You can checkout a tag with `git checkout tags/TAGNAME`, where `TAGNAME` is the tag, for example `v1.20`.

 #### Windows

+There are **no runtime libraries** needed for Windows.

 Please use the prepackaged binaries in [Releases](https://github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP-Server/releases/).

 Dependencies for **Windows** can be installed with `vcpkg`.
 These are:
 ```
-lua
-zlib
-rapidjson
-openssl
-websocketpp
-curl
+lua zlib rapidjson openssl websocketpp curl
 ```
+The triplet we use for releases is `x64-windows-static`.

 #### Linux

- libz
- rapidjson
- lua5.3
- ssl / openssl
- websocketpp
- curl (with ssl support)

Lion Kortlepel	bdf2da758c	remove pps from heartbeat "PPS has no meaning anymore and is completely irrelevant. You should ignore it, it is not an indicator of ANYTHING. If it’s high, that means NOTHING. If it’s low, that means NOTHING. If it’s -, that means NOTHING." It's packets per second per player per vehicle, but is only sent every 30 seconds, its not averaged, and on the client-side, it shows a ping icon next to it. A client can open a new connection to the server and send a `P`, and measure the time to the `P` response packet. The connection is then closed. This was added ages ago, please use this instead for ping :)	2022-10-17 14:05:51 +02:00
