Release history
What changed in each version — the same notes the app shows when it offers an update.
0.18.2 current
The assistant now sees every link you have, not just the first 25.
Fixed
- The bot was shown only the first 25 links from your knowledge base, although the page promises it sees the whole list. Past that they simply did not exist for it: asked for one of them, it answered with a different link instead of saying it had none. The limit now matches what the knowledge base itself allows — 60 rows — and the same was raised for your PC configuration.
- If a list ever does get cut, the app now says so in the log instead of dropping rows in silence.
0.18.1
The voice assistant stops mishearing your own words and stops offering links you do not have.
Fixed
- Speech repair used to overwrite what it should have left alone: a name you said correctly could be swapped for the name of an OBS scene, and the bot then answered about something else entirely. The list of names you keep for speech recognition is now read by that step as well, so your own words win.
- The bot no longer names a link that is not yours. An address it did not get from your knowledge base or from this reply's search results is not sent to chat at all — instead the assistant tells you out loud that it has no such link.
0.18.0
Ideas now take screenshots, the donor list finally means what its label says, and settings that used to stop at the app now reach OBS.
Added
- Ideas take screenshots — up to four, with the button, by dragging a file onto the form, or with Ctrl+V. And everywhere a file is attached, in ideas and in support alike, it now shows as a row of thumbnails: a click opens the original over the page, with arrows between them, instead of a full-size picture stretching the page down.
- Your own idea can be edited while it waits for review — the title, the description and which module it is about. Once it is published the text is fixed, because by then people have read it and voted for what it said.
- The donor list got calendar periods: today, this week, this month, this year, beside the rolling ones. "This month" counts from the 1st and "month" counts the last thirty days — the label no longer leaves you guessing which one you picked, and the rolling kind never empties mid-stream.
- The Knowledge Base saves itself and has no Save button any more. It saves a moment after you stop typing and at once when you click away from a field; a line beside the title says when it happened.
- Every module page in the catalogue now ends with an invitation to suggest an idea for that module, and the form opens with the module already filled in.
Fixed
- The top-donor list set to "this stream" showed donations from your previous broadcast. It read the last session stored in the database instead of the one on air, so old names stayed up until the first new donation arrived.
- In Lists the line format never reached OBS. You changed it, the preview showed the new one, and the overlay kept the old — the setting was dropped on its way out of the app.
- In the Carousel a changed sound only reached OBS after you refreshed the browser source. It was read once when the source loaded and never again.
- The right-hand column of the Lists and Carousel editors had no scrollbar of its own: everything past the bottom edge of the window was simply cut off, and the shadow layers and the font list at the end of the column could not be reached at all.
- A command's card showed only some of its triggers. One spelled the same as the command's name was dropped from the line, so a command called Meow with the trigger meow showed none at all.
- Chat commands now fire when you type them yourself — from the chat feed on the Control Panel or from the app's send box, not only from the platform's own chat.
0.17.0
The font picker now offers the fonts installed on your PC, and the top donors line is yours to shape.
Added
- Font picker: the fonts installed on your computer, each name drawn in its own typeface
- Font picker: search appears on its own when the list gets long, and every group header says how many fonts are in it
- Top donors: the line is built from variables — position, name, amount and currency
Fixed
- Fonts that cannot write your language now sit at the bottom of the list instead of quietly swapping single letters for another typeface
- The currency in the top donors line no longer comes out in a different font: it is written as a code (RUB) instead of a symbol
0.16.4
Release notes moved to a page of their own, and German stopped calling the carousel bar five different things.
Added
- A page with every release: straimer.com/releases. Five at a time, a button opens the next five, and it has room for a hundred versions. Until now the history lived at the bottom of the download page and showed the last five with nothing behind them.
- The download page now shows only the gist of the newest version, with a link to the full notes. Two different visits were competing on one page: someone who came for the button had to scroll past the history, and someone who came for the history landed on a download button first.
Fixed
- Bold text in release notes showed up as asterisks. The page escaped the whole text instead of reading its markup, so bold reached you literally — on the site and in the update window alike.
- The German menu called the carousel bar Pool-Bar-Overlay. In German that reads as the bar by a swimming pool, not a fill level. It is Pool-Balken-Overlay now.
- The same bar answered to five German names depending on where you looked: Balken in the catalogue, Bar in the menu, Leiste in the widget settings, Sammelleiste in its description and Poolbar in a handbook article. One word everywhere now: Balken.
- The German handbook article about the carousel engine used Leiste twelve times while the screen it describes said Balken. If you went looking for the label from the article, it was not on the page.
- The built-in handbook ships inside the installer, so all of the above reaches you with this build and not only on the website.
0.16.3
Bot commands work again for everyone. If the name of your bot on one platform happened to match a name used on another — your own login, for instance — every command typed there was thrown away in silence: no answer, no error, not a line in the log. The same silence hit anyone who connected a single account both as the channel and as the bot, where the bot's name and yours are the same by definition.
The protection those names were compared for is still in place, and it was only ever needed for one thing: the bot must not answer its own reply and talk itself into a loop. That is now recognised by WHAT was said rather than by WHO said it — a reply that comes back from chat within seconds is dropped, and a command you typed yourself matches none of them.
The log no longer stays quiet about it. Two new lines say when a message was dropped as an echo and when a !command matched nothing.
The built-in handbook caught up with the screens it describes. The article on speech recognition still carried the old name after the screen had been renamed, and across six languages several things were going by two or three words inside one language. One name each now — in the handbook, in the menu and in the catalogue: the currency rates module, the auction board overlay, the carousel pool bar.
The installer for this version is no longer kept — the notes stay, the file is gone.
0.16.2
The built-in handbook and the support assistant now speak your language. They answered in English while the rest of the app was translated — and the same slip had your statistics converted to dollars instead of the currency picked for your region. This affected everyone who had never opened Settings → Localization, not only fresh installs.
A fresh install now asks which language you want, with the one detected from your system offered first. Until now the question only came up if your system language was not one of ours — so most people were never asked at all.
The main screen is called Control Panel everywhere. The sidebar item, the screen title and the handbook now use the same name.

0.16.1
Twitch chat no longer shows the same message several times.
After a network drop the app could end up holding several chat connections at once, and every message arrived once per connection — with Alerts, Voice Over and the AI Agent firing that many times over. The part that keeps chat online was reading the normal pause between reconnect attempts as a dead link, so it kept opening new connections while the old ones came back on their own.

0.16.0
Several widgets where there used to be one.
Auction, bracket, wheel, carousel, pool bar and challenges now open on a list. Press Create widget and there is a second one — its own link, its own look, its own settings — so two of them can stand in different scenes at the same time. The one you already had is in the list from the start and keeps everything it had.
The app looks like one app again. Shell screens and module pages now draw from the same set of cards, rows and switches instead of every page building its own; the live background is back on every module page, and switching sections no longer flashes white.
Three defects found in a stream log. Chat on the Dashboard stopped following new messages after a GIF. A scenario that reads out what a viewer paid for spoke one message out of three when the reward was bought again while it was still waiting. And the bot said "subscribed" about people who had been given a subscription — fifty times over on a gift of fifty; recipients are now silent by default, with a switch of their own.
Scenario triggers got two guards, both off by default: a pause between runs, and once per viewer per hour. A follow-bot raid sends hundreds of follows a minute, and without them every single one wrote to chat, spoke aloud and cut a clip.

0.15.0
The voice moved into the core, so any module can speak — and every task now has a voice of its own on the new Voice → Voices screen: donations, chat, subscriptions, channel point rewards, the bot, scenarios. Rewards bought with channel points can be read aloud, and what the bot writes in chat is now five separate switches instead of one. Built-in Twitch purchases — Highlight My Message, writing past sub-only mode, a gigantified emote, a message effect — can start a scenario, and a gigantified emote is finally shown big in the chat tile and the overlay. The hype train and channel goals appear in the events feed, subscription messages are no longer lost, and the update check retries after a network hiccup instead of going quiet for an hour. Panel tiles now refresh themselves after a module update, and the speech recognition screen remembers the microphone's name.
