Release 0.28.1 · robocode-dev/tank-royale

📦 0.28.1 - Fixed Survival Scores

🐞 Bug Fixes

Server:
- #122: Fixed the scoring issue with Survival Score and Last Survivor Bonus, which became too large after multiple rounds.
- The server now only listens to the wildcard IP address (0.0.0.0), meaning it will listen on all available network interfaces for the specified port (IPv4 and IPv6) on the system.
