v2026.3.31.3 (2026-03-31)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: resolve slow UI updates for non-host players (#121) (#125)
  Three fixes for non-host responsiveness:
  1. LeaveSession now calls UpdateUI() after clearing state, so the
     leaver's UI immediately reflects the exit instead of showing stale
     lobby data.
  2. HandleSessionUpdate re-applies local spec overrides after rebuilding
     the player list from host data. This prevents in-flight SESSION_UPDATE
     messages from reverting spec changes the non-host just made. Also
     clears joinPending when the local player appears in the host's player
     list (implicit ACK), avoiding false "may not have been received"
     warnings.
  3. JOIN_ACK timeout increased from 5s to 10s to accommodate
     ChatThrottleLib delays in larger lobbies.

v2026.3.31.2

Wheelson

v2026.3.31.2 (2026-03-31)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: compact group broadcast to prevent dropped messages (#122) (#124)
  • fix: use compact group serialization to prevent dropped messages for large groups (#122)
    AceComm splits messages into 255-byte chunks for GUILD channel, and
    with 10+ players the full GROUP serialization creates 2-4KB+ messages
    where chunk loss silently prevents delivery. Non-hosts never receive
    the SPINNING/COMPLETED state transition and stay stuck in the lobby.
    Three complementary changes:
  • Send only player names in group data (compactGroups), reconstructing
    full Player objects on the receiver from the already-transmitted
    player list. ~80% reduction in group payload size.
  • Re-send SPINNING broadcast after 2s delay when multiple groups exist,
    providing redundancy against initial message loss.
  • Guard CompleteSession() broadcast behind IsHost() check so non-hosts
    don't waste bandwidth broadcasting state they didn't originate.

  • fix: omit redundant player data from SPINNING/COMPLETED broadcasts
    SESSION_UPDATE messages for SPINNING/COMPLETED now only include the
    status delta (compact groups), omitting the player list, community map,
    and removedPlayers that the receiver already has from the LOBBY phase.
    This reduces the critical state-transition message from ~1.5KB to ~200
    bytes (a single AceComm chunk), virtually eliminating dropped messages.
    Also removes the unused playerCount field from all SESSION_UPDATE
    messages, and ensures SESSION_QUERY responses and /reload restores
    always send the full state via the new fullSync parameter.
    Closes #122

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• fix: accept accented characters in community roster name validation (#120)
  The ValidateCommunityName pattern used %a which only matches ASCII
  letters, rejecting valid WoW names with accented characters (e.g.
  Müzaka). Extend the character class with \128-\255 to match non-ASCII
  UTF-8 bytes.
