Changelog for Upcoming v.5.7.1 Release

This release brings loads of internal improvements, features, user interface enhancements, bug fixes, and more to SSUI.

New Features

• Split Save Configuration: Replaced the outdated SaveInfo field with separate SaveName and WorldID fields, allowing more user centric & flexible configuration of save settings.

  • SaveName now supports spaces for user-friendly naming.
  • Migrates old SaveInfo to new fields automatically. (Saveinfo rework #100)

• New Terrain Settings Interface: Introduced a cleaner, conditionally shown world generation settings page that only appears when using a branch with the new terrain system. Includes validation hints to ensure all required fields are filled. (Update config tab for world get (newterrain) settings  #105)

• Startup Sanity Checks: Added checks for a "sane" environment before startup, including work directory permissions and Docker container detection. (Nightly2main-220925 #94)

• Command-Line Options: Added NoSteamCMD flag for users to skip the SteamCMD initialization / download on startup (use with caution). (Nightly2main-220925 #94)

• Command-Line Options: Added NoSanityCheck flag for users to skip the environment sanity check on startup (use with caution). (Nightly2main-220925 #94)

General Improvements & fixes

• Enhanced Backup Manager: Improved thread-safe initialization and added UUID-based logging for better tracking of backup operations. Removed unnecessary reload messages for clarity. (Enhance backup manager with thread-safe initialization and improved logging #103)
• Updated Terrain System handling: Streamlined terrain selection by relying on the selected game branch, removing the dedicated terrain selection screen for a smoother setup process. Updated Vulcan world ID to Vulcan2 for consistency with current stationeers builds. (Update config tab for world get (newterrain) settings  #105)
• Better UI Feedback: Added validation indicators and improved tooltip styles on the world generation configuration page for a more intuitive experience. (Update config tab for world get (newterrain) settings  #105, #ff6bce9)
• Docker Environment: Refactored Docker support with a "rooted" environment, improved entrypoint scripts, and moved Docker-related files to a .docker directory for better organization. (Shifts Docker container from Rootless to Default Rooted behaviour #89, Nightly2main-220925 #94)
• Logging Enhancements: Improved log levels during startup, added initializing and shutdown debug logs for the global backup manager, and refined logging for setup processes. (Enhance backup manager with thread-safe initialization and improved logging #103)
• Startup Sanity Checks: Added checks for a "sane" environment before startup, including work directory permissions and Docker container detection. (Nightly2main-220925 #94)
• Configuration Cleanup: Removed unused variables from the configuration page and added a feature to automatically migrate legacy SaveInfo data to new variables without saving FileInfo back to config.json. (but instead the 2 new fields are saved to config.json) (Saveinfo rework #100)
• Container Logic: Added container check logic and added IsDockerContainer config variable to allow running as root in Docker containers. (Nightly2main-220925 #94)
• SteamCMD Handling: Set a "fake" HOME environment variable for SteamCMD on Linux to prevent file clutter in the user’s home directory. (#9fe613b)
• Build and Workflow Updates: Fixed Docker context and image naming in GitHub Actions workflows, reverted misnamed Docker tags, and updated build paths for consistency. (#e379d02, #aa93930, #de5a2e2, #c44be33)
• Game Version Detection: Added functionality to extract and store game version in runtime configuration.

Bug Fixes

• ZipSlip Vulnerability: Fixed path traversal issues during archive extraction (restore and SteamCMD install), preventing potential security risks from malicious archives. (Zipslip fix for restore and steamcmd install. #101)
• Docker Pathing and Permissions: Resolved file pathing and permission issues in Docker containers, ensuring consistent behavior when running as root. (Shifts Docker container from Rootless to Default Rooted behaviour #89, Nightly2main-220925 #94)
• Terminal Message Formatting: Corrected indentation in terminal messages for improved readability. (#7bbfdf0, #7c7151b)
• Symlink Issues on Linux: Added working directory setup to handle symlink issues on Linux systems. (#05bd745)
• Wiki Link: Fixed an incorrect wiki link in the documentation. (#8172cfd)
