Changelog

0.2.2 — 2026-09-22

• RelayThrottle: two new object classes. FloatingHz (default ∞/5/3) for floating objects that are neither items nor creatures (prefabs with a Floating component: logs, debris), which were unthrottled at any distance and the top uplink talker at a harbour; EffectHz (default 10/5/3) for networked sfx_/vfx_ prefabs (a sound that follows a bird). Floating objects use the item deadband.
• Deadband: a ship with nobody aboard gets its own deadband (MooredShipPosMeters 0.05, MooredShipRotDegrees 2); a ship with a player aboard, players and carts stay untouched. Ship.HasPlayerOnboard is bound once at startup; if it is missing only this part is skipped.
• Items: an item whose item data cannot be read (no data blob) is treated as valuable and never deleted, like enchanted, quality and gear items.
• Telemetry: the stats line gains frames >50ms N >100ms N and gc N heap N MB cpu N% (gen-0 collections in the interval, managed heap, process-wide CPU as a share of one core).
• Text: the Commands boot line names the 11 Triggers section; three leftover feature-key labels removed from a log line and two cfg descriptions.
• README rewritten: short overview, before/after numbers from a live two-player A/B, settings and stats-line details under Advanced, build notes removed; manifest description shortened.

0.2.1 — 2026-09-21

• cfg sections renamed to plain names (02 SendWindow, 03 Scheduler, 04 SteamTransport, 05 RelayThrottle, 06 Priority, 07 Deadband, 08 Telemetry, 09 Items, 10 ItemMerge, 11 Triggers); log tags match. Existing cfg files keep the old sections as orphans and the new ones start at defaults.
• Scheduler credit carries across slow frames (a peer is still served at most once per frame), so a CPU-bound server reaches the configured rate.
• README, comments and cfg text no longer refer to any particular installation.
• MinWindowBytes defaults to 32768.

0.2.0 — 2026-09-21

• Defaults: everything invisible to players is ON (window, scheduler, Steam rate, throttle, priority, deadbands, telemetry); Cleanup and ItemMerge stay OFF. A vanilla baseline was measured first.
• Client uplink throttle measures distance from the nearest loaded player, not just the owner; gentler rates (fish 6/3/2, creature ∞/10/5, item ∞/5/3).
• MinWindowBytes defaults to 16384.
• Unwrap ServerSync's BufferingSocket wrapper to reach the real Steam socket (server-side status, window sizing and per-connection rate apply were inert without it).
• Client-side item merge; hard rule that enchanted / quality / gear items are never deleted.
• ServerTargetFrameRate; cfg Triggers; Steam status and per-connection diagnostics on the stats lines.
• Thunderstore packaging (tools/package.sh).
