HLstatsX Community Edition

Version 1.6.8 has been released.

As usual, download links are up at our Google Code page.

The 1.6.x series is still in maintenance-only mode as we slowly continue to work on our major 1.7.0 release. Therefore, version 1.6.8 is mostly bugfixes with some minor game support updates. There have also been updated version of the SuperLogs plugin for Team Fortress 2, CS:S and Insurgency recently posted over at the AM site. The full changelog for HLstatsX:CE 1.6.8 is available below.

As noted, the next slated release with new feature will be 1.7.0. We are still very early on with development of 1.7.0, however it is shaping to be the largest release we have pushed to date. If you are interested in helping us alpha, or later beta test, please sign up for our HLXCE Beta Testers Google group.

Note: We now offer .tar.gz in addition to our .zip files. The contents of the packages are identical, however the .tar.gz is suggested for Linux as it has the necessary permissions already set.

It's been a few months now since we've pushed out a release, and we wanted to assure everyone that we are still alive. The primary developers have been busy and none of us have had much time to devote to the project besides for minor commits here and there. That being said, we have a few things we wanted to make sure got out there, which we think everyone will be excited about!

Version 1.6.7 has been released.

As usual, download links are up at our Google Code page.

1.6.7 continues the bug fixing for the 1.6.X branch and is tentatively the last release prior to the next feature release, 1.7. 1.6.7 fixes a longstanding bug with a lastAddress and flag issue in the database. In addition some daemon crash edge cases have been resolved. We also fixed some PHP4 compatibility issues. The full changelog is available below.

If you are still using PHP4 we highly encourage you to update to PHP5 as future version will begin to depend on components that exist in PHP5 or later. We have no intentions to break PHP4 support but will be less aggressively working on compatibility for PHP4.

Note: We now offer .tar.gz in addition to our .zip files. The contents of the packages are identical, however the .tar.gz is suggested for Linux as it has the necessary permissions already set.

The Development Team thought it was time to give a clear roadmap of where we intend on heading with HLX: CE as we set our sights on version 1.7.0. In addition the development team is wanting to collect some information back from end users on how they are using HLX: CE. If you have a few minutes please stop by our forums and cast your vote in our forum poll.

It is very important to upgrade to 1.6.6 as soon as possible as there have been some security issues discovered that are fixed in this release.
