Release notes

1.9

See log.

For players:

  • Updated for Stardew Valley 1.2.
  • SMAPI now rewrites many mods for compatibility with game updates, but some mods will need an update.
  • SMAPI now detects incompatible mods and disables them before they cause problems.
  • SMAPI now allows mods nested into an otherwise empty parent folder (like Mods\ModName-1.0\ModName\manifest.json), since that's a common default behaviour when unpacking mods.
  • The installer now detects if you need to update .NET Framework before installing SMAPI.
  • The installer now detects if you need to run the game at least once (to let it perform first-time setup) before installing SMAPI.
  • The installer on Linux now finds games installed to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Stardew Valley too.
  • The console now has simpler error messages.
  • The console now has improved command handling & feedback.
  • The console no longer shows the game's debug output (unless you use a SMAPI for developers build).
  • Fixed the game-needs-an-update error not pausing before exit.
  • Fixed installer errors for some players when deleting files.
  • Fixed installer not ignoring potential game folders that don't contain a Stardew Valley exe.
  • Fixed installer not recognising Linux/Mac paths starting with ~/ or containing an escaped space.
  • Fixed TrainerMod letting you add invalid items which may crash the game.
  • Fixed TrainerMod's world_downminelevel command not working.
  • Fixed rare issue where mod dependencies would override SMAPI dependencies and cause unpredictable bugs.
  • Fixed errors in mods' console command handlers crashing the game.

For mod developers:

  • Added a simpler API for console commands (see helper.ConsoleCommands).
  • Added SaveEvents.AfterReturnToTitle event triggered when the player returns to the title screen.
  • Added TimeEvents.AfterDayStarted event triggered when a day starts. This happens no matter how the day started (including new game, loaded save, or player went to bed).
  • Added ContentEvents.AfterLocaleChanged event triggered when the player changes the content language.
  • Added GetPrivateProperty to the reflection helper.
  • SMAPI now writes XNA input enums (Buttons and Keys) to JSON as strings automatically, so mods no longer need to add a StringEnumConverter themselves for those.
  • The SMAPI log now has a simpler filename.
  • The SMAPI log now shows the OS caption (like "Windows 10") instead of its internal version when available.
  • The SMAPI log now always uses \r\n line endings to simplify crossplatform viewing.
  • Fixed SaveEvents.AfterLoad being raised during the new-game intro before the player is initialised.
  • Several obsolete APIs have been removed (see deprecation guide), and all notice-level deprecations have been increased to info.
  • Removed the experimental IConfigFile.

For SMAPI developers:

  • Added support for debugging SMAPI on Linux/Mac if supported by the editor.

1.8

See log.

For players:

  • Mods no longer generate .cache subfolders.
  • Fixed multiple issues where mods failed during assembly loading.
  • Tweaked install package to reduce confusion.

For mod developers:

  • The SemanticVersion constructor now accepts a string version.
  • Increased deprecation level for Extensions to pending removal.
  • Warning: Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location will no longer reliably return a valid path, because mod assemblies are loaded from memory when rewritten for compatibility. This approach has been discouraged since SMAPI 1.3; use helper.DirectoryPath instead.

For SMAPI developers:

  • Rewrote assembly loading from the ground up. The new implementation...
    • is much simpler;
    • eliminates the .cache folders by loading rewritten assemblies from memory;
    • ensures DLLs are loaded in leaf-to-root order (i.e. dependencies first);
    • improves dependent assembly resolution;
    • no longer loads DLLs if they're not referenced;
    • reduces log verbosity.

1.7

See log.

For players:

  • The console now shows the folder path where mods should be added.
  • The console now shows deprecation warnings after the list of loaded mods (instead of intermingled).

For mod developers:

  • Added a mod registry which provides metadata about loaded mods.
  • The Entry(…) method is now deferred until all mods are loaded.
  • Fixed SaveEvents.BeforeSave and .AfterSave not triggering on days when the player shipped something.
  • Fixed PlayerEvents.LoadedGame and SaveEvents.AfterLoad being fired before the world finishes initialising.
  • Fixed some LocationEvents, PlayerEvents, and TimeEvents being fired during game startup.
  • Increased deprecation levels for SObject, LogWriter (not Log), and Mod.Entry(ModHelper) (not Mod.Entry(IModHelper)) to pending removal. Increased deprecation levels for Mod.PerSaveConfigFolder, Mod.PerSaveConfigPath, and Version.VersionString to info.

1.6

See log.

For players:

  • Added console commands to open the game/data folders.
  • Updated list of incompatible mods.
  • Fixed config.json values being duplicated in some cases.
  • Fixed some Linux users not being able to launch SMAPI from Steam.
  • Fixed the installer not finding custom install paths on 32-bit Windows.
  • Fixed error when loading a mod which was released with a .cache folder for a different platform.
  • Fixed error when the console doesn't support colour.
  • Fixed error when a mod reads a custom JSON file from a directory that doesn't exist.

For mod developers:

  • Added three events: SaveEvents.BeforeSave, SaveEvents.AfterSave, and SaveEvents.AfterLoad.
  • Deprecated three events:
    • TimeEvents.OnNewDay is unreliable; use TimeEvents.DayOfMonthChanged or SaveEvents instead.
    • PlayerEvents.LoadedGame is replaced by SaveEvents.AfterLoad.
    • PlayerEvents.FarmerChanged serves no purpose.

For SMAPI developers:

  • Added support for specifying a lower bound in mod incompatibility data.
  • Added support for custom incompatible-mod error text.
  • Fixed issue where TrainerMod used older logic to detect the game path.

1.5

See log.

For players:

  • Added an option to disable update checks.
  • SMAPI will now show a friendly error with update links when you try to use a known incompatible mod version.
  • Fixed an error when a mod uses the new reflection API on a missing field or method.
  • Fixed an issue where mods weren't notified of a menu change if it changed while SMAPI was still notifying mods of the previous change.

For developers:

  • Deprecated Version in favour of SemanticVersion.
    This new implementation is semver 2.0-compliant, introduces NewerThan(version) and OlderThan(version) convenience methods, adds support for parsing a version string into a SemanticVersion, and fixes various bugs with the former implementation. This also replaces Manifest with IManifest.
  • Increased deprecation levels for SObject, Extensions, LogWriter (not Log), SPlayer, and Mod.Entry(ModHelper) (not Mod.Entry(IModHelper)).

1.4

See log.

For players:

  • SMAPI will now prevent mods from crashing your game with menu errors.
  • The installer will now automatically detect most custom install paths.
  • The installer will now automatically clean up old SMAPI files.
  • Each mod now has its own .cache folder, so removing the mod won't leave orphaned cache files behind.
  • Improved installer wording to reduce confusion.
  • Fixed the installer not removing TrainerMod from appdata if it's already in the game mods directory.
  • Fixed the installer not moving mods out of appdata if the game isn't installed on the same Windows partition.
  • Fixed the SMAPI console not being shown on Linux and Mac.

For developers:

  • Added a reflection API (via helper.Reflection) that simplifies robust access to the game's private fields and methods.
  • Added a searchable list_items console command to replace the out_items, out_melee, and out_rings commands.
  • Added TypeLoadException details when intercepted by SMAPI.
  • Fixed an issue where you couldn't debug into an assembly because it was copied into the .cache directory. That will now only happen if necessary.

1.3

See log.

For players:

  • You can now run most mods on any platform (e.g. run Windows mods on Linux/Mac).
  • Fixed the normal uninstaller not removing files added by the 'SMAPI for developers' installer.

1.2

See log.

For players:

  • Fixed compatibility with some older mods.
  • Fixed mod errors in most event handlers crashing the game.
  • Fixed mod errors in some event handlers preventing other mods from receiving the same event.
  • Fixed game crashing on startup with an audio error for some players.

For developers:

  • Improved logging to show ReflectionTypeLoadException details when it's caught by SMAPI.

1.1

See log.

For players:

  • Fixed console exiting immediately when some exceptions occur.
  • Fixed an error in 1.0 when mod uses config.json but the file doesn't exist.
  • Fixed critical errors being saved to a separate log file.
  • Fixed compatibility with some older mods.1.1.1
  • Fixed race condition where some mods would sometimes crash because the game wasn't ready yet.1.1.1

For developers:

  • Added new logging interface:
    • easier to use;
    • supports trace logs (written to the log file, but hidden in the console by default);
    • messages are now listed in order;
    • messages now show which mod logged them;
    • more consistent and intuitive console color scheme.
  • Added optional MinimumApiVersion to manifest.json.
  • Added emergency interrupt feature for dangerous mods.
