# 1.7.0 - Release Candidate

LLMS index: [llms.txt](/site/llms.txt)

---

This is the 1.7.0-rc release of Agones.

The `ContainerPortAllocation` feature has been moved to beta in this release, and the `SDK.WatchGameServer()` command
has a new alpha feature to immediately return a result.

We also have new metric and dashboard features, upgraded all our documentation and testing to Helm 3,
updated the C# SDK, improved the allocation endpoint system and more.
