v1.32.0

This is the 1.32.0 release of Agones.

This upgrade ensures that your game servers are equipped with the latest tools and improvements, enhancing their overall performance and stability:

• Upgrade to Go version 1.20.
• The ResetMetricsOnDelete feature is now beta and enabled by default. Now when a Fleet or FleetAutoscaler is deleted from the system, Agones will automatically clear metrics that utilize their name as a label from the exported metrics, so the metrics exported do not continuously grow in size over the lifecycle of the Agones installation.
• The PodHostname feature that allows you to access a GameServer Pod within a cluster by a DNS name is now beta and enabled by default.
• The SplitControllerAndExtensions feature which splits the Agones controller into multiple binaries for better reliability is now beta and enabled by default.
• The SafeToEvict feature has been promoted to stable.

We encourage you to take advantage of these promoted features to enhance the stability, performance, and functionality of your game servers.

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