What is planned for Version 3.6

Published: 2021-07-17 by Omsad

With the release of version 3.4 and 3.5 ready for testing my thoughts are turning towards what is coming in version 3.6.

My aim is to increase the reliability of the third party integrations, e.g. Twitch, StreamElements and StreamLabs, as well as increase the number of connections available.

Feedback is appreciated so if you have any comments on the below please join the InstructBot discord and let us know.

Existing Third Party Integrations

A re-work to the connections mechanism so they are all independent and can be connected / disconnected without affecting the other connections. Increase visibility of when InstructBot is reconnecting, e.g. showing when the connection to Twitch Chat, Twitch PubSub, StreamElements etc... has been dropped, and is reconnecting.

StreamElements

Investigate and fix why authentication intermittently fails to get the client when connecting. Implement additional logic for Extra Life and Tiltify charity events.

Twitch

Integrate new emote endpoint so that emotes can be loaded when starting rather than as they are used.

New Third Party Integrations

Add support for connections to Tipeeestream.
