DPP - v10.0.9 release

Published by braindigitalis over 2 years ago

We are pleased to announce the release of D++ 10.0.9! This new version further splits out events to give a separate on_slashcommand event, which can be used just to receive chat input type interactions.

Thie release also fixes some deadlocks in the new voice receive code in certain situations, and Discord now support registration of global commands instantly, which means we can use global slash commands in most of our examples.

The changelog is listed below:

DPP - v10.0.7 release

Published by braindigitalis over 2 years ago

Several fixes have been also been made for voice and for synchronous HTTP functions.

The changelog is listed below:

DPP - v10.0.6 release

Published by braindigitalis over 2 years ago

We are pleased to announce the release of D++ 10.0.6! The 10.0.6 release adds a new feature to help speed up REST requests made to Discord whilst still staying in line with rate limits. Where requests fall into different rate limit buckets, they will be parallelised by D++ and run alongside each other. By default, up to 8 buckets can be ran in parallel, you may increase this value either with a parameter to the dpp::cluster constructor, or at runtime using for example bot.get_rest()->add_request_threads(8) which would add a further 8 threads to the pool. Note that you cannot decrease the number of threads at runtime without deleting the dpp::cluster and constructing a new one.

The changelog is listed below:

Release Changelog

♻️ Refactoring

Some QoL tweaks, additional methods for iconhash etc
Improve speed of HTTP requests by parallelising requests, while ensuring that requests for the same rate bucket end up on the same thread in the pool at all times, which prevents rate limits from breaking. Update thread model chart. Note that completed requests are still delivered to the same single thread so that user's programs do not get broken by any assumptions they made about threading model
Tidy up channel flags, pack into smaller type, add unit tests for channel cache/types
Remove these from dev
Remove modernize so it can just check var names

🐞 Bug Fixes

Windows exceptions
Fix spelling error
Fixed "this" could be invalid when callback was called on post_rest because interaction_create_t is not valid after an interaction event returns

✨ New Features

Throw dpp::invalid_token_exception when bad token given at cluster::start - derived from dpp::rest_exception so not a breaking change
Allow users to specify number of threads for requests and even scale up at runtime
'forum' channels (name subject to change)
Add set_channel_id and set_guild_id to message

📚 Documentation

Bump doxygen-awesome-css to v2.0.3
Add deprecation notice for group-dms

👷 Build/CI

Compile time improvements

Thank you for using D++!

The changelog is listed below:

Release Changelog

DPP - v10.0.4 release

Published by braindigitalis over 2 years ago

Version 10.0.4 of D++ is here!

This version of D++ includes the ability to call cluster methods such as message_get etc synchronously, as in, they wait until the command is complete and directly return a value instead of needing a lambda. These functions are identical in name to the asynchronous ones, except their name ends in _sync, e.g. message_get_sync(). These functions have specific uses, please be sure to read the docs for them on dpp.dev!

DPP - v10.0.0 release

Published by braindigitalis over 2 years ago

🎉 We are pleased to announce the 10.0.0 release of D++! 🎉

As our version releases match the supported API versions, and discord have recently announced version 10 of the Discord API, we are bumping our own version up to 10.x to indicate support for this new version.

If you have recently updated to the last 9.x version, there is no immediate need to upgrade as we are aware this was only a couple of days ago. The changes in the v10 release are minimal and this release is somewhat ceremonial.

Enjoy!

DPP - v9.0.12 release

Published by braindigitalis almost 3 years ago

The 9.0.12 release of D++ is now available! This release has a lot of small changes, some of them breaking changes, which bring the library up the the current bleeding edge Discord API. All new channel flags, guild flags and other features are supported.
Alongside this, the return types of some lambdas (callbacks) have changed, e.g. the addition of dpp::user_identified for users which contain oauth2 specific fields and changes to the reaction events to work when caching is disabled, or the cache is out of date. The names of some functions have also been changed to match our naming conventions in dpp::cluster, and thread calls now use the separate dpp::thread class as opposed to dpp::channel.

This is a recommended feature upgrade for all who wish to stay current with the latest Discord API features in their bot!
