New Valheim version is: 0.145.6.
There is a current bug with the charcoal kiln. it will stop registering the wood you put in but it takes the wood out of your inventory. current work around is to reboot the server.

Botje retrieves the new server version from the server after it has updated and restarted. Obviously we've got a few instances here where the game version seems to be identical to before the update. Assuming that's not a bug I'm adding some more info to Botje's posts including the data it's pulling directly from Steam which is what triggers the update.
Current Valheim info on Steam:
However, when the server restarted just now it also requested this information from Steam and got the following result:Code:AppID : 896660, change number : 10759221/4294967295, last change : Thu Feb 18 16:58:17 2021

So something definitely changed. But the game's version number which you get by querying the running server stayed the same. Interesting.

For Minecraft I pull the resolved issue numbers from Mojang's Jira directly for each build. Would be nice if Valheim had something like that.
*edit*
Closest I've found is an announcement posted on the Valheim Steam pages:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/892...78454614595940
But I doubt that's posted automatically and it would be a pain to locate and parse.
The Version History on the Valheim wiki also seems to be manually edited judging by the timestamps of the edits vs when Steam updated.

for now it is also posted when you start the game before choosing a server. If you start from steam it skips the update page. found it when i got dc'd from server update.Quote:

Todays patch has some huge changes to dedicated servers. Dedicated servers now always use direct connections instead of using Steam Datagram Relay (SDR). This should result in much lower latency for most players. Private dedicated servers are enabled by adding "-public 0" to the server command line (See server manual PDF). You can only connect to private dedicated servers using the "Join IP"-button. I really hope this patch solves a lot of connection issues introduced in last weeks patches ( due to switching socket backend ). In addition to these dedicated-server fixes valve are also working on fixes to the SDR system (used when connecting to non-dedicated servers) and i believe there is already a beta-steam-client available that fixes some of these issues. Thanks everyone!!
- Localization updates
- Made Haldor head-turn smoother
- Object network interpolation is skipped if object was far away, solved issue with network players flying through the air when entering dungeons & exiting portals etc
- Added -public 1/0 flag to dedicated server again, Allows players to host local lan only servers
- Join IP-button updated to allow for lan-connections (dedicated servers only) & added DNS support
- Dedicated servers use directIP connection instead of SDR, solves issues with slow steam relays in some areas of the world
- Bonemass puke-effect network fix
- Updated Dedicated-server PDF manual
- Prevent pickup items when entering portals
- Lowered wolf procreation slightly
- Lowered chance of boss trophy talking

- Megingjord item-collider fix
- Added a slight use-delay on Hammer, Hoe & Cultivator
- Hammer remove auto-repeat added

This was a long one! This patch has been taking extra long time to develop due to the new terrain-modification system. The new terrain modification system is made to reduce the number of network instances and make loading faster and smoother. Technically it’s a pretty big change but hopefully you should not notice that much of a difference except some minor behaviour changes to the hoe and pickaxe and of course much smoother loading of areas with a lot of terrain modifications. All terrain modifications after this patch (using the hoe, pickaxe or cultivator) will automatically use the new modification system. For existing areas where heavy terrain modifications have been made before this patch we have added a special console command “optterrain” that basically converts all the old terrain modifications in the nearby area to the new system. To use the “optterrain” console command, you first need to enable the ingame console by adding “-console” as a launch argument for the game.
- Swamp draugr spawner location fix to prevent draugrs from spawning inside stones
- Lox pet-sfx fix
- Torches in locations should no longer support constructions
- Dolmen location stone size fix
- New terrain modification system
- Terrain-modification priority changed (Terrain modifications in an area should load before buildings, only applies to the new terrain modification system)
- World loading tweaks (to fix issues with ships and buildings getting damaged while loading)
- Stop server list download when leaving the start menu (to decrease network bandwidth usage)
- Lowered the amount of stone required to Raise ground using the hoe
There is no version history available on the wiki or Steam group yet. Stay tuned!

This time we’ve made some more adjustments to make everything feel more balanced. Some food stats have been changed, but more importantly all melee weapons will now cost less stamina to use.

I've done some work on the server update mechanism. It should now only trigger an update when there's an update to the "public" branch of Valheim on Steam. Previously it would force a server update any time they uploaded something to one of the experimental branches as well which effectively only restarted the server because there wasn't anything to upgrade to at that point.
So yeah, fewer server restarts and only when there's an actual update available hopefully. We'll see how it goes when the next update comes along. They currently have version 0.207.15 in public testing so it shouldn't be too long before we get more stuff to play with in Valheim :)

The fenrings stalking the Mountains at night had to come from somewhere. Now you can finally discover the strange frozen caves where their brethren reside – if you’re brave enough to face them. Maybe you’ll even be able to learn a thing or two from how they fight?
For this patch, we have also optimised the game for the Steam Deck. This also includes full controller support for PC as well, and a pause feature in singleplayer. That’s right, if you’re playing alone you’ll now be able to step away from the game for a moment without having to worry about being found by a troll!
Please note
that this update forces a fresh location generation of your worlds. This will cause slightly longer loading times the first time you open them, and it might slightly move some boss locations. The Frost Caves will also only appear in previously unexplored areas.

Dedicated-server world loading fix.
This patch fixes the world load issue introduced in 0.209.8, causing dedicated servers to fail to load worlds saved in the now legacy “worlds/” directory (and instead creating a new empty world)
Unfortunately if you already got a world-reset caused by this, try removing the broken world from "worlds_local/" (but don’t touch “worlds/” ). This will make the server load the original working world from “worlds/” instead.
Shit happens :( sorry

This patch consists of an important fix to a bug which would cause the game to crash, often with a reset of the game world in the process. Both the crashing and the resulting reset have now been solved, and we have also added a function to let you automatically backup your saves.
If you have lost a world due to this issue prior to this patch, you can follow this guide to restore your progress.
If you’re playing on a dedicated server, make sure that the server host has updated the game before you play, in order to avoid unforeseen issues.
Fixes & Improvements:
- Autobackup system added that will keep one 2-hour and one 12-hour backup by default and can be customised in misc settings. Default setting on dedicated servers is 4, which can be customised with new parameters (-backups -backupshort -backuplong).
- The game will now save after you sleep, or at 30 minute intervals, and the timer is reset when using the manual save console command. The save interval can be customised on dedicated servers using the new parameter (-saveinterval).
- Using the console save command now also saves the character file
- The dedicated server manual PDF has been updated with the new parameters.
- World save gets disabled if it’s a corrupted world file or if it’s an incompatible world version and the game will return to the main menu. Dedicated servers will shut down if the world is corrupt.
- A change to Steam Cloud saves to avoid a particular crash during saves that could corrupt the world save.
- The game returns to a pause state if a multiplayer host is alone in a multiplayer session if all players leave (like it was previously).
- Players can no longer create a world with the same name when Steam Cloud saves are enabled.
- Characters with duplicate filenames will now be hidden.
- Characters with different names from the filename will be displayed to differentiate between renamed files
- Local and legacy characters will now be deleted properly if Steam Cloud is enabled
- Beehive VFX on-hit fix
- Removed the ability to craft/build the Midsummer items
