For the command extension, the following changed:

• Context is no longer slotted to facilitate setting dynamic attributes.

v0.14.3

Bug Fixes

• Fix crash when dealing with MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVE
• Fix incorrect buckets for reactions.

v0.14.2

• Add new statuses for :class:`Status`.

  • :attr:`Status.dnd` (aliased with :attr:`Status.do_not_disturb`) for Do Not Disturb.
  • :attr:`Status.invisible` for setting your status to invisible (please see the docs for a caveat).

• Deprecate :meth:`Client.change_status`

  • Use :meth:`Client.change_presence` instead for better more up to date functionality.

• Add :attr:`Member.server_permissions` to get a member's server permissions without their channel specific overwrites.

• Add :meth:`Client.get_user_info` to retrieve a user's info from their ID.

• Add a new Player property, Player.error to fetch the error that stopped the player.

  • To help with this change, a player's after function can now take a single parameter denoting the current player.

• Add support for server verification levels.

  • Adds a new enum called :class:`VerificationLevel`.
  • This enum can be used in :meth:`Client.edit_server` under the verification_level keyword argument.
  • Adds a new attribute in the server, :attr:`Server.verification_level`.

• Add :attr:`Server.voice_client` shortcut property for :meth:`Client.voice_client_in`.

  • This is technically old (was added in v0.10.0) but was undocumented until v0.12.0.

For the command extension, the following are new:

• Add custom emoji converter.
• All default converters that can take IDs can now convert via ID.
• Add coroutine support for Bot.command_prefix.
• Add a method to reset command cooldown.

Bug Fixes

• Fix bug that caused the library to not work with the latest websockets library.
• Fix bug that leaked keep alive threads (:dpy-issue:`309`)
• Fix bug that disallowed :class:`ServerRegion` from being used in :meth:`Client.edit_server`.
• Fix bug in :meth:`Channel.permissions_for` that caused permission resolution to happen out of order.
• Fix bug in :attr:`Member.top_role` that did not account for same-position roles.

v0.11.0

This is a minor bug fix update that comes with a gateway update (v5 -> v6).

Breaking Changes

• Permissions.change_nicknames has been renamed to :attr:`Permissions.change_nickname` to match the UI.

New Features

• Add the ability to prune members via :meth:`Client.prune_members`.

• Switch the websocket gateway version to v6 from v5. This allows the library to work with group DMs and 1-on-1 calls.

• Add :attr:`AppInfo.owner` attribute.

• Add :class:`CallMessage` for group voice call messages.

• Add :class:`GroupCall` for group voice call information.

• Add :attr:`Message.system_content` to get the system message.

• Add the remaining VIP servers and the Brazil servers into :class:`ServerRegion` enum.

• Add stderr argument to :meth:`VoiceClient.create_ffmpeg_player` to redirect stderr.

• The library now handles implicit permission resolution in :meth:`Channel.permissions_for`.

• Add :attr:`Server.mfa_level` to query a server's 2FA requirement.

• Add :attr:`Permissions.external_emojis` permission.

• Add :attr:`Member.voice` attribute that refers to a :class:`VoiceState`.

  • For backwards compatibility, the member object will have properties mirroring the old behaviour.

For the command extension, the following are new:

• Command cooldown system with the cooldown decorator.
• UserInputError exception for the hierarchy for user input related errors.

Bug Fixes

• :attr:`Client.email` is now saved when using a token for user accounts.
• Fix issue when removing roles out of order.
• Fix bug where discriminators would not update.
• Handle cases where HEARTBEAT opcode is received. This caused bots to disconnect seemingly randomly.

For the command extension, the following bug fixes apply:

• Bot.check decorator is actually a decorator not requiring parentheses.
• Bot.remove_command and Group.remove_command no longer throw if the command doesn't exist.
• Command names are no longer forced to be lower().
• Fix a bug where Member and User converters failed to work in private message contexts.
• HelpFormatter now ignores hidden commands when deciding the maximum width.

v0.10.0

For breaking changes, see 0.10.0 migration. The breaking changes listed there will not be enumerated below. Since this version is rather a big departure from v0.9.2, this change log will be non-exhaustive.

New Features

• The library is now fully asyncio compatible, allowing you to write non-blocking code a lot more easily.
• The library now fully handles 429s and unconditionally retries on 502s.
• A new command extension module was added but is currently undocumented. Figuring it out is left as an exercise to the reader.
• Two new exception types, :exc:`Forbidden` and :exc:`NotFound` to denote permission errors or 404 errors.
• Added :meth:`Client.delete_invite` to revoke invites.
• Added support for sending voice. Check :class:`VoiceClient` for more details.
• Added :meth:`Client.wait_for_message` coroutine to aid with follow up commands.
• Added :data:`version_info` named tuple to check version info of the library.
• Login credentials are now cached to have a faster login experience. You can disable this by passing in cache_auth=False when constructing a :class:`Client`.
• New utility function, :func:`discord.utils.get` to simplify retrieval of items based on attributes.
• All data classes now support !=, ==, hash(obj) and str(obj).
• Added :meth:`Client.get_bans` to get banned members from a server.
• Added :meth:`Client.invites_from` to get currently active invites in a server.
• Added :attr:`Server.me` attribute to get the :class:`Member` version of :attr:`Client.user`.
• Most data classes now support a hash(obj) function to allow you to use them in set or dict classes or subclasses.
• Add :meth:`Message.clean_content` to get a text version of the content with the user and channel mentioned changed into their names.
• Added a way to remove the messages of the user that just got banned in :meth:`Client.ban`.
• Added :meth:`Client.wait_until_ready` to facilitate easy creation of tasks that require the client cache to be ready.
• Added :meth:`Client.wait_until_login` to facilitate easy creation of tasks that require the client to be logged in.
• Add :class:`discord.Game` to represent any game with custom text to send to :meth:`Client.change_status`.
• Add :attr:`Message.nonce` attribute.
• Add :meth:`Member.permissions_in` as another way of doing :meth:`Channel.permissions_for`.
• Add :meth:`Client.move_member` to move a member to another voice channel.
• You can now create a server via :meth:`Client.create_server`.
• Added :meth:`Client.edit_server` to edit existing servers.
• Added :meth:`Client.server_voice_state` to server mute or server deafen a member.
• If you are being rate limited, the library will now handle it for you.
• Add :func:`on_member_ban` and :func:`on_member_unban` events that trigger when a member is banned/unbanned.

Performance Improvements

• All data classes now use __slots__ which greatly reduce the memory usage of things kept in cache.
• Due to the usage of asyncio, the CPU usage of the library has gone down significantly.
• A lot of the internal cache lists were changed into dictionaries to change the O(n) lookup into O(1).
• Compressed READY is now on by default. This means if you're on a lot of servers (or maybe even a few) you would receive performance improvements by having to download and process less data.
• While minor, change regex from \d+ to [0-9]+ to avoid unnecessary unicode character lookups.

Bug Fixes

• Fix bug where guilds being updated did not edit the items in cache.
• Fix bug where member.roles were empty upon joining instead of having the @everyone role.
• Fix bug where :meth:`Role.is_everyone` was not being set properly when the role was being edited.
• :meth:`Client.logs_from` now handles cases where limit > 100 to sidestep the discord API limitation.
• Fix bug where a role being deleted would trigger a ValueError.
• Fix bug where :meth:`Permissions.kick_members` and :meth:`Permissions.ban_members` were flipped.
• Mentions are now triggered normally. This was changed due to the way discord handles it internally.
• Fix issue when a :class:`Message` would attempt to upgrade a :attr:`Message.server` when the channel is a :class:`Object`.
• Unavailable servers were not being added into cache, this has been corrected.
