This new build contains what I am dubbing NuAuth. If you would like to test NuAuth select the test region in the dropdown at the login prompt or set region 6 in the globalsettings.json
NuAuth is a total rewrite of the auth+offsets+heartbeat back end of rb. Many users were plagued with poor connection stability to the auth service and the auth service was designed with windows server only in mind and has very poor performance.
Right now NuAuth only has one region deployed for it, in the eu, but the response time of the nuauth vs old auth is so much faster that a single server might be sufficient and is part of the feedback im looking for.
