googleforgames/agones v1.42.0 on GitHub

This is the 1.42.0 release of Agones.

In this release we’ve added support for Kubernetes Security Contexts for all Agones containers, updated our documentation, and moved work forward on In-place Agones Upgrades and Scheduled Autoscalers.

Note: In this release we also removed the ConnectAsync method from the C# SDK, since it wasn’t providing any functionality for several releases. There’s no need to upgrade SDK’s at this time, but be aware that if you do, this function call will need to be removed from your code.

Enhanced Security Context in Agones Containers:
Security enhancements have been implemented in the Agones Helm chart to support configuring runAsUser, runAsGroup, and allowPrivilegeEscalation for core components (controller, extensions, ping, allocator), ensuring secure container operations. Additionally, default security configurations have been hardcoded into the game server sidecar template, enhancing overall container security.
Documentation Enhancements:
We updated the client sdk page to include that Counters and Lists have been implemented in the Node.js SDK. Additionally, clarification has been provided that the UpdateList REST documentation, specifically for how this pertains to the Local SDK Server.
