🔩 Maintenance Minima

This release minimizes some of the code related to Redis Streams processing (#232).

We duplicated the MIT License used in the upstream Sabaki project into our local "browser" folder.

🧠 the stickybrain

the stickybrain

This release makes the tinybrain sticky: if its botlink counterpart goes offline, tinybrain will faithfully attempt to reconnect, for as long as necessary (#247). Using a small systemd script, tinybrain will also start-up automatically whenever its home location has power (#234)

maintenance log

This release also cleans up some redis streams code (#294), optimizes Dockerfiles to use fewer build caches (#296), and makes a fix to the packer scripts (#295).

🦟 Bugfix Friday

Bugfix Friday

• Fixes a bug in the synchronization system (#285)
• Fixes an issue where duplicated move made events can cause the player to see a "Your opponent passed" dialog twice in a row (#279, #286)

🧯Prevent idle player from passing

You can no longer hang the game by passing when it isn't your turn (#277).

📥 Sync browser with service layer

Description

This release solves a difficult-to-reproduce deadlock state reported in #136. It fixes favicon.ico rendering in (at least) Firefox mobile/android (#169).

Sync Flow

We introduce a REQSYNC / SYNCREPLY flow which allows the client to reconcile its state with the service layer under the following circumstances:

• client is ahead of the service layer by one move (in which case the service layer issues a MAKEMOVE command on behalf of the client)
• service layer is ahead of the client by one move (in which case the client accepts the missed move from the service layer)

Miscellany

This release adds several system administration scripts (advancing #176).

⛑️ Fix multiplayer crash

This release resolves a multiplayer crash condition uncovered in #228, and touches up various documentation.

💈 Remove connection pool clones

This is a maintenance release which removes unnecessary clones of Redis connection pools across various services (#209).
