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; see the version policy.

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. Disabling telemetry by dvar does not remove its native linking requirements.
• Deployment: follow the T5 installation/upgrade instructions, 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. Disabling telemetry by dvar does not remove its native linking requirements.
• Deployment: follow the T6 installation instructions, 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, 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.
