Server Administration and Multiplayer
WebDashboard
The old Web control panel for the server has been removed in favor of a new Web Dashboard. This is the first step of bringing over what has previously been known as Allocs Server Fixes, providing Web based APIs for interacting with the server as well as a browser interface to those features. Compared to the old mod this interface currently lacks all of the APIs that provide information on players.
This new Web Dashboard is currently provided as a mod shipped with the dedicated server version in order to be able to speed up iteration times independently of the actual game releases when improvements are made or fixes integrated.
If you were previously using the control panel to automate server tasks you will need to switch over to the new API system:

• Normally you define API tokens in the serveradmin.xml or via the ‘webtokens’ command, but you can also define one API token o...

A21 Press Release Notes
Hey Survivors,

It has been a while since our last major release, December 2021 to be exact. For a year and a half, our growing team has been working hard to bring you Alpha 21. This Alpha delivers more polish, optimizations, updates, quality-of-life improvements, new content, new features, and new gameplay systems than ever before. We say it every Alpha, and we will say it again, this is the biggest and baddest version of the game to date.

If you have never played 7 Days to Die or you have not played it for a while, you're going to want to check out Alpha 21. Pushing hard towards the Gold Version, this impressive mountain of work could only be achieved by the lengthy, iterative, development style we have gone through. The Fun Pimps dream big and know that nothing of this magnitude comes overnight. Building on an already solid foundation, this update sets the bar even higher for the sandbox, survival, simulation, RPG game genre.

Just noticed that we already have a Pinned thread for this as well, so the discussion can continue there.

Sorry guys, haven't had coffee yet, and am busy writing the update notes to post here.

Just a reminder that this will not be a stable release.

Following the Streamer Weekend is an opt-in unstable experimental build.
Do not participate if you are not willing to deal with bugs and reporting them.
Do not plan to play any save for longer than about a week.

I mean, I know none of you are actually going to read and understand this, but I have to at least try.

The experimental will be going public on the 12th of june, so 6 days; It will be opt in, not automatic. After that, anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months before the stable version hits.

Even after A21 stable arrives though, you can opt back into A20.x via the beta menu, though; So don't feel too stressed- Just play and enjoy your save, and whenever you feel done with it you can start a new save over on A21.

Or, yknow, if you're more inclined you just need to wait 6 days to start a save on the A21 experimental.

Originally posted by James: Ok, great. So when is A22 coming out?

When it's ready.

I do! It's because no official date has been given yet, Any and all mention of mid-may has been rumor-mill discussion. When a date is officially announced, It'll likely be pinned in general discussions for all to see; Till then, any date is just guesses and hopes.
