V2.3.0.1

Eval actually works now, smh.

V2.3

5 years ago

End-User changes:

MentionRole command
- Mention a role if it can, or make a role mentionable, @ it, and make it non-mentionable again.
RoleColor command
- Change the color of a Role. Note that it will not work if you're doing it by name and the name contains spaces.
Bot owners now bypass server-specific permissions.
- This is for helping users if they're having a hard time setting it up. I can assure you this will not be abused by me on public Volte.
Quote command overload to allow quoting from other channels.
- Usage: $quote {channelId} {messageId} Note that the Command command doesn't show this overload.
You can now blacklist guild owners. Previously this was disabled and commented out because it was buggy.
You can now add self roles to the self role list that have spaces in their name. How did I overlook that?
SrA/SrR aliases added to the SelfRoleAdd and SelfRoleRemove command respectively.
Some wording changed around.
Now has a proper license: MIT.
When commands fail, they now show more detailed information, such as the exact error that occured.

Developer changes:

Note, that when C# 8/.NET Core 3.0 is in public release, Volte will be switching to target that framework. Self-hosters and contributors will need to update their Runtime/SDK.
Volte.Core.* moved to Volte.* as Core was redundant as hell.
Volte.Runtime moved to Volte.
GitHubService marked as Obsolete.
Deleted Volte.Utils.Util and refactored accordingly.
EmbedExtensions Embed/EmbedBuilder#SendTo was changed to SendToAsync to properly signify that it's async.
Services rely on Dependency Injection for instantiating other Services rather than direct ServiceProvider#GetRequiredService<T>() calls.
Services now have a Service attribute so signify they're Services, rather than ~~abusing polymorphism~~ implementing an Interface.
The static helper class Volte.Utils.UserUtil has been removed in favor of extensions on the user object itself.
Getters were put on the EmojiService properties.
Removed redundant null checking in some commands because their respective TypeParser already handled that.
Cleanup some imports.
Redundant checking in Config.cs exported to the _valid variable.
Some if nesting was removed to improve readability.
Type/TypeInfo now has an extension: HasAttribute<T>() where T : System.Attribute.

V2.2.1

5 years ago

This release includes a few additions and changes. AdminRole and ModRole no longer search for a role just by its name. You can now use ID, direct mention, OR name.

ServerAdmin commands
- Change properties of your server! Name, current channel's name, etc.
  - THIS IS INCOMPLETE.
Verification
- Give a user a role when they react with ☑ on a message with a set ID.
  - Configurable with the VerificationRole and VerificationMessage commands.
DiscordServer object refactored to not have as many properties and to instead offload them to separate objects.
- The database will be reset as of the release on public Volte.

V2.2

5 years ago

V2.2 is here!

Prominent Changes:

Economy system removed entirely.
- Levels admin command removed.
- User data is no longer stored. This should decrease overall Database space drastically.
Discord.Commands to Qmmands
- This means that commands that had a space in their name now do NOT.
- Command errors also show more detailed information.
Info command now shows the host machine's OS and .NET Core version.
Spotify command
- Show what you're currently listening to on Spotify.
BigEmoji command
- Give it an emoji to see it as a big image.
Snowflake command
- Give it a Discord snowflake ID to see its creation time.
Quote command
- Give it a message ID (from the current channel) to get a message with the content of that message and a jump URL.
Eval command runs in a new Thread to avoid blocking the main thread.
- Long-Running evals could cause the bot to disconnect from Discord.
Help command divided into subcommands:
- Commands: Show commands for a module.
- Command: Show info for a command.
- Modules: Show available modules.
Commands that were previously in the General module were moved to the Utility module.
Tags are NO LONGER in embeds when you request them. As such, @everyone and @here was replaced to contain a zero-width space so it doesn't ping anyone and doesn't look ugly.
Moderation commands now check if the bot has correct permissions rather than only the command executor.
Mention prefixes are now properly handled.

Backend (Nerdy) Changes:

Main method made async.
Reformatted from end-of-line braces to new line braces.
Some using directives were removed as they were redundant.
GitHub service for the upcoming git commands in the next update.
Boolean TypeParser to allow non-true/false options to be passed in to a command requiring a Boolean value.
- Examples would be "yeah" or "nah".
All Services now implement IService to allow automatically adding Services to the global ServiceProvider.
Commands now show how long they took to execute in the bot console.
ALL async methods returning Task or Task<T> have had Async appended to their name.
- Including commands.
DatabaseService.Database is now a public instance method to use it in Eval without instantiating a new LiteDatabase.
