Version 0.208

• Note that iterations 205 to 208 were combined into a single iteration.

Docs

• Added more page preview images
• New section on the website - Tools, documenting the different tools provided by Overwolf (ow-electron, ow-cli, Developer's console, etc).
• Dev console docs have been updated to reflect the facelift, and can be found here.

Platform

• App process_name now defaults to the app's name.
• Enabled the CSS property --aspect-ratio as experimental.
• Added the custom_modifier_key property to keybinds, allowing keybinds to utilize an extra, arbitrary, modifier key.

API

• New API - overwolf.settings.hotkeys.update():
  • Allows an app to update certain properties of keybinds during runtime. Specifically:
    • isPassThrough - Whether or not this keybind should allow passthrough.
    • customModifierKeyCode - This keybind's (optional) arbitrary modifier key.
• New API - overwolf.os.tray.changeIcon(), overwolf.os.tray.restoreIcon:
  • Allows an app to temporarily change its tray icon (repeatedly). Using overwolf.os.tray.restoreIcon will restore it back to its original tray_icon.
  • Requires a tray item to already be created (overwolf.os.tray.setMenu())!
• New API - overwolf.io.watchFile(), overwolf.io.stopWatchingFile():
  • Allows an app to listen to changes occurring on a file, rather than just listening to additions/removals from its end.
  • The listener will stop if the file is renamed or deleted, or if overwolf.io.stopWatchingFile() is called.
• Updated API - Improved overwolf.media.replays and overwolf.streaming error feedback:
  • overwolf.media.replays.capture() and overwolf.streaming.start() will now return the new parameters errorCode and errorDescription.
  • overwolf.streaming.StreamResult now returns the streamId of the corresponding OBS stream.
  • overwolf.media.replays.capture() now returns overwolf.media.replays.StartReplayResult to its callback, with more information about the capture.
  • Added overwolf.streaming.enums.CaptureErrorCode, an enum of error codes returned when a capture fails. Of particular note is the overwolf.streaming.enums.CaptureErrorCode.RansomwareProtection code, which signals that Windows ransomware protection on folders is turned on and stopping Overwolf from writing to the capture folder. More information can be found here.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue affecting app tray icons on the first install of the app.
• Fixed an issue where overwolf.utils.openFilePicker() would throw an error when passed an initialPath.
• Fixed an issue where pressing a press hotkey would interrupt an active hold hotkey, resulting in state: "up" never firing.
• When an app is un-installed, its individual app channel setting will also get removed.
• Fixed an issue where lifting a held hotkey was not properly detected if its modifier key was released first.
