## Server Owners

• Plugin loading is now improved for better .PDB and extra .DLL files (no need to move PDB/extra DLL files to Win64 anymore)
• Plugin unload now automatically removes hooks owned by that plugin so the server doesn't crash after unload
• Added optional "ExtendedDebug": false in config.json for more detailed hook installation, rebuild, and unload logging.
• Missing AsaApiUtils and missing plugin dependency errors now log clearer messages.
• Dumping process made faster (about ~90% faster). High end dump cache in seconds while lower end takes just 4 minutes.

However, with our cache server, which does it on the cloud, this usually is not needed hence not direct impact on daily usage

## Developers

• The hook system was overhauled for safer and better handling, and unloading
• Hook removal now rebuilds surviving chains more safely and adds optional extended debug output.
• The MS DIA / PDB reader was updated to be faster and to resolve richer parameter types more accurately.
• Requests.cpp now correctly applies the receive timeout instead of reusing the connect timeout.

• UE 5.5 update fixes
• Header updates for developers

Important: There's a new file called msvcp140.dll, you need to copy that too for this release.

Server Owners
You can now set CPU Affinity via a command line launch parameter.
Here are some examples:

-affinity="2,3" would set the map to only use cores 2 and 3
-affinity="3" would set the map to only use core 3
-affinity="" would set the map to use all cores
Not using the setting would set the map to use all cores

• PDB files for plugins and API are now moved to Win64 folder to improve crashlog comprehension
• Fixed config section for deleting old logs in the API not being read
• Added new HTTP request functions for developers that allow specifying the timeout time on the requests
• Updated some headers for aberration update
• Included .lib file for developers, to ease the building of plugins against the current live API version
• Included 2 new dlls in the API release, to be placed in Win64 folder. These are OpenSSL dlls, to allow a transition to newer versions of MySQL and MariaDB in plugins, mainly. This is also useful for any other dev that wants to make a plugin requiring SSL

• Changed messages when cache is not found, to reflect that it is not ready yet.
• Added new HTTP request method for developers.
• Added "SuppressHttpErrors": false (in config.json for the API). If true errors in HTTP requests won't be logged to the console. Use this only if you know what you are doing, or if a developer advises you to do so.
