3urobeat/steam-comment-service-bot 2.15.0

Version 2.15.0

on GitHub

Changes of note (TL;DR):

• Added new commands: !funnyvote, !jobs
• Added support for commenting and voting on reviews and for commenting on eventcomments discussions
• Drastically decreased startup time for larger instances with many proxies by applying logindelay per proxy instead of per account
• Added QR-Code login
• Added a JobManager to group routinely executed functions in one place and allowing the registration and unregistration of jobs during runtime
• Added automatic plugin update on boot and botVersion parameter to check and warn of version mismatch

If you are using a customlang.json, make sure to read the language string changes at the end and update your file.
If you've made a plugin, check the 'Creating Plugins' wiki page and add the botVersion parameter to your package.json.

Fixes:

• Fixed incorrect command name !vote in help message by changing it to !upvote

Changes:

• All request types will now enforce maxRequest settings set in config.json. Previously only the comment command would enforce it.
• Improved up-/downvote ratingHistory database operations
• Improved missing accounts error message in vote and curatorFollow requests by returning specific nounlimited message
• Primary Group will now only be set if not already done. This does not reduce amount of requests (unless Steam weights requests differently and a editProfile request is heavier than a profile fetch) made but rather reduces log-noise
• Generalized requesttoohigh & commentnounlimitedaccs language strings to be used for all request types
• The dataIntegrity check is now getting executed slightly earlier on startup
• Updated steam-comment-bot-template, steam-comment-bot-webserver, steam-comment-bot-discord-plugin and steam-comment-bot-rest (#7, #8) to v2.15

• Updated dependencies
• Minor other changes
