Release v5.67.0-beta1

v5.67.0-beta1 Update Notes

Note

Due to Apple dropping support for Intel-based Macs in macOS 27 later this year, Firebot is no longer supported on Intel-based Macs. Starting with this release, new versions of Firebot for Mac will only be built for Apple silicon-based Macs.

✨ New

• Control Decks! A new fun and easy way to trigger Firebot actions is here! With Control Decks, you can create your own push button interface to quickly run effects in Firebot. Each deck supports custom grid and control sizes, multiple pages, nested folders, and even pinned controls that can appear on every page of that particular deck. Plus, Control Decks are built with mobile in mind: As long as your phone is on the same local network as Firebot, you can quickly scan a QR code and control Firebot from your phone! (Just make sure your firewall allows Firebot to communicate with your local network - and as always, PLEASE do not allow incoming requests to Firebot from the public internet!)
• Plugins! The next generation of extending Firebot functionality is here! For quite some time now, Firebot has had the ability to add additional features and integrations using custom scripts, but we know that they can be difficult and tedious to create and manage. To solve this, we've built a brand new plugin system from the ground up, including a new Plugin Manager that you can quickly access from either the Tools menu or from Firebot settings. This new system not only makes it easier for you as a Firebot user to install, update, and manage your plugins, but it's also designed with developers in mind, making it much faster and easier to build and maintain new integrations. Several custom scripts have already been updated to the new plugin system, so check out our Discord for more info!
• Community Plugins! With the introduction of our new plugin system, we're also introducing Community Plugins - a way to quickly and easily find, install, and update plugins, all without leaving Firebot! When you want to find an available plugin, just open the Plugin Manager, click "Browse Plugins", and search. Best of all, Firebot will automatically let you know when updates are available for any of your Community Plugins, so you can update a plugin from the Plugin Manager with a single click, quickly giving you the latest features and fixes. Since Community Plugins are brand new, there won't be too many available to start with, but be sure to search often to discover new plugins that our community members have created and published!
• Pinned Messages! In this first wave of pinned message features, we've added some new effects and variables, along with the ability to pin a message immediately using the Chat effect and to right click & pin a message from the Dashboard! We plan to add events and additional Dashboard support once Twitch adds additional third-party support on their end.
• Added the following new overlay widgets:
  • Rotating Text
  • Twitch Poll
  • Twitch Prediction
• Added the following new effects:
  • Clear Chat Widget
  • Pin Chat Message
  • Set Active Control Deck
  • Set Default Control Deck
  • Unpin Chat Message
  • Update Pinned Chat Message
  • Update Rotating Text
• Added the following new event filters:
  • Gift Resub
• Added the following new variables:
  • $controlDeckInput
  • $isGiftResub
  • $obsPreviousSceneName
  • $pinnedByUserDisplayName
  • $pinnedByUserId
  • $pinnedByUsername
  • $pinnedChatMessage
  • $pinnedChatMessageId
  • $pinnedChatMessageTextOnly
  • $pinnedChatMessageUserDisplayName
  • $pinnedChatMessageUserId
  • $pinnedChatMessageUsername

🛠️ Improved

• We've made a number of performance improvements to Firebot. We'll be focusing heavily on more of these improvements, especially with larger/more active communities, in the coming months.
• Firebot will now attempt to automatically fix your global settings file if it somehow becomes corrupt
• Log messages have improved, now including the Firebot module or plugin where the log message originated and more detailed Twitch connection logging
• More variables are now available for use with Power-ups (e.g. $arg and $target)

✅ Fixed

• Fixed an issue where overlays may not reconnect properly if you close and reopen Firebot while streaming software remains open
• Fixed an issue where built-in integrations (like OBS) might trigger events before other Firebot systems are fully loaded (#3400)

⚙️ Under the Hood

• With the new plugin system, we have made several changes for developers:
  • Legacy startup and effect scripts are now deprecated. They will continue to work, but they will not receive feature updates or fixes going forward, and may break as underlying Firebot systems evolve. Please update your custom scripts to the new Plugin format ASAP.
  • The following internal systems may break legacy scripts as soon as 5.68.0 as we are planning major internal changes:
    • Viewer database
    • Currencies
    • Roles
  • Firebot types are no longer being published or updated via the @crowbartools/firebot-custom-scripts-types library or repository. Going forward, use the new @crowbartools/firebot-types package. This package is automatically generated from the main Firebot source and will match the corresponding Firebot version.
  • Plugins no longer need to manually register and unregister many items, like effects, events, filters, variables, and much more. Simply add the corresponding items to the registers property of your exported Plugin and the plugin system will automatically handle registrations for the lifecycle of your plugin. NOTE: Due to limitations with Angular 1.x (our frontend UI framework), users must reload the Firebot main window in order to fully update, disable, or uninstall plugins that register UI extensions.
  • Internal Firebot systems/modules are no longer directly exposed to plugins. Instead, the @crowbartools/firebot-types provides a default firebot export that abstracts out and interfaces with internal systems in the context of your plugin (e.g. firebot.logger or firebot.storage). In order to use any of these, simply import firebot from "@crowbartools/firebot-types" anywhere in your plugin and use it as needed. The plugin system automatically injects the functionality at Firebot runtime, so no more need to maintain and pass around your own copies of modules that were previously provided in the run() function.

Release v5.66.6

v5.66.6 Update Notes

Warning

The existing Show Text effect has been changed in two important ways:

1. 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.
2. 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

• Chat Overlay Widgets! This long-awaited feature is finally here: You can now display your channel's chat feed directly in your Firebot overlay! (#3272)
  • Chat: While the design of the standard chat widget itself is fairly basic, we've added a ton of settings so you still have lots of control over how your chat will appear on your overlay, including fonts, showing/hiding specific elements, /me & highlighted message display settings, and much more.
  • Chat (Advanced): However, if you're looking to fully customize your chat widget, there's also an advanced version of the chat overlay widget. With the advanced version, you supply your own HTML and CSS to create a chat widget that looks exactly the way YOU want!
• Twitch Custom Power-Ups! We worked closely with Twitch to launch this feature side-by-side with Twitch's rollout to all eligible streamers! Similar to channel rewards, custom power-ups allow you to have any number of effects run when someone redeems them. However, these will actually earn you bits! Just create your custom power-up on the Twitch dashboard, open Firebot, and add whatever effects you like.
• Twitch Watch Streaks! We've added the Watch Streak event along with some supporting variables. (#2960)
• You can now specify clip duration and an optional custom title when using the Create Clip effect (#3447)
