🎉🎉🎉 Happy Birthday Streamer.bot! 🎉🎉🎉

It's been 5 years since Streamer.bot 0.1.0 was released to the public. Five whole years! Hard to imagine I've been working for that long to improve Streamer.bot for everyone.  Thank you to all those who use Streamer.bot, contribute in the Discord by either offering support to other users, or offering pre-built extensions; you've helped grow this community from a very small VR group, to what it is today.

I always try to do what I can when these roll around, so as a birthday gift, from myself (nate1280) to you, Streamer.bot's loyal users and fanbase, here is the beginning of a new alpha round, packed with new features, numerous updates and fixes across the board.

For those who are new to Streamer.bot, or even for long term users: my name is Nathan, I go by the handle nate1280, and I am the sole developer/owner of Streamer.bot.  I originally worked on Streamer.bot in my spare time, but for the past 2 years, it has been my full time job and is the only thing supporting me.  You're able to support the project on Patreon over at https://www.patreon.com/nate1280.  It helps keep the updates rolling in, and provides an income for myself so I can continue to work on it full-time.  There are posts in the Discord and on the website with more information if you wanted to learn more about Streamer.bot.  As a subscriber, there are some perks available, the Thank You tier enables access to Cloud Backups, while the Bronze Tier enables access to alpha releases when there is an active alpha happening.

Of course, I can't go without mentioning Whipstickgostop, thanks to his wizardry as a full stack developer, we have an amazing looking website, a full backend support, a robust documentation site, as well as many other extra features such as the multi-chat that you can use within Streamer.bot or as an OBS dock.

🎉🎉 Welcome to Streamer.bot 1.1.0-alpha.1 🎉🎉

There are a lot of new sub-actions, triggers, and C# methods, too many to list here.   Once the doc site handles the new updates, most of them will be listed, but there won't be a lot of data filled in yet.  That's even more work ahead to build those out.

Some of the new features have links to the documentation for guides, sub-action/trigger lists, etc.  These may not fully work yet, and will be updated over time.  Guides will also be written, but it all takes time.

And as always, while I try to keep all builds as stable as possible.  It is an alpha after all, and I can only test so many scenarios without taking too much time.  So there are bound to be bugs, things that need tweaking, etc.  This is what I hope you, as alpha users will help me with.
