SinusBot for Linux 1.0.0-beta.16

This release fixes just a couple of minor issues. If you don't use any of the affected features (or scripts using it), you probably don't need to upgrade.

• fix: make sure event 'load' always fires
• fix: add invoker info to !yt call

As always, please read the installation guide and upgrade instructions carefully and make sure you've got all necessary dependencies installed. TS 3.3 (and with that SinusBot newer than 1.0.0-beta.2) also required a Kernel Version of 3.17 or above, so also make sure you've got at least that version running.

Have fun!

This release adds compatibility for TS 3.3 and fixes a couple of issues with the scripting engine.

The TS client again requires you to install some dependencies. On Debian/Ubuntu this can usually be done via apt:
apt install libpci3 libxslt1.1 libxkbcommon0

Have fun

Hey all,

it's time for a new release. This is the first beta to version 1.0 (after three months of being in alpha) and it brings some major changes when coming from version 0.14 or earlier. You can see an overview of the new features here. That's also the place where the new documentation can be found.

The biggest improvement has been made to the scripting engine. We're now using v8 as JavaScript engine, which is the same engine that powers Chrome and other major browsers (pretty soon even Edge, hehe). Please be aware that some scripts will need to be updated (or might have been already) to still be able to run inside the bot. If you want to script yourself, you can find the API over here.

There have also been a couple of improvements in regards to Discord and some APIs for scripting have been made more user friendly as well. This version also introduces a new included TTS integration. See the documentation on that for more details.

I'd like to thank everyone who's been helping me on this really tough release for their countless hours of support. This especially includes @irgendwr, @mxschmitt as well as @Multivitamin, who pushed me the most to make the change to the new JavaScript engine and also gifted us with some libraries that come packed with the bot and that will hopefully streamline and simplify the process of writing your own scripts! Thanks also to all script authors who are already in the progress of migrating their scripts and have given valuable feedback, most notably @Filtik.

Should you run into any issues, feel free to open a new thread on the forums or discuss it on our Discord server.

As always follow the upgrade instructions or wait 1-2 days until the new version becomes available for @Qhiliqq's installer script.

Have fun

Hey all,

it's time for another update and time to move past the previous 1337 version
This one doesn't bring a lot of new major features, but is packed with many many little fixes and enhancements a lot of people wanted to see and that will hopefully make the bot even more flexible.

Some of the newer additions to the scripting engine are not yet properly documented in the scripting docs, but I hope that those get updated soon as well.

As always: thanks to everyone who tested the recent insider versions and helped getting rid of quite a couple of bugs!

Have fun!

Hey all,

it's time for another release! This one is bigger than the previous ones and brings a lot of optimizations, bugfixes and features.

I'd like to especially thank @mxschmitt and @irgendwer for helping me getting the new bugtracker full of reports as well as @Diesmon, @Filtik and @kapabac for their time testing the latest insider releases. Also, thanks again to everyone who is participating in our community by reporting bugs, filing feature requests, helping out others with their issues setting the bot up, donating or just throwing a "hi" into our chatroom - without your support, this project wouldn't be what it is today!

The next release will probably focus on improvements for Discord.

Enjoy,
Michael aka flyth

Hello all,

this is the release that some of you probably have been waiting for for a long time. It took more time than I thought to get TS 3.1.5+ compatibility in (that was even a bigger one than 3.1.0+), but this version should run pretty stable with it.

However: as the new TS version comes with a couple more dependencies, there are additional steps required to use the bot with it - an autoupdate is sadly not possible because of those. So, please follow these steps carefully and let us know if you run into problems, as I'm sure other people may face the same.

• backup! - if done correctly, you will most likely not lose settings or uploaded/downloaded music
• this version doesn't support 3.0.x Clients anymore!
• make sure you've got all dependencies for the older SinusBot versions installed as they are still needed
• remove the current TS client from the bot installation
• download and unpack the new client version as usual (make sure it's 3.1.8+)
• create a plugins folder inside the client directory (that one doesn't exist out of the box anymore)
• copy the plugin (libsoundbot_plugin.so) to that directory as usual
• for Ubuntu/Debian, run the following to install additional dependencies: apt-get install libnss3 libegl1-mesa x11-xkb-utils libasound2
• remove the file libqxcb-glx-integration.so from the clients' xcbglintegrations directory
• remove the data/ts3 directory: rm -rf ./data/ts3
• start the bot as usual
• enjoy!

A new wiki entry will be created shortly and also the installer script will be changed to use the new version and install its dependencies soon. So if you're not able to follow the steps above, please wait for that.

All other changes can be found in the changelog as usual.
Thanks to all the testers who spent hours and hours helping me with this release and sent valuable feedback!

I hope you'll have fun with the new release
Michael

This release features many changes / enhancements for the scripting engine and finally also comes with a new auto-update mechanism, so that upcoming releases can be downloaded more bandwidth/server friendly. Once such an update is available, you will be notified about it on the web interface.

However, this release sadly still doesn't support the new 3.1 TS client. I know that many of you are waiting for that update, but it needs a little more polishing (I'd say that about 75-80% of the work is done by now).

Thanks again to all who helped out by testing / supporting / motivating me Without you, this project would probably have died a long time ago!

0.9.18
feat(vm): added udp to allowed protocols
enh: hopefully optimize compatibility with streaming servers
fix(discord): list channels correctly again
feat(vm): added clientDeaf / clientUndeaf

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had some time to relax in the past couple of days before work/school gets you again. I certainly have and finally got some time to work on a couple of things that you hopefully will enjoy

This release focuses on scripting and brings some new functionality to it - you can for example connect to a mysql database or to other servers via tcp from scripts. It's still not feature-complete but should get the most basic things done. Read more about it here. Should you have any questions, feel free to ask on the forums or in our chat.

Apart from that, some older and rare issues have been fixed.

Thanks again to all the testers and mods who helped at getting the new stuff stable enough for you guys!

Have fun!

CHANGELOG

• feat(vm): add "net" module for tcp connections
• feat(vm): add "db" module to access sqlite / mysql databases
• feat(vm): add semver to scripts; specify required versions as "engine" in manifests to use
• feat(vm): add privileges to scripts in config.ini
• enh: add "edit file" privilege and bind to tag editor
• enh: add "volume" parameter to tts
• enh: add more fields to tag editor (genre / track# for now)
• enh(vm): add duration/genre/trackNumber to track object
• fix: for ios clients, make the url bbcode work so that urls will be recognized
• fix: make MaxDownloadSize work again
• fix: don't limit avatar filesizes too much (let TS handle it)
• fix: make drag'n'drop move work again

This is again a version with massive changes under the hood, major changes being:

• introducing the new Scripting API - this one should be much easier to handle than the old one - I'm looking forward to see what you'll use it for!
• finally introducing support for Discord (however, this may still be a bit rough around the edges - handle with care) - I hope to get this more stable in the next release, feel free to report bugs! Full documentation on how to set this up will follow soon.
• the "store" feature to directly download / start scripts / locales / themes from within the interface
• speed improvements inside the bot as well as on the frontend

I plan to release interim versions with Discord fixes more often than usually, so keep an eye on the forums if you want to help out.

Thanks again to all the testers who have helped keeping things in order as well as keeping me motivated!

Have fun and "Happy Halloween"!

PS: To upgrade,just copy over the new files as usual. There's no need to lose any data (although the Discord support might require a fresh installation).

• enh: the almost forgotten brother has returned: the windows version is now on par with the linux version
• enh(win): instead of a console window, show a tray icon - doubleclick opens the interface, right click lets you shut down the bot
• enh(win): add youtube-dl autodetection so it works out-of-the-box when in the same directory as the bot
• enh(win): the architecture of the windows version has significantly changed and should work much smoother now for most people
• fix: remove some possible deadlocks
• feat: integrate minimal interface to directly download scripts/themes/locales
• enh: make own themes possible
• enh: make default theme configurable
• enh: make themes hideable
• enh: only load .json for locales, .js for scripts and .css for themes
• enh: optimize crash detection
