SFS2X Patch 2.20.5 is available!

We have released SFS2X update 2.20.5 which adds the ability to extract custom http headers for websocket or BlueBox connected clients. This can be useful for gathering statistical data, identifying potential spammers or to consult custom headers when running behind a reverse proxy such as Cloudflare, CloudFront and similar.

You can find more details on the new feature in our docs website.

Also, you can find the full release notes and download the patch from our Updates download section.

SFS2X Patch 2.20.3 is available!

We have just released update 2.20.3 which brings a Tomcat security update and introduces a new feature to protect locally stored Admin passwords as hashes.

You can read the full release notes and download the patch from our Updates download section.
Also, you can read more info about the password protection feature here.

There is also a small update for the Java client API (1.8.4) introducing a TCP timeout parameter in the ConfigData object. This allows to let the BlueBox trigger earlier, where needed. You can find the details in our Client API download section.

SmartFoxServer 2.20.2 and API updates

We have just released update 2.20.2 which introduces a couple of fixes, in particular it adds support for multi-byte strings in SFSObject keys.

You can read the full release notes and download the patch from our Updates download section.

Similarly we have updated our Java and Javascript client API to reflect these changes.
You can find them in the relative Client API download section.

p.s. = the other client APIs already support this feature correctly, so no update was necessary.

SmartFoxServer 2.20.1 is out!

We have recently released update 2.20.1 which introduces several fixes, one in particular with the License Server module where a missing error detection would not trigger the “grace period” under specific circumstances.

We highly recommend that you download and apply the latest patch to address the problem described. The patch is also available for older versions, starting from SFS2X 2.12.0.

Small API Update for all client platforms

We have just released a small update for our client API, which addresses the caching of UserVariables when users enter and leave multiple Rooms. A recent bug submission has pointed to a specific situation in which a UserVariable would remain in the cache, potentially wasting some memory.
