GameServerManagers/LinuxGSM v26.5.0 on GitHub

Highlights

FastDL: now incremental and parallel, with custom folders and exclusions (#5100).
extraparams: add your own start parameters without overriding startparameters (#4970).
Backups: now include game data kept outside the install folder, such as Project Zomboid's ~/Zomboid (#5129).
PunkBuster: the last PunkBuster release ships for every server that supports it, and it starts on CoD2 and WaW with glibc 2.41 and newer (#5148, #5140).
Monitor: query failures now show the local port state and tell a hung server apart from a port conflict (#5111, #5120).
Output: plain line-based output when stdout is not a terminal (#5117).
Alerts: HTML formatting for Matrix messages, and Matrix and ntfy now show in details (#5087, #5123).
Counter-Strike 2: MatchZy added to mods-install (#5088).

Changes to existing behaviour

These apply automatically.

Game logs: Rust, Core Keeper and Hurtworld now rotate the game log on start, and old rotated logs are removed after logdays (#5135).
FastDL: the directory is kept between runs. The old overwrite prompt is now "Rebuild Fastdl directory from scratch?", and the new fastdlexclude setting defaults to maps/workshop/ on Source servers (#5100).
Backups: can be larger on servers that keep data outside the install folder (#5129).
Unreal Tournament 99: config and logs stay in serverfiles using -nohomedir. Existing inis move there on the next start (#5133).
Craftopia: saves written to a stray folder outside serverfiles move into it on the next start (#5131).
Action Half-Life: now runs on ReHLDS, applied on start, to stop the startup segfault (#5150).
QuakeWorld: installs from qwserver-build releases and gains update and check-update. Existing installs receive an update on the next update, keeping local config files (#5149).
Updates: a second update no longer runs while one is in progress (#5095).
