Alpha 7 — Stability and Access Update
A production-focused update improving camera controls, authentication and player identity.
This update establishes a new stable baseline for the Astrail Alpha and resolves several critical issues discovered during the production rollout.
Camera Controls
Fixed zoom in and zoom out on the game board.
Fixed pan behaviour and unexpected camera jumps.
Improved mouse wheel, drag and touch gesture consistency.
Restored reliable camera controls across Chromium and Firefox.
Added safeguards to prevent unrelated visual systems from overriding the board camera.
Player Identity
Google sign-in no longer replaces an existing player callsign.
Previously affected profiles can recover their reserved callsign automatically.
The Astrail server is now the authoritative source for player callsigns.
Development Baseline
Production hotfixes have been synchronized with the development environment.
Additional release checks now protect core camera behaviour from accidental regressions.
No gameplay rules or balance values were changed in this update.
