ArchiSteamFarm V2.0.0.2 (Experimental)

NOTICE: Pre-releases are experimental versions that often contain unpatched bugs, work-in-progress features or rewritten implementations. If you don't consider yourself advanced user, please download latest stable release instead. Pre-release versions are dedicated to users who know how to report bugs, deal with issues and give feedback. No technical support will be given.

• [!] ASF now has global config ASF.json and global database ASF.db. Global config allows you to configure how ASF behaves. Global database should not be edited - contains core global ASF persistent storage.
• [!] ASF now includes auto-updates, which can be configured in global config. Auto updates include not only the boolean switch of enabling and disabling, but also update channel which you want to track (Stable/Experimental)
• [!] ASF now uses new more modern and robust file structure for configured bots:
  Old: Bot.xml, Bot.bin, Bot.key, Bot.auth
  New: Bot.json, Bot.bin, Bot.db
• Removed deprecated now SteamNickname and Blacklist config properties. Bot no longer changes nickname (same as null value), and instead of per-bot Blacklist, global blacklist is being used instead (defined in ASF.json).
• ASF now automatically dismisses notifications related to dropped items. Thanks to that we can cut spam related to new items drop.
• Added DismissInventoryNotifications bot config property which controls above behaviour, default is true.
• Added GamesPlayedWhileIdle bot config property, which allows you to specify which game(s) should be farmed while ASF has nothing to do. Default is 0 - no games being farmed while idle.
• Added CustomGamePlayedWhileIdle bot config property, which is similar to above, but allows you to specify one custom game name instead, as in "Playing non-steam game: XXX". Default is null - no custom game being shown while idle.
• Added AccountPlayingDelay bot config property, which allows you to define how often bot should be checking if you finished playing already. Default is 5 minutes, old hardcoded value was 30 minutes.
• Added support for SteamDesktopAuthenticator .maFile. If you put a .maFile in config directory, ASF will automatically pick it up and convert into it's own format.
• Added Holiday Sale 2013 with appID of 267420 to the blacklist.
• Fixed a rare exception which could happen when ASF tried to redeem a key on enabled but not connected bot instance.

ArchiSteamFarm V1.6.1

• [1.6.1] Application now comes signed, which hopefully will prevent some AVs from falsely flagging it as a virus, #127. There's no need to update if your Windows/AV doesn't make problems.
• Added !rejoinchat command, which can be executed to issue JoinChat request on all connected bots.
• Enhanced !addlicense command, it now accepts more than one game, use !addlicense 1,2,3 and !addlicense <BOT> 1,2,3
• Until Mono 4.3 stabilizes, ASF is compiled with (and requires) .NET 4.5.1 (again), previously - .NET 4.6.1.
• Improved SendOnFarmingFinished, now ASF will send trade only if it in fact farmed something and not always.
• Increased farming check interval from 15 minutes to 60, this should minimize the side effect of refreshing sessionIDs and annoying users with primary accounts.
• Fixed ASF failing to !loot the inventory with non-tradable steam items, thanks to @il-marc
• Fixed rare issue when bot would not try to reconnect in some unusual disconnect scenarios
• Fixed main RequestLimiter time being too short for over 100 enabled bots in ASF, some of them could not connect right away.
• Many other bugfixes, improvements and code optimizations. ASF should be also a little less memory intensive now.
