What’s New in Version 1.6

Version 1.6

In this update, we’ve focused on enhancing code stability, fixing bugs, and introducing a few small features.

Due to changes in the ipinfo.io service used for VPN detection, some accounts no longer receive the VPN flag. If your account lacks this flag, the bot will now notify you instead of remaining unresponsive. Previously, this major bug caused the bot to hang if the flag wasn’t available.

Additionally, when the bot is kicked from the server, it will now log back in automatically and send a broadcast notification.

Performance improvements have been made, resulting in faster connections and logins to your server.

Version 1.5

We’ve added a new translation mode called “Private Translation.” Activate it using the command /pt source_lang target_lang. Messages sent in this mode are translated and sent directly to the channel in the format: user1 says: translated message.

This mode allows private translations without direct channel postings and includes separate settings for each user, enabling personalized source and target language preferences.

Version 1.4

This update brings numerous bug fixes and exciting new features:

Change the bot’s gender and status.
Live translation of channel and broadcast messages with the command /t source_lang target_lang (e.g., /t ar en for Arabic to English translation).
Implemented a 10-second cooldown timer for live translation to prevent spam.

Various bugs have been fixed, including issues with missing configuration parts in the config file. Now, if a configuration error occurs, the app will prompt you to recreate the config file and display the error message before quitting.

We’ve also fixed bugs related to incorrect values in the config file, such as setting the port number to characters instead of numbers.
