January 26th, 2021SFS 2X 2.17.0 is available!

We have just released SmartFoxServer 2X 2.17.0, codenamed “Flash Farewell” as we have cut the remaining ties with the old Flash-based Admin Tool.

It seems that many users forgot about the termination of Adobe Flash on Jan. 12th 2021 and have found themselves unable to reach their servers with the legacy Admin Tool. This release is particularly targeted at those users, as it packs all the recent updates in one installer.
