Hytale Server Manager v2.6.6

Backend

• Stability – Backend restarts automatically if Uvicorn crashes or exits unexpectedly (Tauri + Python).
• Reconnection – Backend URL cache is cleared on connection errors so the app can reconnect after a restart.
• Logging – Log buffer handles write errors so logging stays available when stderr fails.

UI

• Config – Config view uses a labeled button instead of a tooltip-only control for better accessibility.
• Dashboard – Button styling updated for consistency.
• Scrollbars – Scrollbar styles standardized via CSS variables; ServerConsole and ConfigView use them for consistent layout and overflow.

Fixes

• Console / SSE – Added output event handling in SSE subscriptions for more reliable console streaming.
• Server exit – Improved server exit handling to avoid duplicate exit messages and better manage connections when the server stops.

Fixes

• Backend readiness – Backend readiness check now returns clear success or failure messages based on server startup status.

Fixes

• Installation dialogs – Clearer error handling, optional debug info copying for support, and installation cancellation support.

Note

Linux compatibility is planned for the next release.

Hytale Server Manager v2.6.0

Updates

• Bulk update – Update all instances with available updates in one action; grouped by patchline so each version is downloaded once

• Instance backups – Per-instance backup created before each update
• UI – Updated layout, clearer messaging and guidance, and improved dialogs

UI & Layout

• Footer – App footer with version link and Report Issues across main app, auth, and onboarding
