Changelog

Review previous changelogs in regard to newly added bot features and when they were documented on the website.

Migrating to Version 4​

We have migrated all user data to the new version. You should not need to reconfigure anything and should be able to continue using the bot as you do today. although some command names have changed.

Noteworthy user changes​

• Easier onboarding with a /setup command.
• Support for up to five images in suggestions.
• Anonymous interactions are now opt in. Moderators are no longer anonymous by default and have to set anonymously:True instead.
• Guild configuration has been massively simplified and is now behind one command: /configure guild. See here for more info.
• Users now have a specific configuration command. See here for more info.
• The suggestion embed has been revamped. More changes may occur based on feedback, but now it's way more feature packed.
• We now use pop-up modals for things such as /suggest. If a slash command doesn't feature requests for info it is likely going to ask for it later.
• The entire bot is localized and can be configured at both the user and guild level.
• More configuration options and slash command changes.
• More ways to resolve suggestions on top of approve and reject. See /resolve.

Technical changes​

• Rewrote the bot in Hikari
• Moved to using Discords components version two for UI items instead of embeds
• Moved from MongoDB to Postgres
• We now actually have a background job worker
• OpenTelemetry for all commands

We recognize this is a lot of changes and some may differ from existing functionality, but we recommend giving it a go. If you have any feedback please join our discord and let us know.
