published in chronological order.

v2.5.6 Release Notes

The casino has been rebuilt. Roulette and baccarat join the line-up, the slots move to five reels and twenty lines, and every game now reports its result as a picture of the table or the reels. There's also a jackpot that builds up across the whole server, along with stats and leaderboards. Alongside that, a summary command that condenses a channel's conversation, per-member control over who may use a command, and a much larger set of details you can pull out of variables. In the dashboard, global search and the sidebar have been rebuilt, and every settings page now follows the same layout. The servers running your bots have moved to Japan.

v2.5.5 Release Notes

Two new earthquake notifications. One warns you before the shaking arrives; the other reports the measured intensity afterwards, complete with a map. We've also refreshed the AI model line-up and moved thinking effort to five levels. Backups can now be restored even if the server they came from is gone, and we fixed a bug where auto-response rules stopped firing without saying a word.

Improvement

v2.5.4 Release Notes

Every settings panel on Discord has been rebuilt, across all features that have one. We also fixed a family of bugs where changing a setting showed you the old value straight afterwards, making it look as though nothing had happened — in some cases losing edits outright. Includes fixes for minigame odds and payouts that didn't match reality, an economy toggle that never actually turned anything off, and a rebuilt log panel in the builder.

Fix

August 12, 2026

v2.5.31 Release Notes

An emergency fix for the dashboard reloading over and over for anyone who hadn't yet accepted the new Terms of Service — you could reach neither the consent screen nor your bots. We also fixed the reporting problem that left this bug logged as an unidentified error on our side.

Feature

August 12, 2026

v2.5.3 Release Notes

We've added Black Hole, which stops indiscriminate spam from compromised accounts at the very first message. Verification settings now live inside the protection settings panel, and every feature's settings command has been unified under `settings`. On the dashboard, per-server settings now show server names instead of raw IDs, and the backup viewer has been rebuilt. This release also fixes several commands — including ticket, role panel, and poll commands — that were failing every single time.

Fix

August 2, 2026

v2.5.21 Release Notes

An emergency fix for ticket panels failing to deploy — `/ticket panel` failed every single time. We also fixed `/ticket create` showing an error immediately after reporting success, and settings in the ticket panel that didn't refresh until you pressed "Refresh".

Feature

August 2, 2026

v2.5.2 Release Notes

We're introducing two new features — Sticky Message and Message Screenshot — and rebuilt the leveling images from the ground up. BotShader AI can now change your bot's settings for you, and the custom command error handler finally does what it says. This release also fixes modules not taking effect until a restart, speeds up bot pages, and closes several security issues around permissions and secrets.

Fix

July 28, 2026

v2.5.1 Release Notes

We fixed a bug where choice options in custom commands never matched in conditional branches, so every run fell through to the else branch. We also fixed modals placed after a permission check or a value comparison never opening, and modals can now be placed directly after a conditional branch.

Feature

July 27, 2026

v2.5.0 Release Notes

Centered on the BotShader AI redesign (screen reading, a three-tier model picker, command builder integration) and command grouping, this release also brings ShadeBoard — our global server board, a much faster dashboard startup, a batch of iPhone fixes, the general release of Bot status / activity settings, and a fully redesigned log view.

Feature

July 7, 2026

v2.4.0 Release Notes

Introducing Bot Environment Variables — safely store per-Bot secrets and reference them from custom commands. Custom commands can now call external Web APIs via the new apiReq node. The login and registration screens have been unified, and Bot start/stop/restart flows have been refreshed. We're also previewing an upcoming paid-plan feature that lets you set your Bot's Discord status / activity. Alongside this release, we're ending the temporary blanket paid-plan grant that was in place during the beta period, and setting all users to the "BotShade Free" plan.

Bot 全機能を対象とした品質強化アップデート。サポートチケットを閉じると再び開けなくなる不具合、ミニゲームのボタン連打で通貨が二重に獲得される不具合など、報告いただいていた多数の不具合を一斉に修正しました。あわせて、welcome / verification / role_panel / log の Embed 編集を「フル編集」へ格上げし、設定パネル全体の見た目と操作の作法も整えています。

Fix

June 26, 2026

v2.3.1 Release Notes

We extended the Editorial (ruled) design language introduced in v2.3 to the remaining screens, and refreshed the AI chat with a simpler, quieter presentation. We also fixed several bugs in the custom command builder and polished details across the bot detail view, card lists, and loading placeholders.

Feature

June 23, 2026

v2.3 Release Notes

We added AI responses to your bot — keyword auto-replies, ticket replies, and always-on responses in your server — and you can now pick from new models, including Claude. This major update also redesigns the dashboard around a warm magenta palette, brings image cards and notification settings to leveling, adds role retention (Sticky Roles) that restores roles when a member rejoins, custom-command functions (subroutines), and more.

Feature

June 10, 2026

v2.2 Release Notes

We launched the "BotShader AI" chat assistant in the dashboard and added a Discord Components V2 builder to custom commands. This major update also adds two new modules — a calculator (/calc) and currency conversion (/currency) — upgrades modal forms (sendModal) to all 7 field types, and lets you open BotShader AI from anywhere in the dashboard. It also brings array (list) variables and random nodes, persistent components, bot favorites, and improved log-message translations.

Fix

v2.1.1 Release Notes

Fixes for emoji-clone and giveaway, plus emergency maintenance (about two minutes, zero-downtime) that resolved a database issue. UI improvements include direct token entry during bot creation and a more stable sidebar.

Feature

May 23, 2026

v2.1 Release Notes

The dashboard gains cross-command toggling, a redesigned dropdown menu, command-name input validation, and option default values. We also fixed probability-branch and object-variable expansion bugs in the bot runtime, and added overload detection plus performance improvements for a more stable experience.

Feature

v2.0 Release Notes

To mark the start of Phase 2, you can now define and publish your own slash commands directly from the flow editor. Command names, options, and responses are all customizable with no code.
