AAGRINDER does not have version numbers, only raw commit history. Most points in the commit history are reasonably stable versions. A version of the server is typically compatible with the terrain generator from the same date. Please note that older AAGRINDER versions may have different dependencies. The aagrinder-terrain repository has git tags for the versions of the terrain generator which were used on the official server aagrinder.xyz. Updating the terrain generator on an existing world is not recommended.
