[RELEASE] 1.33.0 - SDKGracefulTermination To Stable and Returning Metadata on Allocation

[Kalaiselvi Murugesan]

This is the 1.33.0 release of Agones.

In this release, we have focused on improving the documentation, stabilized the SDKGracefulTermination feature and also are now returning GameServer annotations and labels on allocation response.

• Stable SDKGracefulTermination: SDKGracefulTermination feature is promoted to stable. With this advancement, the SDK server will now remain active for the specified terminationGracePeriodSeconds until SDK.Shutdown() has been called. This ensures a seamless transition during shutdown scenarios and gives you more control over the termination process.

• Enhanced Documentation: We have taken steps to improve the usability of our helm documentation. The large configuration table has been restructured into multiple sections making it much easier to navigate the Agones services.

• Returning GameServer labels and annotations to allocation response: The GameServerAllocation now has a metadata field returned with the metadata of the allocated GameServer. This can be useful for returning information about the GameServer, Fleet or even the cluster to the allocating process.

Check the README for details on features, installation and usage.
