2.0.0.dev118 (2023-04-02)#

Breaking Changes#

  • Refactors to the component builder interfaces which make them flatter:

  • Removed add_to_container from ButtonBuilder, LinkButtonBuilder, InteractiveButtonBuilder, SelectMenuBuilder, ChannelSelectMenuBuilder, and TextInputBuilder; these classes are no-longer generic and no-longer take container in their inits.

  • Replaced TextSelectMenuBuilder.add_to_container with the TextSelectMenuBuilder.parent property. This new property doesn't "finalise" the addition but rather just returns the parent object, or raises if the select menu is an orphan. This change also involves replacing the container parameter in TextSelectMenuBuilder.__init__ with an optional parent parameter.
  • Removed SelectOptionBuilder.add_to_menu; this class isn't generic anymore.
  • TextSelectMenuBuilder.add_option now takes all the option's configuration as parameters and returns Self.
  • Split MessageActionRowBuilder.add_button into .add_interactive_button and .add_link_button. These both now take all the button's configuration as parameters and return Self.
  • MessageActionRowBuilder.add_select_menu now takes all the menu's configuration as parameters and returns Self. The new .add_channel_menu and .add_text_menu methods should be used for adding text and channel menus. Where .add_channel_menu returns Self and .add_text_menu returns a text menu builder with a parent property for getting back to the action row builder.
  • ModalActionRowBuilder.add_text_input now takes all the text input's configuration as parameters and returns Self.
  • min_length and max_length can no-longer be hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED for the text input builder, and default to 0 and 4000 respectively. This change effects both the types accepted by ModalActionRowBuilder.__init__ and the return types of the relevant properties.
  • Removed the emoji_id and emoji_name parameters from LinkButtonBuilder.__init__, and InteractiveButtonBuilder.__init__.
  • Removed the style and custom_id parameters from LinkButtonBuilder.__init__.
  • Removed the url parameter from InteractiveButtonBuilder.__init__. (#1533)
  • Remove previously deprecated functionality:
  • Intents.GUILD_BANS (deprecated alias for Intents.GUILD_MODERATION)
  • ComponentType.SELECT_MENU (deprecated alias for Intents.TEXT_SELECT_MENU)
  • Not passing type through type argument explicitly to MessageActionRowBuilder.add_select_menu (#1535)
  • Renamed StickerPack.banner_hash to StickerPack.banner_asset_id. (#1572)

Deprecation#

  • Renamed TextInputBuilder.required property to TextInputBuilder.is_required. (#1533)
  • Passing CommandChoices instead of AutocompleteChoiceBuilders when making autocomplete responses. (#1539)
  • hikari.impl.bot moved to hikari.impl.gateway_bot. (#1576)

Features#

  • Role.mention now returns "@everyone" for the @everyone role. (#1528)

  • Refactors to the component builder interfaces which make them flatter:

  • hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED can now be passed to TextInputBuilder.set_placeholder and TextInputBuilder.set_value.

  • The standard implementation of a select option builder is now exposed at hikari.impl.special_endpoints.SelectOptionBuilder. (#1533)
  • CommandChoice.name_localizations field and separate AutocompleteChoiceBuilder for use when making autocomplete responses. (#1539)
  • Implement guild role subscriptions. (#1550)
  • Add Role.is_guild_linked_role. (#1551)
  • hikari.iterators.LazyIterator.flatten method for flattening a lazy iterator of synchronous iterables. (#1562)
  • Support sending stickers when creating a message. (#1571)

  • Added several set methods for required values to the builders:

  • CommandBuilder.set_name

  • SlashCommandBuilder.set_description
  • InteractiveButtonBuilder.set_custom_id
  • SelectOptionBuilder.set_label
  • SelectOptionBuilder.set_value
  • SelectMenuBuilder.set_custom_id (#1574)

Bugfixes#

  • emoji= can now be passed to LinkButtonBuilder.__init__ and InteractiveButtonBuilder.__init__ alone without causing serialization issues (and Pyright will now let you pass it). (#1533)
  • Open banner.txts with utf-8 encoding explicitly. (#1545)
  • Pyright will now let you pass role_mentions and user_mentions to InteractionMessageBuilder.__init__. (#1560)
  • Fixed forum channel applied tags not being a sequence of snowflakes. (#1564)
  • Switch to using https://github.com/discord/twemoji for emoji images. (#1568)

  • Fixed sticker pack handling and typing:

  • Fixed deserialization raising when "banner_asset_id" or "cover_sticker_id" weren't included in the payload.

  • StickerPack.banner_asset_id is now correctly typed as Optional[Snowflake].
  • StickerPack.banner_url and StickerPack.make_banner_url both now correctly return None when StickerPack.banner_asset_id is None. (#1572)

2.0.0.dev117 (2023-03-06)#

Breaking Changes#

  • Remove previously deprecated functionality:
  • delete_message_days parameter for ban methods. (#1496)
  • type can no-longer be specified while initialise hikari.impl.special_endpoints.TextSelectMenuBuilder and hikari.impl.special_endpoints.ChannelSelectMenuBuilder. hikari.api.special_endpoints.SelectOptionBuilder no-longer inherits from hikari.api.special_endpoints.ComponentBuilder (but it still has a build method).

2.0.0.dev112 (2022-11-06)#

Breaking Changes#

  • Moved permission overwrite mapping and permission related methods from GuildChannel to PermissibleGuildChannel. (#811)
  • Support v10 attachments edits

This includes breaking changes, features and things to look out for when editing messages: - Modifying attachments in messages that contain embeds with any image attached to them now requires the images of that embed image to be re-passed in the edit or they will be lost. - attachment and attachments in message edits now support passing an Attachment object to keep existing attachments. - replace_attachments has been removed, as it is now the default. - attachment and attachments now supports None to replicate the behaviour of fully removing all attachments. - InteractionMessageBuilder.clear_attachments has been implemented to remove existing attachments from messages.

  • GatewayBot.join's until_close argument removed.
  • GatewayShardImpl.get_user_id is no longer async and will now always be available.
  • GatewayBotAware no longer defines the default parameters for join, start and run. It is left to implementation detail. (#1204)
  • Remove support for ProcessPoolExecutor executor when reading files
  • It is much more efficient to use a threadpool executor for I/O actions like this one
    • Due to the nature of process pool, we were also not able to perform proper chunking when reading off the file (#1273)

      • "priority" packages currently only include heartbeating. (#1204)
  • Implement slash option min/max length fields (#1216)
  • Add mention property to PartialChannel. (#1221)

2.0.0.dev109 (2022-06-26)#

Breaking Changes#

  • Removal of all application commands v1 related fields and endpoints.
  • Discord has completely disabled some endpoints, so we unfortunately can't deprecate them instead of removing them (#1148)

  • Properly garbage collect message references in the cache
    • Properly deserialize PartialMessage.referenced_message as a partial message (#1192)

2.0.0.dev108 (2022-03-27)#

Breaking Changes#

  • hikari.config has now been split up to hikari.api.config and hikari.impl.config to avoid leaking impl detail. This also means that config types are no-longer accessible at the top level (directly on hikari). (#1067)
  • Hide the entity factory's component deserialize methods. (#1074)
  • Remove nonce parameter from create message. This was purposely removed from the bot api documentation inferring that its no-longer officially supported. (#1075)
  • Remove VoiceRegion.is_vip due to Discord no longer sending it. (#1086)
  • Remove store sku related application fields and store channels. (#1092)

Deprecation#

  • Fix incorrect type for ATTACHMENT option values. (#1066)
  • EventManager.get_listeners now correctly defines polymorphic and returns accordingly. (#1094)
  • Take the major param for webhook without token endpoints when handling bucket ratelimits. (#1102)
  • Fix incorrect value for GuildFeature.MORE_STICKERS. (#1989)

2.0.0.dev107 (2022-03-04)#

Features#

  • Added a total_length function to hikari.embeds.Embed

  • Added attachment command option type support. (#1015)
  • Add MESSAGE_CONTENT intent. (#1021)
  • Custom substitutions can now be used in hikari.internal.ux.print_banner. (#1022)

Bugfixes#

  • Fix bucket lock not being released on errors while being acquired, which locked the bucket infinitely (#841)
  • enable_signal_handlers now only defaults to True when the run/start method is called in the main thread. This avoids these functions from always raising when being run in a threaded environment as only the main thread can register signal handlers. (#998)
  • Sub-command options are now properly deserialized in the autocomplete flow to AutocompleteInteractionOption instead of CommandInteractionOption. (#1012)
  • Attempt to reconnect on a gateway TimeoutError. (#1014)
  • Properly close GatewayBot when not fully started. (#1023)
  • The async context manager returned by File.stream now errors on enter if the target file doesn't exist to improve error handling when a file that doesn't exist is sent as an attachment.

The multiprocessing file reader strategy now expands user relative (~) links (like the threaded strategy). (#1046)

2.0.0.dev106 (2022-02-03)#

Breaking Changes#

  • Running the standard interaction server implementation now requires a hikari[server] install.
