Changelog - Version 5.7.5 (2026-02-20)

Version Information

• Updated version from 5.7.4 to 5.7.5
• Hotfix for the Stable bot: subathon schema + event flow alignment

Bug Fixes

• Fixed missing subathon table setup
  • Added managed schema creation for the subathon runtime table so !subathon start/pause/resume/addtime/status operations have a guaranteed backing table.
  • Prevents runtime failures where bot queries wrote to a table that did not yet exist.
• Fixed subathon settings persistence behavior
  • Updated dashboard settings save logic to update the latest row instead of creating duplicate rows on each save.
  • Aligned reads to use the latest settings row (ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1) for stable/beta bot runtime consistency.
• Fixed subathon overlay payload compatibility
  • Updated overlay event handling to match emitted payload keys (starting_minutes, remaining_minutes, added_minutes).
  • Removed dependency on non-existent payload fields (totalTime, additionalTime, message) so timer display updates correctly.
• Fixed SUBATHON_STOP websocket notice guard
  • Allowed stop events to be emitted without requiring extra payload data.
  • Prevents valid stop notices from being blocked by strict parameter checks.

Technical Details

• Root cause was a mismatch between schema definitions, dashboard persistence behavior, and bot/overlay websocket payload expectations.
• Fixes implemented:
  • Added subathon table creation to managed schema in dashboard/usr_database.php.
  • Updated dashboard subathon settings write path in dashboard/subathon.php to perform deterministic update/insert behavior.
  • Updated subathon payload handling in overlay/subathon.php to consume real event keys.
  • Updated stable and beta bot websocket notice handling and settings reads in bot/bot.py and bot/beta.py.
