Release v3.5.0

A housekeeping-focused, mostly backend release that ties the WiP q2 2023 changes together with the q3 2023-q2 2024 ones.

Select menus!

Another 2023 Q2 dripfeed update, and this time it brings select menus! For now, they're available in the git repo pulls and git repo issues commands, but they will be rolled out to other commands soon as well :)

First 2023 release!

It's been a while.

I have been and still am extremely busy, and trust me, I would like this release to be V4 as well. Sadly, V4 is still a long way off, as exciting as it is. This release ties all the tiny fixes made over the past months together, as well as adds convenient buttons to some messages sent by the bot to quickly head to the referenced resources.

v3.4.1

Small iterative update. Bumps the Python stack and addresses some release feed issues.

v3.4.0

Another backend update, but this time, it's massive. This absolutely revamps the inner workings of the bot by getting rid of the globs system in favor of a bot-object-centric approach. Another notable change is the removal of launcher.py, and instead running directly from bot.py's __main__ function.

v3.3.0

This release bumps discord.py from 1.7.3 to 2.0.0 and makes the changes necessary to migrate.

v3.2.0

Summary

Some files and directories shouldn't count towards the line count shown in the git loc command - that's what this update addresses!

Details

As a repository collaborator/owner you can now create a JSON file named .gitbot.json at the root of your repo, which will allow you to ignore files and directories which you don't want to be included using fnmatch patterns:

{
	"loc": {
		"ignore": "*.ignored.extension"
	}
}

or

{
	"loc": {
		"ignore": ["*.ignored.extension", "lib/*", "*.py[!cod]"]
	}
}

More on fnmatch

fnmatch is a Python module that powers this GitBot feature. It's similar to the .gitignore syntax which you know and love.
In fnmatch the following wildcards can be used:

Pattern	Meaning
*	matches everything
?	matches any single character
[seq]	matches any character in seq
[!seq]	matches any character not in seq

Notes

The introduction of the .gitbot.json config spec opens the door for many fantastic features to be implemented in the future.

v3.1.5

A tiny, but very much-needed change - GitBot will no longer automatically convert single-line code blocks that are in the middle of a message:

• inside a message:
• by itself:

*note: this applies to servers with git config autoconv codeblock switched ON **note: multiline code blocks will still get converted even inside a message

v3.1.4

This release fixes runtime variable retrieval introduced in v3.1.3 and updates legal links in the git legal command.

v3.1.3

Internal update! Stuff changed:

• extension loading
• bot initialization
• slight changes to release feed code
• directory structure changes
• bound bot command-creation methods now point to the correct classes
