Breaking Changes at 2025-04-09

Path Change: Original path /usr/local/lib/xray/ has been updated to new path /usr/local/share/xray/

• This directory contains geosite.dat and geoip.dat
• If you have scripts to automatically update these files, please adjust them accordingly
• Regular users can ignore this change

Watchdog: Xray process will now automatically restart indefinitely (every 5 seconds) upon panic, unless it panic 3 times in 10 minutes

• Advanced users no longer need to manually modify /etc/init.d/xray or write custom daemon scripts
• Regular users can ignore this change

No root Required: Xray now retains privileges (capabilities) to support tproxy and sockopt even when running as nobody

• Advanced users should not (and need not) run Xray as root anymore — it already has all required network privileges
• If you run Xray as a server (not client), you may optionally run the command below to reduce capabilities. This theoretically minimizes attack surface but has negligible practical impact

• Regular users can ignore this change

  sed -i 's/^capabilities="^cap_net_bind_service,^cap_net_admin,^cap_net_raw"$/capabilities="^cap_net_bind_service"/g' /etc/init.d/xray
