**===== THIS UPDATE CONTAINS BREAKING CHANGES =====**
# ⚡ Fyre Updates Changelog: March 10th - April 20th (2026)
## Message Templates v2
The message template system has been rebuilt from the ground up. Now, it follows Discord's components v2 system.
Now, Fyre has a simple template builder, and far better support for mentions, emojis, gifs, and more.
To start, all old templates are now accessible with the `/templates-old` commands.
All old templates will need to be migrated using the `/templates convert` command.
If you don't migrate your templates, they won't be rendered, and Fyre will fall back to the default ones.
Going forward, Fyre will focus on implementing message templates everywhere possible.
Starting with more command responses, and eventually message automations for joins, leaves, boosts, role changes, etc.
### [Message Transcription](https://fyre.bot/docs/modules/transcribe)
Fyre now supports transcribing messages in multiple languages. To transcribe a message, use the "Transcribe" context command on any message.
### Other changes in this update
* Added basic message translation ("Translate" context command, only supports translating into English).
* Added example usage to certain command error messages.
* Added the ability to view your VIP config by using `/vip-admin config` with no options.
* The steal command got smarter, and now supports replying to others' messages to steal an emoji.
* Switched to a different date/time library (shouldn't be noticeable, minor speed improvements to calculations).
* Added a global error catch to all commands, so if Fyre encounters an unknown error, it'll let you know instead of failing to respond.
### New Landing Page
We have a brand new landing page now live at [https://fyre.bot](https://fyre.bot).
All of Fyre's documentation is now available at [https://fyre.bot/docs](https://fyre.bot/docs) instead of the previous domain.
Requests to [https://docs.fyre.bot](https://docs.fyre.bot) will be automatically redirected to our new site.
### Greatly Improved Docs
Following the new landing page, hundreds of small changes have been made to the docs.
Featuring a new font, improved colors, and a uniform layout for most modules' docs pages.
Additionally, many icons have been changed, and icons have been added to headers on some doc pages.
Finally, we added a new "Changelog" page (at the top of the sidebar)
where these changelog announcements will also be posted.
### Other changes in this update
* You can now change question types when updating form and ticket category questions.
* The `close-on-leave` ticket category option is now **enabled by default**,
and was moved from `/categories update advanced` to `/categories update general`.
* Jail and ticket DM messages have been overhauled with a slimmer, more modern design.
* Multiple bugs with the VIP module's reactions have been fixed.
* A bug with avatar rendering on the `/whois` panel has been fixed.
* The forms module got **a lot** of love with major overhauls to the user experience
(including new radio and checkbox components for select type questions).
* Response validations for form submissions were fixed, preventing certain edge cases from failing.
* Added `>rcreate`, `>rupdate`, and `>rdelete` aliases for their slash command counterparts.
* Improved GIF detection logic for channel media mode.
### Other changes in this update, part 2
* Added "user" question type for ticket category questions,
resolving to a user and automatically sending the whois panel in the opened ticket.
* Added an upsell for getting a trial license when attempting to use Fyre in an unlicensed server.
* Updated text command option validation to have much better error messages.
* Removed `/lock` and `/unlock` channel commands due to high error rates.
* Added `/lock` command to lock existing jails.
* Added in-place jailing for existing tickets.
Fyre will automatically convert existing tickets into jails if a member is jailed inside that ticket.
* Removed lots of old debug code slowing things down.
* Added common misspell aliases to VIP commands.
* Added new "VIP Guide" to docs with help button on VIP panel.
### VIP Module Introduction
Also known as boost roles on other bots, Fyre's VIP module allows a server to create up to 5 VIP tiers.
Each tier can come with a custom role, ping auto reactions, and keyword auto reactions.
You can also allow members to share their VIP role with other members via a customizable member limit.
To learn more, or how to get started, visit the [VIP Module Docs](/docs/modules/vip).
### Activity Module Introduction
Fyre now has an activity module, allowing server admins and owners to compile charts of staff activity in 3 categories:
tickets claimed, message counts, and minutes in voice calls.
You can compile a chart with up to 90 days of history.
Tickets will always work via `/activity tickets`,
but message counts and voice minutes need to be enabled via `/config activity`.
Fyre will only record minutes in voice, and the count of members' messages with the relevant settings enabled.
Message content and other information **isn't** recorded.
Voice and message recording are opt-in by role, if no roles are whitelisted in `/config activity`, no activity will be recorded.
### Jail Module Update
Added the ability to create jails as locked (use the "locked" option).
Locked jails will require a member with the same role or higher to unjail, or a member with the "Administrator" permission.
### Other changes in this update
* Added the ability to create private VCs linked to tickets (`/ticket-vc`, `>tvc`).
By default only ticket staff can create VCs, this can be changed via `/categories update permissions`.
* Added button selection to `/categories greeting` where you can choose which buttons
appear under the ticket greeting embed (supporting the new "Create VC" button).
* Improved display of ticket history in `/history tickets`.
* Added `>unafk` and `>setafk` commands for admins to have fun with the AFK system.
* Added required roles to auto responses, allowing admins to lock auto-responses behind certain roles.
* Fixed various issues with command responses pinging roles or users unintentionally.
* Added new `/channels config` command where you can update multiple channel modules at once (auto purge, auto threading, media, etc).
* Added "allow-gifs" option to channel media mode (`/channels media`).
* Added the ability to directly give users permissions via `/permissions`.
* Improved ticket panel creation experience via `/ticket-panel`.
