• Fix slash command logging.

0.7.0

Discord.py has died. I will now be maintaining both VoxelBotUtils and a Discord.py fork, Novus. As such, lot of features have thus moved from VBU over to Novus.

• ComponentMessage is now redundant.
• bot_has_permissions is now redundant.
• Slash commands have been merged into Novus.
• Interactions have been moved into Novus as discord.ui.*. The models remain the same.
• All slash command checks (and their errors) have been removed as they will be added to Novus. They have not yet been replicated.
• All cooldown subclasses have been removed, as Novus supports a dynamic cooldown system thanks to Danny. Thanks Danny.
• argparse is no longer interpreted by commands as Danny implemented a flags system which is - quite frankly - better.
• SubcommandGroup and its decorator have been removed, as Novus interprets this dynamically.
• InteractionMessageable has been superceded by discord.Interaction.
• vbu.PartialChannel has been removed. Novus replaces this as discord.Client.get_partial_messageable.
• vbu.TimeFormatter has been removed. Novus replaces this as discord.utils.format_dt.
• Context.is_interaction has been removed. Novus replaces this as discord.abc.Messageable.supports_ephemeral.

Bugs Fixed

0.6.0

Breaking changes this time involve the messages intent becoming priviliged in time. Everything in this is to try to make that transition easier.

New Features

• A new info command and config<BotConfig.bot_info>
• vbu run-shell as a new command line argument<cmd_run_shell>.
• vbu commands [add|remove] as a new command line argument<cmd_commands>.
• A drop-in replacement check for discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions and discord.ext.commands.bot_has_guild_permissions in the form of bot_has_permissions and bot_has_guild_permissions. These perform the original checks for message commands, and are ignored for application commands.

Changed Features

• Fixed ComponentInteractionPayload.update_message not functioning the same as discord.Message.edit.

Bugs Fixed

• Fix error where the paginator says components are undefined.
• Fix slash command arguments not being stripped.
• Fix slash command conversion errors not being dispatched.
