Release of SFS .NET API Beta 1

21st of August 2008 by Thomas Hentschel Lund

After a long period of summertime vacation, the first public beta release of the SmartfoxServer .NET client API has been released.

Known bugs and "good to know" items

* HTTP failover when socket communication fails is not working. The HTTP part is in there, but it doesnt fail over on the client side

* buddy functionality has only been crudely tested. It would be good to hear back from you about succes/failure in that area

When used under Unity there are various issues

* it seems that exceptions are swallowed and not reported up to the client. Thus the client API can have crashed with exceptions without Unity code knowing about it

* Unity and/or mono seems to keep sockets alive after stopping the game under the editor. Starting the game again with the socket open can hard crash the Unity editor. Always try to log out first and then stop the game

The code has been tested in internal beta for a while, but that doesnt mean there are no bugs. But the general usage patterns have been tested.
