[WrithemTwine]

Important: This release continues with the .NET upgrade from 5.0 to 6.0. If you have used this app in the past and have not done the upgrade, using this version will result in data loss without following specific steps. Please review the releases page, https://github.com/WrithemTwine/TwineChatBot/releases, and view the notes back to v.0.2.1.0.

Release notes:

• Added more thread locks to hopefully, and finally, quash any app crashes from the database vs GUI data conflicts! Please note if you find or have any crashes due to the "Corrupted index" exception.
• Added a new mode to repeat timers!
  • Enabled under 'Data/Options' tab, the new repeat timer mode allows blocking repeat timer messages unless conditions you specify are met!
  • Updated the GUI to handle the new repeat mode, now select a mode for the repeating timers from
    - No modifiers
    - Smart slow-down, a pro-rata approach to the time a repeat message occurs, such as a 10-minute repeat would occur between 10-20 minutes, if the specified conditions are not met (meeting the conditions would not slow down the repeat timers at all)
    - Threshold messages - this is where there are no repeat messages without meeting the condition(s)
  • Another option added to repeaters allows specifying the minutes and item count relevant to:
    - Viewers (channel listing) within the stream, N viewers in last X minutes
    - Chats within the stream, N chats in the last X minutes
    - For smart slow-down, both thresholds are (currently) part of the calculation
    - For threshold limitations, specifying one or both of these will both be followed, such as checking "chat" and "viewer" thus requires "chat" and "viewer" thresholds to be reached for allowing a repeater message.
• Expanded, when right-clicking a user row in the User data table and selecting to add a user to 'auto shouts'; this feature now supports highlighting multiple users to add to the 'auto shout' list.
• added "UserId" and "Platform" fields to the Users and Followers tables.
  • this permits future use of the Ids when comparing users, say after they name change, to auto approve merging their information
  • allows verifying any name changes did originate from the same user (multiple names in follower list for the same time but one is follower, because the other names are prior usernames)
  • helps to minimize API calls to Twitch, such as during a shoutout and getting the category they streamed, first get their UserId, then ask Twitch for the category based on a UserId - removes a step from this process once their Id is known.
  • this information will populate for current users as 1) they visit the channel, 2) newly follow the channel. any prior follower names (a user's prior username) would not have this information available, unless they change their name to a previously used name and it should be saved in the table.
• Updated tooltips in the GUI, such as, for the "Auto Shout Active Users" button to work, the "!so" command needs to be enabled.

Please note any bugs and please note how to reproduce them.

Citing other obligations, this is likely the last release for several weeks unless it's a critical error needing a fix.
Happy July.
