Server browser
- Official servers (the backend's "official_servers") sort first and are
drawn in ReSkate blue
- Servers Steam friends are skating in sort next, drawn in green with the
friends' names; searching a friend's name finds their server
- A player in a session they joined can join another server straight from
the list; hosts still end their session first, and a Steam friend's join
offer never replaces a session
- Joining a dedicated server from the list records it as the player's
public session, so friends see it and the row shows HERE
- Blocked servers (the backend's "blocked_servers") are hidden and cannot
be joined, by code either
- When the backend sets "server_tokens_required", dedicated servers that
signed in without a login token are hidden, except on the player's own
network
- A search that gets no internet list from Steam keeps the last list for
two minutes, and waits six seconds before treating it as empty
Roles
- New Staff tag from the backend's "staff" list: green name, badge and
item animation, ranked after Dev
- Staff can pick a rainbow for their items on the Special page; it is sent
as a solid colour older builds can show, so the protocol is unchanged
Dedicated server
- steam_token: sign in with a Steam game server login token and keep the
same Steam ID every start; empty signs in anonymously as before
- A listed server without a token says so at startup, and when the token
rule starts or stops hiding it
- Linux servers update themselves from the release's "server_linux"
tarball, with the machine's curl and tar, pinned by SHA-256, and carry
on in the same process
Launcher
- Only create the MiniDumpWriteDump API-set shim under Wine/Proton
In a server folder outside the ANSI code page, path.string() threw while building the error for a failed config write. At startup that second throw escaped the catch in main, so the server crashed with an empty log instead of saying it could not write the config.
- Read Dev / Creator / Homie Steam IDs from api.reskate.dev instead of the hardcoded list
- Creator (red) and Homie (gold) tags and hoodie/board colours; Admin tag is now pink
- Global bans: lobby hosts and dedicated servers turn banned players away
("global_bans": false in ReSkateServer.json opts a server out)
- SPECIAL menu page for listed players to hide their own tag and items
- Fix hoodie and board keeping the animated colour after the animation turns off
- Multiplayer protocol 39 -> 40
The Linux console reader split stdin on '\n' only, so a line ending in
"\r\n" kept its '\r': "quit" did not stop the server and every command
answered Unknown command. Lines from a script saved on Windows, a hosting
panel or telnet end that way. (The Windows reader uses std::getline on a
text-mode stream, which already drops the '\r'.)

A double-clicked server closed its window with the error still in it. It only
waits when it is alone on a visible console, so terminals, hosting panels and
hidden scheduled tasks still see it exit at once.
Control pipes driven by one-shot writers (echo cmd > fifo, fleet
tools) close the write end after each line; read()==0 then means
'no writers right now', not EOF. Only treat 0 as end-of-input for
non-FIFOs (/dev/null, files, terminals). Sleep briefly on empty
FIFO polls so POLLHUP does not spin.
- console reader: poll()+read() instead of iostream getline; joinable
thread joined before Steam shutdown/exit (iostream lock deadlock
needed Ctrl+D before)

- CI: version input, tag builds, ReSkateServer-Linux-<version> asset
with setup script staged at top level
