0.44.0

Please note: Widget settings, chat window settings, and some general chat settings will be reset when upgrading to this version. This is due to internal changes to the program's functionality required to implement new features

• An "Experimental" section has been added to the chat window's context menu, allowing you to access new features that aren't fully ready yet or may be unstable at the moment
• Added the ability to highlight messages mentioning you. You can also enable sound notifications when you are mentioned. This feature can be enabled and configured via Experimental->New Settings->Mentions
• Text-to-Speech: Added various settings (see Experimental->New settings)
• Test messages (which can now be sent through the "Sound Commands" settings section) are now formatted like other messages. For example, links are now clickable, just like in other messages
• Added the ability to send customized test messages. See New Settings
• Developers: Added the ability to send messages to AxelChat via HTTP request POST http://127.0.0.1:8356/api/v1/receive-events. This can be used, for example, to display messages from third-party sources or for testing the functionality. More details in the documentation: https://github.com/3dproger/AxelChat/blob/main/docs.md
• Developers: In the message transfer protocol, the forcedColors field has been replaced with bodyStyle, and the fields within this object have also been changed
• Developers: Fixed a bug that sometimes caused a delay in outputting log messages to a file
• The ability to support the AxelChat developer has returned. This can now be done through Boosty: https://boosty.to/axelchat

0.43.3

• Fixed a bug that could cause a white rectangle to appear in the chat window when window background transparency was enabled

• Fixed a crash in some rare cases
• Some unnecessary warnings have been removed
• DonationAlerts: There was an issue with logging out too often, but it's not happening again. It was probably their problem. But if it happens again, I'll try to fix it
• Developers: When closing AxelChat, spam of uninformative messages in the logs was removed

0.43.1

• TikTok: Connection errors have become more informative
• VK Video: Added support for connecting via a new type of link
• VK Video Live: Minor fix for displaying messages with mentions

0.41.2

This is the latest version that works on Windows 7, 8 and 8.1

• Boosty: Authorization has been fixed in some cases
• AxelChat startup has been slightly sped up
• The sound notification for a new message is now located in an external file <app_folder>/deps/audio/notifications/default1.wav. This means that by replacing this file, you can change the notification sound. Only the wav format is supported. After replacing the file, restart AxelChat. I still haven't created a proper interface for customizing this notification, sorry
