DCS-SRS BETA Release Version 2.2.0.0
I know its been a while since the last SRS release...
This is a new BETA for SRS and I cannot overstate how much work has gone into this behind the scenes from myself and contributors @gcask @Hacksaw Kristy and others. A huge thank you to them for their patience as this update has been a very long time coming!!!
This BETA converts the entire of SRS into .NET 8 (finally!) as well as a complete refactor of the codebase and support for a cross platform SRS server. For the first time there is a now a native command line server for Linux (tested on Ubuntu x64) along with an optional windows command line version as well as the traditional SRS server.
This also sets up SRS to be used on Android - with a skeleton of an Android App already completed which I may publish at some point in the future as a bit of fun (it'll be an APK for side loading) for EAM
This BETA is backwards compatible with existing SRS servers and clients - but be warned, SRS has a completely new folder structure once installed - so if you want to go back to the previous release you'll have to manually copy back all the .cfg, .txt and .csv files yourself to rebuild it so I recommend a fresh install.
For BETA feedback - please post SimpleRadio Standalone Support…feedback-and-dev-updates as this is basically a rewrite of SRS under the hood - I definitely may have missed things!
I'd like to write more but the changelog is so long - Discord won't let me
