Game updates, plugin versions and improvements to our interface with a traceable history.
Recorded, available and installed are different states. Your actual installation status and suitable updates are shown in the server panel.
The guided tools were revised in the shared panel code. The entry concerns the interface or its processing. The date records the change; availability on an individual server depends on the game, software, plugins and permissions.
The guided interface was updated. The history shows added, changed and removed fields with explanations and editor defaults. The date records the documented change, not the historical deployment time.
