Release Archive
5.x Updates
All release notes from the 5.x family.
- K-Cricket match start now has a defensive route fallback, and Player Development shows original setup compared with live gameplay growth.
- The rescue wizard now stops showing irrelevant repair steps after potions work and can auto-trim oversized Playing XI selections.
- K-Cricket now sends blocked players into a true guided rescue wizard with exact potion, swap, substitute, and retire-replace actions.
- The Startup Wizard now guides blocked K-Cricket teams through health recovery, potion revival, lineup repair, natural recovery timers, and admin revive requests.
- K-Cricket now closes stale active matches after more than 5 days of inactivity so old broken games cannot block players from starting new matches.
- K-Cricket active matches remain resumable, players get controlled abandon options, match difficulty can be selected, and long game menus are grouped into clearer sections.
- Active K-Cricket matches can be resumed reliably even when an older saved match link uses a legacy safe ID format.
- Public guest pages, leaderboards, and sitemap delivery now use safer shared-hosting cache paths and fewer repeated database reads.
- K-Cricket bot opponents now scale up carefully when teams keep winning, making matches tougher without making every match feel unwinnable.
- The sitemap now routes through the live generator and only lists public K-Cricket player pages that can actually be opened by guests.
- Leaderboards, K-Cricket reports, tournament standings, and match details are now publicly browsable and included in a Google-compatible sitemap.
- K-Chess now automatically ends games when the pending-turn player delays a move for more than 5 days.
- A focused update for offline tournament result entry, clearer medal-based reporting, and safer K-Chess pending-move reminders.
- A major platform release that turns exclusive games into a premium suite, moves email sending into a cron-driven queue, adds engagement rewards, and hardens update safety checks.
