v3.9.1

Gameboard 3.9.1 introduces the "Synchronized Start" feature for games, resolves an issue preventing example responses to challenges from being displayed, and a number of minor infrastructure and security updates.

New features

• Games can now set to "Synchronized Start" mode.
  • Sync start games can't be launched until all registered players (across all registered teams if it's a team game) have marked themselves ready, which they can do on the lobby screen.
  • Once all players have readied, the game will automatically launch following a brief countdown. All players will have identical session start times and lengths.
  • Users with the Admin and Tester roles can launch their own sessions in sync start games independent of whether all players have marked themselves ready.

Bug fixes

• Resolved an issue that prevented Gameboard from correctly rendering example answers to challenges.
• Resolved unintended behavior with session reset which caused challenge archive to fail in some cases. Integration tests have been added to clarify business rules around challenge reset.
• Resolved an issue that could cause Gameboard to fail to accurately report the nature of an exception during challenge launch if the game engine API errors.

Dependencies

• RXJS has been upgraded to 7.8.0 for improved performance and better API tooling.

Infrastructure and Miscellaneous

• Gameboard's content security policy settings have been updated to facilitate security across a broader range of deployment scenarios.
• The Gameboard.Tests.Unit and Gameboard.Tests.Integration projects have been renamed to Gameboard.Api.Tests.Unit and Gameboard.Api.Tests.Integration to better align with other solution projects.
