 DiscordChatExpoter CLI accepts the `DISCORD_TOKEN` environment variable as a fallback for the `--token` option. You can set this variable either with the `--env` Docker option or with a combination of the `--env-file` Docker option and a `.env` file.

-When bounding volumes between the container and the host, files mirrored from the Docker container will be owned by the Docker user (in most setups this is `root`).

 # Changelog
 
+## v2.42.4 (16-Nov-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Switched from .NET 7.0 to .NET 8.0. If running on Windows, the application should update all required prerequisites automatically. Alternatively, you can download the latest version of the runtime for your system [here](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0).
+- CLI changes:
+  - Added a message that is displayed when the application is running with the output stream redirected, informing the user that they will not get rich progress reporting in this mode.
+- GUI changes:
+  - Changed the presentation of the "Reuse assets" and "Assets path" options, such that the corresponding controls are now disabled if the "Download assets" option is not enabled.
+- HTML changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where exporting a channel with a custom assets path could result in an HTML output that did not render properly in Firefox.
+
+## v2.42.3 (09-Nov-2023)
+
+- JSON changes:
+  - Added the `video` field to the embed object, which may contain additional information about an embedded video resource.
+- CSV changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where the `Date` field was incorrectly formatted. Now, the dates follow the `ISO 8601` standard.
+
+## v2.42.2 (26-Oct-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where trying to export a channel that contained application interactions with empty command names crashed the application.
+
+## v2.42.1 (19-Oct-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Improved the error message shown when trying to export a forum channel. Such channels cannot be exported directly, you need to fetch and export their individual threads instead.
+- CLI changes:

 ## v2.42 (12-Oct-2023)
