1.2.0

Overview

It's been a while, but it's finally time for the 1.2.0 release of RTByte!

There's a couple of new features for you to play around with in this release, and it also marks the switch over to our new logo, made by @ArtsyDiego! Along with this change, we've also revamped our website to use Vue (@vuejs)! This will make it possible for us to start work on the server dashboard, which will effectively eliminate the need to use commands for server settings.

We've introduced a Twitch notification feature, letting servers subscribe to notifications for when a Twitch channel goes live (pinging @everyone, changing to an @role in the future). Please refer to the -twitchnotifs command in your servers to set this up 💯.

We also improved the way message attachments function for our features that include message embeds. These will now include any potential video files, if applicable. Should a message have more than one image embed, or if a video embed is too big to attach, the bot will also inform you of it.

Other than that, this is a bugfix-heavy release, and that trend will likely continue as we've received an open-source license for Sentry (@getsentry), which lets us more easily monitor, track, and diagnose any errors the bot may run into.

For those of you who are interested in the technical side, keep reading below.

Changes

• Fixed a bug where the star top command was returning "none found" (75c1ac2, e72835b).
• Fixed some inconsistencies in the guildCreate and inviteCreate events (b5bca3f, fe21aca).
• Reverted a previous change to the roles command, that let users type parts of the name instead of the whole thing. This caused the bot to not properly look for the roles (022e300, fb86c19, b56ad57).
• Added a new twitch notification feature, that lets servers set up notifications for Twitch channels going live, along with a management command for it (08c6721, cf3b272, 61b62d8, 194d410, c6ebe75, 706724e, c8444e5, 4ce5775, dd71223).
• Fixed a bug where various features would introduce duplicate entries or corrupted database entries (a43d0e0, 40d59d3).
• Updated the default sort (no args given) for the modhistory command to display all cases for a guild, instead of all cases for the member sending the command (1bfdca8).
• Fixed a bug where the modhistory command would fail if the bot couldn't fetch the user for some reason (cf2a921).
• Fixed a bug where the messageUpdate event would fail if the bot didn't have permission to view the audit log, despite that not being a requirement (fb1bdf6).
• Added missing settings (prefix, language) to the settings command (5f58ffa).
• Switching over from hosting some images used in the bot to more appropriate sources (07f193e).
• Added error logging to the global log. This feature will likely be deprecated in the future, as we've switched over to a new error monitoring method (keep reading) (4a8b7e3).
• Fixed a bug where the guild boost event would try to send even if there wasn't a log channel configured (086b040).
• Fixed a bug where the moderation action log would try to send even if there wasn't a log channel configured (c8fee95).
• Added some checks to the channelDelete and roleDelete events to check if the channel or role is configured to be anything in the server settings, and removes the setting if so (7d15c4b).
• Fixed a bug where the category field would display on channelCreate and channelDelete events even if the channel wasn't in a category (2cc2282).
• Added some further checks to a bunch of features to make sure the channel they're trying to send to is available before trying to send the message (e45dfd3, 7a31f5c, 6ba11b5, 09a83f2).
• Removed the klasa-member-gateway dependency as it was deprecated and changed the way a couple of features work to make up for this (4e8d356, e4120bf, 508dfe5, cd056aa).
• Added better message attachment checks to all relevant features, with support for video and multiple image attachments (5caa9d6, 1e2e155, fd95e0f, a51629b).
• Fixed a bug where if a message had gotten on the starboard, but then had its stars removed, it couldn't be starred again (72d972e).
• Removed the call command, as Discord introduced native video and screenshare calls in servers (b1776ee).
• Upgraded to the latest version of Discord.js and Klasa v0.5.0 (2cc77fb, 8ea0a86, 9e77e65, 2590774, c3c90f4, eedff4f, 4be881e, bc48802, 11c6058).
• Added a nice looking partner- or verified badge to the serverinfo command for servers with partner- or verified status (1f4dca6, 37f3ff8, 1aee254).
• Fixed a bug where the user notification setting wasn't being properly updated using the moderation command (3873f7a).
• Fixed a bug where the unban command would generate duplicate unban logs, and the softban command would generate an unnecessary unban log (ffb6ad4).
• Fixed a bug where embeds would break if the message content was too long, causing the command or function to not execute properly (2d25539).
• Fixed a bug where various management commands would keep executing code despite not being supposed to, leading to unintended setting changes (b841338, 73fdda7).
• Introduced error logging through Sentry, allowing us to better track and diagnose bugs (db4608f, 9253b36, 2ebe826, 706ddc3, 4acc395).
• Locked the klasa-dashboard-hooks dependency to a specific commit, as releases after it aren't working properly (4acc395).
• Fixed a bug where the messageUpdate event would break if a message didn't have content before the edit (i.e. just a picture, for example), but had some content added (9dd0207).
• Fixed a bug where the logs command wasn't parsing the user input correctly (d40ead8).
• Fixed a bug where the bot would error out if it couldn't send a message to a user upon a moderation action (59aa852).
• Added extra guild initialization checks to ensure no duplication is happening (01ee305).
• Lang updates & linting (b5bca3f, 022e300, fb86c19, 08c6721, cf3b272, 61b62d8, cf2a921, 5f58ffa, 9dfd9e0, 4ce5775, 4a8b7e3, 7d15c4b, e45dfd3, 7a31f5c, 6ba11b5, 6290b91, fe21aca, 5caa9d6, daa6e1a, 3b7b961, b1776ee, a4e4394, d71d8ea, 5521f85, 6817daa, 8a37322).

1.1.4

Overview

Time for a new release - RTByte 1.1.4 is now live!

This release contains a bunch of stuff that we're very excited to be able to release.
First of all, we've now implemented a pinboard feature which takes a message that's pinned, posts it in a designated #pinboard channel, and unpins the message from the channel it was posted. In practice, this allows for unlimited pins instead of the 50 per channel set by Discord. This feature can be managed using the pinboard command and allows admins and mods to set the feature to ignore certain channels. Accompanying this is a pin command, letting users fetch a random pinned message (optionally from a specified user).

The starboard feature and star command have also been upgraded to match the pinboard and pin command. You can manage the starboard using the starboard command, and now also allows you to set it to ignore certain channels. Support for optionally specifying a member has also been added to the star command.

We've updated most timestamps to a more human-readable format where logical to do so. Instead of displaying the timestamp, it'll now display as "X time ago" or "In X time". Member leave logs have also been updated to show when the member first joined the server.

The roles command has been made a lot user-friendly as well. Users no longer have to type out the whole role name or exactly like it's spelled. If you for example have a joinable role called "cool role", users will be able to type -roles join cool.

Lastly, the conf command has been deprecated and we've instead implemented feature-specific server management commands as detailed below. Please navigate on over to https://rtbyte.xyz/commands/ and click through to Management to see how to use the commands. If you just type the command name (i.e. -filters for example), each command will default to the show subcommand and will display the current settings for the feature. Furthermore, the custom command creation commands have been switched from createcmd, deletecmd, and updatecmd to customcmds and works like the other management commands.

For those of you who are interested in the technical side, keep reading below.

1.1.3

Overview

It's been a while, but RTByte 1.1.3 has finally been released - we've been very busy developing new features for you to use since January, and we even launched our website (https://rtbyte.xyz)! There's an absolute ton of features in this release, introducing completely new server log features. We've also refined the ban and kick logs, hooking into Discord's audit log system to allow right-click bans and kicks to be logged properly.

Furthermore, the verboseLogging configuration option has been deprecated with this release. Any information that previously needed you to have enabled it will now show up by default. With this, the serverinfo command also won't display the roles, channels, and emojis visually. If you'd like to still be able to see this, make sure to enable the new configuration option commands.serverinfoExtendedOutput.

Lastly, along with our new website (https://rtbyte.xyz), we've also now been listed on the Discord bot list top.gg!

1.1.2

Overview

It's that time again, RTByte 1.1.2 has been released. This release brings a couple of new features, but the biggest change is, again, in the backend. With 1.1.2, we've switched over to the Klasa Settings branch, which improves on the code that controls server configurations.

New features include stuff like a star command, letting users fetch a random starred message or the top starred one. A call command, letting users generate a link to use video chat in server voice chats has also been added. More information has been added to commands such as serverinfo and rolefinfo, with the former of the two now listing how many members could be pruned, and the other one now listing the amount of members with the role.

For those of you who are interested in the technical side, keep reading below.

1.1.1

Overview

RTByte 1.1.1 is, for the most part, focused on fixing bugs, but it does introduce a good amount of new features still.

New features include stuff like a starboard feature, as well as Discord status and weather commands. Furthermore, it also changes the look and type of info you get from the userinfo command. It streamlines things for users and moderators by adding default behaviors to commands that include subcommands, and this is something we'll keep an eye out for with any future commands.

Other than that, there are a couple of minor changes under the hood that contribute to making the bot run quicker and with less risk of it returning an error.

For those of you who are interested in the technical side, keep reading below.

Changes

• Adds new starboard feature, letting members vote on messages to be pinned to a channel (52ef3f4, 1d29e30, 79e8634).
• Adds support for custom statuses in the userinfo command (52835c8, 4594750).
• Adds new discordstatus command, letting users check the current status of Discord, and lets them know if there are any ongoing incidents (9567fb7).
• Updates the userinfo command to show more info for user presence. Examples include game info and Spotify current song info (f62c0ec, 0807ef4).
• Adds new APIs section to the bot configuration file, with variables for Genius, Google, and DarkSky (c89ffd6, 8e50238).
• Adds new weather command, letting users show weather info for any given location (28963dc, 4b4fae3).
• Updates the roles command to default to the list subcommand. Should users not specify which subcommand they want to use, it will simply list any joinable roles on the server (ca94ae5).
• Fixes a bug where the enlarge command was not able to be disabled on a server by its' mod team (25f0602).
• Updates the conf command to default to the show subcommand. Should a moderator not specify which subcommand they want to use, it will show the server configuration (96259bc).
• Fixes multiple bugs where commands that should have been able to be ran in DMs weren't (467559a).
• Adds a monthly reboot task (8e636cd).
• Adds a configuration option for servers to set their preferred measurement units (metric/imperial). This affects the weather command and any future commands featuring measurements (1d942f8).
• Adds a configuration option for servers to set thier preferred timezone. This affects any commands that feature a date as part of their response such as userinfo, serverinfo, and the like (d9a9502).
• Lang updates & linting (c596a63, 52ef3f4, 7e94a03, e9a14ee, 52835c8, 8ded958, 4bf09ac, 9567fb7, 71db7f9, 28963dc, 4594750).

1.1.0

Overview

1.1.0 is a big one. I originally intended for this to be release 1.0.4, but with the huge amount of new features it felt like a good opportunity to bump us up.

There's a lot included in this one. Custom commands are now a thing, with full guild log integration. RTByte will log any creations, deletions, and edits of custom commands, and if you have the commandRun log enabled in your server, you'll get a log for all the custom commands ran in your guild.

Furthermore, there's a pretty good amount of bugfixes in this one. Some things were legitimately not working, and some things had simply been overlooked.

Lastly, this build adds support for some nice new ways to run commands. We've implemented the username, membername, and channelname arguments, which are publically available in the Klasa Pieces repository. This changes the usage requirements for a ton of commands, removing the need for an @mention or #mention. You'll be able to take moderator action against a user by simply typing part of, or their whole username.

For those of you who are interested in the technical side, keep reading below.

1.0.3

Overview

1.0.3 removes the requirement for users to specify a reason in moderator actions, adds some new command, changes a few things around, and fixes some minor bugs.

Furthermore, we launched a Ko-Fi page for the project. If you'd like to support us and the ongoing project, but don't know how to code, donating to us through Ko-Fi is a great way to help keep the project going. Any donations made through Ko-Fi will be used to pay for our server costs.
