Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

[0.15.0] - 2026-05-15​

Added​

  • TakeManualActionOnPlayerAsync() now automatically attributes the acting player on the resulting action log. The SDK reads UserId and UserName from GetTelemetry and sends them as actionByPlayerUserId and actionByPlayerUsername. The username is hashed server-side before being stored.
  • TakeManualActionOnPlayerAsync() accepts an optional timeoutSeconds parameter (default 15). The value is applied to the underlying UnityWebRequest.timeout. Pass 0 to disable the client-side timeout.
  • ApiRequestOptions.TimeoutSeconds for setting UnityWebRequest.timeout on any request routed through SendApiRequest (default 15).

Server-side changes affecting SDK callers​

  • The /manual-action/player endpoint is now rate-limited at 12 requests per minute per IP. Callers exceeding the limit will receive a 429 response. This pairs with the new 15-second client-side timeout to make the endpoint robust against unresponsive clients and aggressive retries.
  • Request payload fields on /manual-action/player are now bounded. Requests will be rejected with a 400 if any of the following are exceeded:
    • playerUserId, playerUsername, productActionId, actionByPlayerUserId, actionByPlayerUsername: max 255 characters
    • description: max 2000 characters
    • durationInMinutes: integer between 1 and 525,600 (1 year)
    • numberOfStrikes: integer between 0 and 100

[0.14.1] - 2026-05-08​

Fixed​

  • Opus encoding no longer freezes the Unity main thread. OpusEncoder.Encode is pure managed C# (Concentus runs at ~40-50% of native libopus speed) and was running synchronously on the main thread. Encoding now runs on a thread-pool worker and the coroutine polls for completion, so frame ticks continue while audio is being encoded.

Changed​

  • The OpusEncoder instance is now cached and reused across encodes instead of being constructed per recording window, removing the SILK/CELT state and resampler setup cost from every encode.
  • Encoder complexity reduced from the default 10 to 5 per Xiph's mobile-VOIP recommendation.
  • Per-encode allocations (packet buffer, output stream, tail frame) are now reused.
  • Microphone capture and Opus encoding both run at 16 kHz, eliminating the in-encoder resampler.

Removed​

  • The deprecated WAV upload path (AudioClipToFile, WriteWavHeader, and the related AudioClip construction step) has been removed now that the Opus path is verified across Unity client implementations.

[0.14.0] - 2026-05-06​

Added​

  • Transcript field on the audio moderation response
  • HasSpeech field on the audio moderation response
  • Confidence field on the audio moderation response

[0.13.1] - 2026-05-01​

Fixed​

  • GetProductActionsAsync() and TakeManualActionOnPlayerAsync() no longer require the caller to be a dev player. Both methods can now be called by any client.

[0.13.0] - 2026-04-20​

Changed​

  • Audio uploads now use Opus encoding - Audio is encoded with Opus and sent to a dedicated moderation endpoint instead of the legacy WAV path
    • Microphone recording now runs at 48kHz where supported, falling back to the device default with a warning otherwise
    • WAV upload path is retained but deprecated and will be removed once the Opus path is verified across multiple Unity client implementations

Internal​

  • Added PlaySafeOpusEncoder and bundled the Concentus 2.2.2 dependency under Runtime/Plugins

[0.12.0] - 2026-03-25​

Added​

  • Manual player actions - Added TakeManualActionOnPlayerAsync() method for applying moderation actions on players directly from the game
  • Forgive player - Added ForgivePlayerAsync() method for forgiving players and optionally resetting their strikes

Internal​

  • Added explicit platform and source attribution to AppealBanAsync(), ReportUserAsync(), UnReportUserAsync(), and audio moderation requests
  • System language is now passed as the language used for moderation

[0.11.4]- 2026-03-05​

Internal​

  • Added additional null check when stopping a recording, prevents AudioClip is null errors when trying to send audios for processing.

[0.11.3]- 2026-03-05​

Added​

  • ViolationType field to ActionItem

[0.11.2]- 2026-02-23​

Added​

  • ViolationType field to ActionLog

Fixed​

  • Issue with ViolationType being passed in as ActionValue
  • Actually returning the ActionValue, which corresponds to the product action value as ActionValue

[0.11.1]- 2026-02-03​

Added​

  • Internal: Added ability to share audio clip length when sending audio for processing.

    In future this should allow for flexible audio length processing

[0.11.0] - 2026-02-02​

Added​

  • Added Id field to ActionLog type.
  • Added ActionFriendlyName field to ActionLog type.
  • Added TriggersStrike field to ActionLog type.
