descriptor Projects - 2026-08-12

Added

• Embedded libraries can declare a namespaced telemetry project descriptor
  without packaging or calling the Telemetry runtime. An installed standalone
  or embedded runtime discovers the project and reports consented Stats
  heartbeats for it.
• An active contribution can upgrade the same passive project with more
  telemetry categories. New categories stay disabled until the player reviews
  them, and the player receives an in-game review notice.
• Added logical project versions, descriptor hashes, source provenance, and a
  manual host fixture for passive descriptor validation.

Changed

• Passive descriptors expose Stats only until an active contribution supplies
  more capabilities. Duplicate copies use owner, project version, source, and
  host data to elect one logical project.
• Telemetry discovery refreshes after all server plugins load. Descriptor-only
  projects are available before a player joins.
• Hytale administrators can use the Telemetry commands without a separate
  Telemetry permission assignment.

Fixed

• Preserved saved consent overrides when a passive project later becomes an
  active contribution.
• Rejected conflicting owner identities and invalid contribution descriptor
  hashes before project election.
• Kept Telemetry commands registered while projects refresh, and detected
  command registration failures instead of reporting a false success.
• Preserved enum detail allowlists when descriptors move through the embedded
  contribution bridge. This prevents valid contributions from blocking runtime
  activation and making all /telemetry commands unavailable.
