InexorFlex manages InexorCore

InexorFlex is the Node.js part. InexorCore is what one would have called Inexor/Sauerbraten before (the C++ part).

  • Instances Framework

    • Moving configuration Loading from Inexor Core to Inexor Flex side needed startup changes
      • First start Inexor Flex, then Inexor Core.
    • Manage and run multiple instances of Inexor Core
      • Configure instances using configuration files
      • Start instances of Inexor Core automatically

  • Profiles

    • Like Mozilla Firefox profiles
      • different settings for different profiles
    • Predefined configuration setups
      • client, server, serverfarm and development environments
    • Multiple InexorFlex on the same machine

  • Removed all git submodules

    • Replaced with InexorFlex auto update functionality

Build

  • Using a dependency management system for C++
    • conan.io

  • Added support for more compiler / IDE enviroments:
    • gcc 7.x
    • Visual Studio 2017
  • Added Continous Deployment (CD) machinery
    • Every commit (branch or pull request) is build by Travis (Linux) and AppVeyor (Windows)
