BYOND 5.0 Version 505 Release Notes

Features (More Info)

Dream Daemon

When turf appearances updated, they caused an entire map refresh for anyone in view, which was slow and used more bandwidth. Newer servers will send more streamlined updates to new clients, which can result in large improvements in cases where turfs are changed frequently.

Dream Daemon & Dream Seeker

Threading is re-enabled by default in this beta version. All thread settings are now in daemon.txt, rather than also being in seeker.txt for Dream Seeker. Set "threads off" to disable threading, and "map-threads off" to disable only the map threading.
