=== General ===

The improvements for AMX Mod X 1.9 span the whole project:

* Stability and performance improvements
* Official support for ReHLDS and ReGameDLL
* Greatly improved UTF-8 support across the project
* Significant improvements to modules and official plugins
* (Almost) completely revised and completed documentation
* Tons of new functionalities for plugin developers and admins

=== Compatibility ===

For AMX Mod X plugins and modules, this release is fully backward compatible. Anything else is a bug. <br />

However, a lot of legacy AMX Mod (no X) code has been removed, so we no longer guarantee backward compatibility for AMX Mod plugins.

AMX Mod X contains a host of new features for developers, so plugins and modules compiled against AMX Mod X 1.9 will not run on an earlier version.

If we are made aware of compatibility issues, we will list the known issues below while a fix is developed.

Known Issues:
* None

=== Upgrading ===

Upgrading follows the standard procedure, however, there are some specific steps that require additional attention.

==== General ====

# Ensure your game server is completely stopped as you cannot properly update some files while they are still in use.
# Replace all binaries:
#* Any {{tt|.so}} [[File:Linux.svg|16px]] or {{tt|.dll}} [[File:Windows.svg|16px]] files in {{tt|/amxmodx/dlls}} and {{tt|/amxmodx/modules}} folders
#* Any {{tt|.amxx}} files in {{tt|/amxmodx/plugins}} folder
# Replace languages files:
#* Any {{tt|.txt}} files in {{tt|/amxmodx/data/lang}} folder
# Replace {{tt|hamdata.ini}} in {{tt|/amxmodx/configs}} folder
# If you do scripting locally:
#* Replace all base includes and source files: any {{tt|.sma}} in {{tt|/amxmodx/scripting}} folder and {{tt|.inc}} in {{tt|/amxmodx/scripting/include}} folder
#* Replace the compiler and its binaries in {{tt|/amxmodx/scripting}} folder
#** [[File:Linux.svg|16px]] {{tt|amxxpc}} and {{tt|amxxpc32}}
#** [[File:Windows.svg|16px]] {{tt|amxxpc.exe}} and {{tt|amxxpc32.dll}}

==== New files ====

== Overview for Admins ==

=== Gamedata ===

The AMX Mod X team has made an effort to avoid hard-coding game-specific data into AMXX core and modules. New ''gamedata'' files have been created which are located in the {{tt|amxmodx/data/gamedata/}} directory.<br />
These files are now mandatory.

Game data files shipped with AMX Mod X can and will be updated at any time, therefore it is strongly discouraged to edit them manually. <br 7>
To make custom gamedata changes, please use the {{tt|custom}} folder under the {{tt|gamedata}} directory. All files under this directory are parsed (in an undefined order) after the main files are loaded. They will never be overwritten.

=== GeoIP ===

The {{tt|GeoIP.dat}} file is now replaced by {{tt|GeoLite2-Country.mmdb}} file.

As usual, a more detailed city version exists but is not provided in the default distribution. Plugins can require this version to operate.

Both (Country: ~2 MB, City: ~30 MB) can be downloaded from the official page: https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/ (MaxMind DB binary).

=== Plugins ===

Most plugins received large amounts of code improvements, modernizing and optimizing them using the latest AMXX core features.
This also includes a few security fixes.

However, this does not (yet) translate into major user-facing features. We tried to improve internal tools before focusing on that.

The features in this release are:

{{color|dimgrey|'''General'''}}

* A new access level flag {{tt|v}} for temporary bans
* UTF-8 support in some MOTD

* A new {{tt|/msounds}} client command to enable/disable sounds

* Menu/command items are now grouped per class

{{color|dimgrey|'''Stats X'''}}
