Winter Release (v2024.1225.0)

Thank you for following along in the isobot project. This is a tagged release (Winter - v2024.1225.0). 🎄

Merry Christmas Everyone!! ☃️

Yessir, it's finally that time of year, where the ground is layered in snow (for most countries), the bottom of the Christmas trees are filled with presents, and the time y'all get to spend memorable time with your closest friends and family.

However these are not the only things of significance here, because on Christmas day, something MAJOR is going to happen, which will possibly define the future of the isobot project.

What's Happening?

Well I know I have said many times in the past that "I won't be developing new features or working on the bot anymore" because of life-related reasons and lack of time on my end. However, this time I am actually serious about this.

Currently for isobot, I have reached the point at which it isn't possible for me to develop any new things anymore, mostly because of these two reasons:

1. I have actually run out of ideas for the bot
2. Due to Discord API constraints, which limits me from making more slash commands

What Now?

Well, this isn't all bad news, because even though I won't be developing any more new features for isobot, this will still have benefits for both me, and you guys.

Personally for me, stopping development is a better thing, so that I won't have to worry about isobot development anymore, and I can focus more on the other things in my life. This will also let me get more time to do the things I love to do, and dropping work on isobot will also allow me to work on new and better stuff.

For you guys, even though isobot won't get any new features, this means that I can focus more on improving all of the current features in isobot for y'all.

I will keep fixing current bugs, improving current feature, and will be making patch updates for isobot. Thanks to this, you'll get faster, more optimized and more stable features that you'll love using.

So stay tuned to the isobot project for many upcoming bug fixes and improvements for the years to come! And again...

🎄 🎁 ☃️ MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🥳 🎉 ✨

Spring Release (v2024.323.0)

Thank you for following along in the isobot project. This is a tagged release (Spring - v2024.323.0). 🌺

Welcome to spring everyone! If any of you are wondering where the isobot winter release went, I think I owe you a small explanation...

So basically, I had to go on break and temporarily stop all my isobot development. Why? Well, its because of school. I was in 10th grade and I had to do my final examinations known as Board Exams, so I had to divert all my attention and energy towards preparing for them. I also did not have any access to GitHub at that time as well. However, all my exams are over now, my 10th grade is finished, and now I'm finally able to develop again!

I sincerely apologize for the cancellation of the Winter Release, however, to make up for it, I have been cooking up some new neat features for isobot that I hope you might like.

I highly recommend going outside and touching grass, anyway happy spring!
