⚙️ Under the Hood

• The require module has been removed from custom scripts/plugins as it has been deprecated for quite some time
• The fs module is deprecated and will be removed in Firebot 5.66 as it depends on the fs-extra NPM package. Use node's built-in fs modules instead.
• Variable definitions can now specify that they are sensitive, displaying a warning in the variable popup UI
• Electron 39.2.4
• Twurple 8.0.2
