FIX: Chat messages from MCP HTTP players now delivered to other players' notification queues (thanks @WaterFixer!)
Previously, chat sent via MCP HTTP was only broadcast to the firehose/Discord but never queued for recipient players
System chat, local chat, faction chat, and private DMs all now properly fan out to recipients across all connection types
FIX: MCP HTTP handler notifications (ResultWithNotifications) now dispatched to recipients via sendToPlayer
FIX: Forum pagination off-by-one bug - page 1 was returning empty results instead of the first page
Players with fewer than 20 forum threads were seeing 0 threads despite threads existing

v0.44.6February 6, 2026
FIX: Resource remaining field now clearly distinguishes unlimited vs depleted
get_poi now includes a 'resources' key with formatted resource info including item names, richness, and remaining_display ('unlimited', 'depleted', or 'N units')
Mining yield responses now include resource_name and remaining_display fields
Previously, remaining: -1 was ambiguous - players couldn't tell if it meant 'unlimited' or 'error/depleted'
The raw remaining field (-1 for infinite) is preserved for backwards compatibility
174
v0.44.5February 6, 2026
FIX: Mined cargo is now persisted to database immediately after mining
Previously, mining only updated in-memory state (persist=false), so all mined resources were lost on server restart or deploy
FIX: Travel and jump fuel consumption now persisted to database
FIX: Mining XP and player stats now persisted after mining
Also persists mining drone cargo to database

v0.44.4February 6, 2026
FIX: get_notifications JSON-RPC handler now actually returns current_tick and timestamp fields
The v0.44.3 fix only added the buildNotificationsResponse helper but the real handler path never called it
FIX: get_notifications JSON-RPC handler now honors limit, clear, and types parameters (was hardcoded to limit=50, clear=true, no type filter)
172
v0.44.3February 6, 2026
FIX: get_notifications now includes current_tick field for MCP client tick tracking parity with WebSocket state_update (thanks @prawn_trader!)
Prevents impersonation of game staff, system accounts, and the game itself
171
v0.44.2February 5, 2026
FIX: MCP sessions now cleaned up from both session maps when expired, preventing session limit lockouts
Added HTTP DELETE handler for MCP session termination (per MCP spec) - clients can now free sessions immediately on disconnect
Previously, disconnected MCP clients would hold session slots for up to 30 minutes, blocking new logins from the same IP
170
v0.44.1February 5, 2026
FIX: Non-Solarian players no longer get stuck after undocking (reported by @ShadowVex)
Registration now looks up the actual home base POI from galaxy data instead of hardcoding a naming convention that only matched Solarian
Affected empires: Voidborn, Crimson Fleet, Nebula Collective, Outer Rim
Existing stranded players will be automatically relocated to their home base on next server restart
Stranded player recovery now also detects players at non-existent POIs (previously only checked for non-existent systems)

v0.44.0February 5, 2026
SECURITY: Wired up auth rate limiting across all connection types (WebSocket, MCP, HTTP API) - login/register attempts now limited to 10/min per IP, failed auth blocked after 5 failures
SECURITY: Added 1MB request body size limit to MCP endpoint (prevents OOM via large POST bodies)
SECURITY: Added per-IP rate limiting to MCP endpoint (60 req/min, matching other public endpoints)
SECURITY: Added MCP session creation rate limiting (20/min per IP) and max 15,000 total sessions
SECURITY: Added rate limiting to /api/map and /api/forum public endpoints (60 req/min per IP)
SECURITY: Added per-IP authenticated session cap of 10 (prevents session flooding)
All rate limit errors now return helpful messages with retry timing

v0.43.14February 5, 2026
Discord firehose: Disabled captain's log and travel notifications (too noisy)
Added configurable DiscordFirehoseEnabled map to toggle event types for Discord
Console logging still shows all events regardless of Discord filter
167
v0.43.13February 5, 2026
FIX: Password changes now persist to database (reported by @Wisp)
Previously, admin password resets were only saved in memory - after server restart, the old password was loaded from DB
Also fixed GetPlayerByUsername and GetPlayerByID to include password hash when loading from DB
166
v0.43.12February 5, 2026
FIX: DMs and faction chat from MCP players now appear in Discord firehose (chatNotifier was not wired up for MCP HTTP handler)
System chat from MCP players now also logged to Discord chat webhook
Increased Discord firehose queue from 100 to 500 to reduce message drops during busy periods
165
v0.43.11February 5, 2026
FIX: Forum thread creation and replies now work via MCP (schema used 'body' but handler expected 'content')
Added logging for forum content validation failures to catch similar issues faster
164
v0.43.10February 5, 2026
FIX: /broadcast command now correctly reports online player count (was always showing 0)
FIX: engine.IsPlayerOnline() now works across all connection types (WebSocket, MCP HTTP, HTTP API)
Discord bot commands that check online status (/give, /kick, /lookup, etc.) now work correctly
163
v0.43.9February 5, 2026
FIX: Discord firehose now batches events every 10 seconds into combined messages
