v2.9.0a1

2.9.0a1 - 2022-11-08

Added

• Added bot_managed argument to Client.from_gateway_bot for automatically starting the client when the linked REST bot starts. This defaults to False for backwards compatibility.
• Thread support (including a SfCache[hikari.GuildThreadChannel] concept).

Changed

• Bumped the minimum Hikari version to 2.0.0.dev112.
• SfCache[hikari.GuildChannel] is now SfCache[hikari.PermissibleGuildChannel].
• Allow None to be passed for attachment and attachments to edit response methods.

Fixed

• The ToChannel/to_channel converter now correctly uses the registered async channel cache if set.

Removed

• The project metadata dunder attributes from tanjun.
  importlib.metadata should be used to get this metadata instead.
• replace_attachments argument from the relevant context edit response methods.
