Changelog - Version 5.1 (2024-11-18)

New Features:

• User Count Variable: Introduced the (usercount) variable for custom commands. This variable allows you to track and display how many times a user has used a specific command.
• Heartrate Monitoring: Integrated with HypeRate to enable heartrate monitoring.
  • A new !heartrate command displays the streamer’s current heart rate from HypeRate.
  • Requires a HypeRate account and API key configuration.
• Watch Time Tracking: The bot now tracks the watch time of users in the chat, both live and offline.
  • A new !watchtime command allows users to see their total watch time.
• Spotify Integration: Added Spotify integration to display the currently playing song and request songs.
  • The !song command now prioritizes showing the song from Spotify if it’s playing.
  • A new !songrequest (or !sr) command allows users to request songs to be added to the Spotify queue.

Enhancements & Updates:

• Command Permissions: Updated all built-in commands to include permission settings from the database. This allows for more granular control over who can use each command.
• To-Do List: Improved the to-do list functionality with the following changes:
  • Added the ability to specify a category when adding a task (e.g., !todo add "Task description" 2).
  • Updated the !todo edit command to require a comma between the task ID and the new description (e.g., !todo edit 1, New task description).
  • Added a confirmation step for removing tasks using !todo remove followed by !todo confirm.
  • The !todo view command now displays the category of the task.
• Stream Marker: Moved the Twitch stream marker creation logic to a dedicated function for better code organization and reusability.
• URL Blocking: Improved the URL blocking feature with a more robust function to match URLs and domains against the whitelist and blacklist.
• Joke Command: Added blacklisting functionality to the !joke command. Users can now specify categories of jokes they don’t want to see.

Bug Fixes:

• Weather Command: Fixed an issue where the !weather command would not properly handle invalid or unknown locations. The bot will now inform the user if the location is not found.
