Dimensions v5.10.0-beta.1

No breaking changes are expected in this release.

This beta release will be upgraded to a full release (with no further changes, except the master branch being updated) if no problems are found within a period of time following this release's publish date.

Features

• Dimension names w/ capital letters are now supported. Contributed by @Moneylover3246 in #84
• Dimensions can be labelled as hidden to not show up in the dimensions list. Contributed by @EMREOYUN in #82
• Each server in the config no longer needs a port to expose specified. This means you can provide ports only for servers you intend people to join directly by port. #89
• Added a new config option to prevent the client from changing its name, this ensures that throughout a single session the player name is the same. An exclusion list is provided to allow specific dimensions to change the player name from the server-side. #90
• Game kick messages now use localisation. Contributed by @Arthri in #92
• Servers in the config now have a vanilla option to allow vanilla servers to be used with dimensions. #58
• The currentTerrariaVersion config option has been removed. Dimensions now uses the version the client specifies. #98
• Added support for using a separate extensions js file that contains all of the extension classes to use - this is intended for bundled deployments where dimensions core is bundled together with plugins into one single js file. You can (for example) use this to build a small docker image for dimensions.
• Server version used by the REST API now supports reading from a version.txt in the working directory per request, meaning you can easily update the reported supported version
• REST API now supports additional options in the config: name, worldName, terrariaServerPort, hasServerPassword, maxPlayers and version
• REST API default version is now 1.4.3.6

Fixes

• Fixed issue when parsing strings of exactly 128 characters
• Added parsing of playerCountForMultipliayerDifficultyOverride and strengthMultipler to fix NPC update parsing
