# Changelog

Changes are listed newest first, with an independent version for every individual
T5/T6 script and each native plugin. Current versions are recorded in
[versions.json](versions.json); see the [version policy](README.md#versioning).

## 2026-10-12

### Initial versioning baseline

Established independent version `1.0.0` entries for each of the 14 scripts and
both plugins from source commit
`b508b6739b185d5048e8a8f96ccb16e429f1d37a`. This records the existing source state;
earlier changes remain in Git history without retroactively assigned versions.
The baseline introduces `versions.json`, this changelog, the README links and
version policy, and the maintenance rules in `AGENTS.md`. It changes no game
script or plugin behavior and requires no deployment by itself.

The component entries below summarize the existing functionality and deployment
requirements for servers adopting this baseline. Version assignment does not
indicate that a Windows build, live-game validation, or deployment was performed.

### T5 script baselines

Each row is a separately versioned script under `t5/scripts/`.

| Script | Version | Existing functionality |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `tws_t5_afk.gsc` | `1.0.0` | AFK toggle, protection, and indicator |
| `tws_t5_common.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Shared configuration, helpers, commands, and player dispatchers |
| `tws_t5_hud.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Timers, zombie count, and health display |
| `tws_t5_join.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Immediate join for newcomers |
| `tws_t5_leaderboard.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Map record announcements and `.leaders` command |
| `tws_t5_lock.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Lobby lock at the configured round milestone |
| `tws_t5_telemetry.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Game reports, durable boundary retries, balance and cumulative score |

- Compatibility: these initial script versions use `tws_t5_common.gsc` `1.0.0`;
  lobby lock also needs `tws_t5_hud.gsc` `1.0.0`. Telemetry and leaderboard use
  TWS T5 plugin `1.0.0`. Telemetry additionally requires
  Electric Cherry's match/sequence deduplication and `score_total` support;
  follow the [receiver and plugin rollout order](README.md#telemetry-delivery-and-rollout-t5-and-t6).
  Disabling telemetry by dvar does not remove its native linking requirements.
- Deployment: follow the [T5 installation/upgrade instructions](t5/scripts/README.md#install--upgrade),
  copy the desired scripts and their required dependencies to
  `storage/t5/scripts/sp/`, and restart the map.
  Installing or updating the required plugin needs a full server-process restart.

### T6 script baselines

Each row is a separately versioned script under `t6/scripts/`, adapted to T6 APIs
and map variants.

| Script | Version | Existing functionality |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `tws_t6_afk.gsc` | `1.0.0` | AFK toggle, protection, and indicator |
| `tws_t6_common.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Shared configuration, helpers, commands, and player dispatchers |
| `tws_t6_hud.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Timers, zombie count, and health display |
| `tws_t6_join.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Immediate join for newcomers |
| `tws_t6_leaderboard.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Map record announcements and `.leaders` command |
| `tws_t6_lock.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Lobby lock at the configured round milestone |
| `tws_t6_telemetry.gsc` | `1.0.0` | Game reports, durable boundary retries, balance and cumulative score |

- Compatibility: these initial script versions use `tws_t6_common.gsc` `1.0.0`;
  lobby lock also needs `tws_t6_hud.gsc` `1.0.0`. Telemetry and leaderboard use
  TWS T6 plugin `1.0.0`. Telemetry additionally requires
  Electric Cherry's match/sequence deduplication and `score_total` support;
  follow the [receiver and plugin rollout order](README.md#telemetry-delivery-and-rollout-t5-and-t6).
  Disabling telemetry by dvar does not remove its native linking requirements.
- Deployment: follow the [T6 installation instructions](t6/scripts/README.md#install),
  copy the desired scripts and their required dependencies to
  `storage/t6/scripts/zm/`, and restart the map.
  Installing or updating the required plugin needs a full server-process restart.

### T5 plugin — 1.0.0

- Baseline: the TWS-maintained plugin, including configurable HTTP deadlines,
  status/timing diagnostics, and durable telemetry storage and response helpers.
- Source covered: `t5/plugins/tws-t5-gsc-utils/` and the existing shared plugin
  build/dependency tooling under `tools/`.
- Compatibility: provides the native functions used by `tws_t5_telemetry.gsc`
  `1.0.0` and `tws_t5_leaderboard.gsc` `1.0.0`.
  Upstream source and dependency pins remain in the plugin's `upstream.json`.
  Upstream binary downloads do not include these TWS changes.
- Deployment: [build the x86 DLL on Windows](README.md#building-plugins), install
  `tws-t5-gsc-utils.dll` in `Plutonium/plugins/`, remove the old upstream DLL if
  present, and restart the full server process before loading dependent scripts.

### T6 plugin — 1.0.0

- Baseline: the matching TWS T6 plugin with configurable HTTP deadlines,
  status/timing diagnostics, and durable telemetry storage and response helpers.
- Source covered: `t6/plugins/tws-t6-gsc-utils/` and the existing shared plugin
  build/dependency tooling under `tools/`.
- Compatibility: provides the native functions used by `tws_t6_telemetry.gsc`
  `1.0.0` and `tws_t6_leaderboard.gsc` `1.0.0`.
  Upstream source and dependency pins remain in the plugin's `upstream.json`.
  Upstream binary downloads do not include these TWS changes.
