Changelog - Version 5.7.6 (2026-04-14)

Version Information

• Updated version from 5.7.5 to 5.7.6
• Hotfix for the Stable bot: normalize usernames in points commands

Bug Fixes

• Fixed inconsistent username casing in points commands
  • Lowercased usernames in !points, !addpoints, and !removepoints commands.
  • Input usernames are now lowercased after stripping the @ prefix.
  • Usernames sourced from ctx.author.name and the Twitch API (fetch_users) are also lowercased before database operations.
  • Prevents duplicate or mismatched rows in bot_points caused by mixed-case usernames.

Technical Details

• Root cause was that usernames were stored and queried with their original casing, which could vary between Twitch chat input and API responses, leading to case-sensitive mismatches in the database.
• Fixes implemented:
  • Updated: lowercased user_name in points_command, and lowercased user input and fallback user_name in addpoints_command and removepoints_command.
