v2.0.0-rc1 is the first public release candidate for AirLink Panel 2.0.
This release tightens up the daemon protocol, adds Pterodactyl eggs to the image store, ships addon migrations, and makes SFTP sessions on-demand. The panel also got a cleaner routing setup and better error handling.
What changed
The daemon now uses HMAC-signed HTTP instead of the older WebSocket flow. It is easier to debug and avoids the weird connection-state bugs that used to show up at the worst time.
The image store now includes the official Pterodactyl eggs. Minecraft, Rust, CS2, Terraria, ARK, and a lot more are available when creating a server, with no manual setup.
Addon migrations are tracked in the database. Add a migrations array to your addon's package.json, and each migration runs once in order across SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL.
SFTP sessions are now created only when needed. The daemon spins up an isolated container per session with a short-lived port and credentials, then cleans it up automatically.
Known issues
This is still a release candidate, so expect rough edges. Report problems on GitHub and they will get cleaned up before the stable release.
Upgrading
If you are upgrading from 1.x, run the migration script before starting the panel. The quickstart doc has the steps.
