Patch Notes

v5.1.1

TwitchYapBot

• Remove unused fallback method in obs_monitor.rs
• Define the first launch message text in "firstLaunchMessage.txt" instead of hard-coding it
• Add donation link
• Add launch flags for testing:
  --force-current-version or --current forces the app to act as the newest public version
  --force-out-of-date-version or --old forces the app to act like it's out of date
  --force-unpublished-version or --new forces the app to act like it's newer than the latest release
  --force-first-launch or --first-launch forces the app to act like it's being launched for the first time
• Move new & existing launch flag logic to launch_flags.rs
• Ensure all python processes properly close when switching to tray app. Occasionally, the tray app would not start the python bot because it detected that it was already running.

settings.rs

• Make functions for repeated logic
• Define magic numbers as constants
• Save settings automatically upon close
• Hide access token by default, with a button to show/hide

YapBotTray

• Split main.rs into modules (obs_monitor.rs & bot_manager.rs)

YapBotInstaller/YapBotUpdater

• Fix blue screen crash that occurred in VMs when closing TwitchYapBot after launching from installer/updater. This never happened on real hardware during testing, only virtual machines. VM graphics drivers (dxgmms1.sys, vm3dmp.sys) crashed when TwitchYapBot closed after its parent process (installer/updater) exited immediately. Installer and updater now wait for TwitchYapBot to fully initialize before exiting
