It's possible this was intentional, or it's possible I have something misconfigured. However, with the new version, welcome messages are not logged to the SERVER CONSOLE as they were previously. This isn't that big of a deal, as the server itself logs connects and disconnects, but welcomer allowed us to customize that info a bit and include location, etc.
The new version attempts to write to the player's F1 console (I didn't get any output there either) instead.
Would be nice to have an option to output to the server console as well.
Output join and leave messages to the server console?Solved
Apparently, the client receives no console message only when joining the server for the first time. I'll investigate this further!
Regarding outputting messages to the console, I intentionally removed this option because I found it useless for the same reason you mentioned that the server logs them anyway.
Honestly, we liked them, it allowed us to see who joined from where on the console. The built in messages don't give you the location information.
It would be nice as an option and fairly easy to put in that way. But it's definitely not a major issue.

Ah, I see now, to display the player's country. That could be a practical reason to add it back 😄
