Firebot v5 Beta Release Notes

Important info for Firebot V5 and the Beta: PLEASE READ!

• Firebot v5 represents a major overhaul of almost every part of the app. Because of this, v4 save files will not simply carry over.
• A v4 to v5 importer isn't available yet, but will be before the beta period ends.
• v4 and v5 can be installed at the same time, and v5 saves data in a different location than v4. So you can safely try out v5 while still having v4 around to reference or fall back to.
• Don't forget this is a beta so you might find some bugs. If you run into an issue, please drop by our Discord and let us know.

Beta 3 Change Notes

• You can now manually add (or remove) viewers to/from Firebots viewer DB via the Viewer Details modal.
• Added option to set a keyboard key for MixPlay buttons.
• When clicking a viewer avatar in the Chat Feed, message actions will now properly respond.
• When only a number is provided for a MixPlay controls font size, assume pixels (px).
• Improved the UI and discoverability of the the MixPlay control "styling options" accordion.
• The bottom footer of the Edit Effect modal now sticks to the bottom instead of scrolling out of view so you always have access to the Save button.
• Fixed MixPlay Connected event not triggering.
• Fix first audio sound played after app start lagging a bit.
• Fix a bug with banned words list.
• Added warning when selecting a script that might not have been written for V5.

(Note to script devs: To avoid this warning add firebotVersion: "5" to your script manifest)
