📦 0.30.2 - GUI auto-scales the Battle View - 02-Jun-2025

🚀 Improvements

  • GUI:
    • The GUI now automatically scales the battle view when it’s first displayed and adjusts it dynamically as the window is resized.
    • Thanks to Jan Durovec for this nice improvement. ❤️

🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Server:
    • #132: Fixed several race conditions and synchronization issues on the server side.
  • BotAPI / Sample Bots:
    • Fixed issue where the Fire sample bot did not lock the radar on its target.
  • Sample Bots:
    • The Fire and MyFirstBot sample bot did not turn perpendicular to the bullet direction anymore, and the RamFire did not drive directly towards its target.
  • Documentation:
    • #136: The turn timeout and ready timeout were incorrectly specified in milliseconds instead of microseconds. 1 millisecond = 1/1,000 of a second, where 1 microsecond = 1/1,000,000 of a second
