Changelog · Overwolf

Follow this entry for ongoing updates and changes to the project or tools:

Version 0.141 (Jan. 2020)

Manifest flag enable_top_isolation has been "moved up" in the hirarchy:
Now it's per app and not per windows - means, it's under the "data" node and not the "window" node.
Note that it's backward compatible (means that if one of the app windows set this flag in the manifest - it will auto-merge to the entire app).
New function: overwolf.utils.OpenFilePicker.
Now also accepts an initialPath parameter.
Logs: now end with the extension "log" (instead of numbers).
In addition, logs file names are now counted where the last number one is the newest file.
New function: overwolf.streaming.split.
Split video files.
