v6.0.0

Feature Updates

This release marks the IHostBuilder extensions as obsolete and replaces them with IServiceCollection alternatives (Closes #29). This allows for easier support of .NET 7+ IHostApplicationBuilder environments. The previous extensions will continue to work for the v6 lifecycle, however if you're interested in moving to the new extensions there's one of two options:

1. Move to the new Host.CreateApplicationBuilder-based configuration model (Recommended):

Before

var host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder()   
    .ConfigureDiscordHost((context, config) =>
    {
        config.SocketConfig = new DiscordSocketConfig
        {
            LogLevel = LogSeverity.Verbose,
            AlwaysDownloadUsers = true,
            MessageCacheSize = 200
        };

        config.Token = context.Configuration["token"];
    })
    .UseCommandService((context, config) =>
    {
        config.DefaultRunMode = RunMode.Async;
        config.CaseSensitiveCommands = false;
    })
    .UseInteractionService((context, config) =>
    {
        config.LogLevel = LogSeverity.Info;
        config.UseCompiledLambda = true;
    })
    .ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
    {
        services.AddHostedService<CommandHandler>();
        services.AddHostedService<BotStatusService>();
        services.AddHostedService<LongRunningService>();
    }).Build();
  
await host.RunAsync();

After

var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddDiscordHost((config, _) =>
{
    config.SocketConfig = new DiscordSocketConfig
    {
        LogLevel = LogSeverity.Verbose,
        AlwaysDownloadUsers = true,
        MessageCacheSize = 200,
        GatewayIntents = GatewayIntents.All
    };

    config.Token = builder.Configuration["Token"]!;
});

builder.Services.AddCommandService((config, _) =>
{
    config.DefaultRunMode = RunMode.Async;
    config.CaseSensitiveCommands = false;
});

builder.Services.AddInteractionService((config, _) =>
{
    config.LogLevel = LogSeverity.Info;
    config.UseCompiledLambda = true;
});

builder.Services.AddHostedService<CommandHandler>();
builder.Services.AddHostedService<InteractionHandler>();
builder.Services.AddHostedService<BotStatusService>();
builder.Services.AddHostedService<LongRunningService>();

var host = builder.Build();

await host.RunAsync();

2. Or, call the new extensions within .ConfigureServices((context, services) => //...):

.ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
    {
        services.AddDiscordHost((config, _) =>
        {
           // ...
        });
    })

• Improved the validation message when an invalid token is provided. (Closes #30)
• Minimum Discord.Net version is now v3.12.
