SUMMARY

We're bringing some security features to the platform. Some old methods may not work any more, make sure to read the relase notes and related docs before continuing your work.

BREAKING CHANGES

• Microsoft Sync Framework needed for the development
  • See development environment and running apps for details.
• Account registration via email no longer supported
  • To comply with local regulations, a mobile number must be used for account registration.
  • International SMS is supported via country code.
  • All previous user accounts were removed.
• Layer0 must be run as a Windows Service
  • Previously, we supported running layer0 as a regular console application. From now on it must be installed and run as a Windows Service.
• RuyiManifest.json format unification
  • The naming convention for keys was inconsistent and difficult to validate prior to app deployment.
  • The format was updated and assistance is provided via app runner and "TRC tool".
• Console mode usability

  The first round of security features have been added to console mode. We're still refining them to improve ease of use and game compatibility, but it's currently unusable for the majority of applications. Unless you feel adventurous, you should work in PC mode until next release.

  • Apps must be signed to run (see security and sign tool)
  • A file-system/registry security policy has been added, access to many resources is restricted. See security and storage.
