Warning
The existing Show Text effect has been changed in two important ways:
- Variables (e.g.
$username) used in the text field of that effect are now processed to automatically safely appear on the overlay. If you had any variables that output raw HTML, that HTML will no longer work. You should migrate those to the Show HTML effect which allows advanced HTML input. - The existing Show Text effect has been deprecated and will be removed in a future Firebot update. There is a new Show Text effect that more closely aligns with modern overlay effect configurations. However, this new version does not allow any HTML usage. If you require the use of HTML, please use the Show HTML effect. Otherwise, migrate to the new Show Text effect immediately.
Note
As announced in the Firebot 5.65 release notes, Run Sequential Effect and Run Random Effect are now deprecated and can no longer be added to effect lists. While they will continue to function for now, we highly recommend migrating to the new Sequential (Single) and Random effect list run modes immediately.
✨ New
- Added new Default Reward Tab setting in Settings > General to allow setting a default tab for the Power-ups and Rewards page (Power-ups, Channel Rewards, or Request Queue)
✅ Fixed
- Fixed an issue where Sequential (Single) effect lists may not run in the expected order the first time (#3502)
- Fixed an issue with
$filesInDirectorywhere it may unexpectedly return a blank or empty value
