Technology Stack Upgrade and More

What have we been working on?

This morning we pushed a lot of upgrades to all servers. We’ve been testing these upgrades on Pi and Centra for a couple of weeks. While these upgrades don’t include any new features, they should bring increased performance, reliability and security. Furthermore, these upgrades allow us to use the latest JavaScript language features in TagPro, which we will take advantage of in the massive undertaking of moving to a single world joiner over the coming months.

A handy competitive settings button has been added to the group page for leagues.

A rewrite of modtools continues, but was dependent on the new tech stack. We hope to start testing these soon now that the upgrades are rolled out.

There were some bugs with Kongregate that have been addressed.

The refresh penalty in private games was reduced to 5 seconds.

Rewrote the bot that sends in-game information to moderators in slack.

What’s next on the agenda?

Most of attention will now be turned towards the single world joiner and finishing the modtools rewrite. We’ll be adding a flair stream to the home page soon. And of course, I will take a break off those to bring you a birthday event.
