V4

Version 4 is the second major rewrite of Necrobot. The goal is to push the architecture, and development, to a nearly professional level using what I've learned since the last rewrite, 4 years ago.

Main Features

Bot Architecture

• Strip down the DB class to only the methods that are actually shared
• Rework utility functions and attach them to the bot
• Allow for utility functions to be reloaded hot
• Implement cooldowns fully
• Implement Verified Events to strengthen blacklist
• Make use of Views instead of react menus
• Leverage advanced converters (Greedy, Optional)
• New, paginated, help page (embedded?)
• General update of commands

Development

• Mandatory linter checks enforced by GitHub
• Some level of regression testing
• Some level of unit testing
• A proper git-flow (feature branch -> develop -> master)
• Automated deployment once merged back into master
• Update requirements including using d.py v2
• Security policy, code scanning alerts
• Github Actions

Potential New Features

• Bot Dashboard
• Dockerised
• Redis cache
• More customizability in a simpler way
