Changelog - Version 6.0.0 (UPCOMING UPDATE)

Version Information

• Updated version from 5.9 to 6.0.0
• Version 6.0.0 is a ground-up rewrite of the Twitch bot (bot/beta-v6.py), moving it to TwitchIO 3. The 5.9 stable and beta bots only receive bug fixes from here on.

TwitchIO 3 Migration

• New bot base
  • The bot is now a TwitchIO 3 commands.AutoBot, created with client_id, client_secret, bot_id, owner_id, a list of EventSub subscriptions and force_subscribe, instead of the old IRC style bot that joined initial_channels with a token.
  • The bot starts inside an async context (main() run with asyncio.run), adds its own token with add_token, and starts without the TwitchIO token store or web adapter.
  • New event_token_refreshed handler keeps the channel token in step when TwitchIO refreshes it.
  • The old event_channel_joined handler is gone, as there is no IRC channel join in TwitchIO 3.
• Commands
  • Commands use the commands.Context style. A setup_hook finds every @commands.command on the bot class, injects the bot and registers it, and logs how many were registered.
  • The bot provides the component hooks TwitchIO 3 expects (component_before_invoke, component_after_invoke, component_command_error), so commands work without a separate commands component.
• Chat over EventSub
  • Chat now arrives through a ChatMessageSubscription for the channel instead of IRC.
  • Message and user fields follow TwitchIO 3: .text and .chatter replace .content and .author, and the moderator, vip and subscriber flags replace is_mod, is_vip and is_subscriber.
  • The bot ignores its own messages by checking the chatter ID against the bot ID.
  • Routines use delta=timedelta(...) instead of seconds=.
• EventSub conduit
  • On startup the bot looks for an existing EventSub conduit and creates one (one shard) if none exists.
• EventSub keepalive
  • The EventSub websocket keepalive is now 30 seconds instead of 600, so a dropped connection is noticed and reconnected much sooner.

Lotto

• New V6 lotto odds
  • Each ticket now picks its result first, then builds numbers that the existing draw scores as exactly that result:
    • Division 1 (Jackpot): 1%
    • No win: 1%
    • Divisions 2 to 6: 19.6% each
  • Main and supplementary numbers never overlap, and the draw scoring itself is unchanged.
• Clearer ticket message
  • Redeeming a lotto ticket now tells the viewer “Your lotto numbers are …, and your supplementary numbers are …” instead of the old “Winning Numbers: … Supplementary Numbers: …” wording.
