v4.0.0

This release corresponds to the version 4.0.0 of the bot. For more information checkout the README.

Changelog

This is a breaking change. Make sure you remove your node_modules folder and reinstall the dependencies, as well as reconfigure your bot with the correct and updated environment variables and/or settings.json file.

• Improved Docker build to keep older versions.
• Updated to discord.js@13.
• Node >=16.6 is now required.
• Fixed a bug where the disconnect timeout could be bypassed by moving the bot to another channel.
• Fixed a bug where the bot would say the ID of a mention instead of the name associated, now user, role and channel mentions as well as guild emojis will be read by their names.
• Commands are now slash commands. Trying to use the old commands with the prefix will send a deprecation warning and will not execute the command.
• Added a command deploy script. This is necessary to run once when setting up and updating your bot.
• Added a start-sharded script. You may need to start the bot with multiple shards if your bot is in a big number of servers (around 2000).
• Added data persistence through a LevelDB or Redis database. You can configure this with the config JSON file or environment variables.
• Server members can now have their own default configuration to use the say command.
• Added a custom disconnect timeout per guild. You can configure this with the set_timeout command. You can set the disconnect timeout between 5 and 300 minutes.
• Renamed DISCONNET_TIMEOUT to DEFAULT_DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT since now it represents the default disconnect timeout value in case a guild has not set up theirs.
• Added localization to the bot. You can set the language the bot should use with the set_locale command. Current languages supported: English, Spanish and French. Some text cannot be translated (such as command descriptions) due to technical limitations.
• Added the ability to use certain channels as message-only tts channels. Meaning, any message sent to that channel will be read out by the bot when running with no command. You can enable this by setting ENABLE_TTS_CHANNELS to true and adding a channel provider with the set_channel_provider command.
• Revamped commands to better suit for multiple TTS providers. This includes:
  • New commands to set and view the default provider for the command author or for the server defaults.
  • New commands to configure each provider for the command author or for the server defaults (if applies).
  • Say command now uses the command author's settings (or the server defaults if they do not have their own saved) instead of using GoogleTTS.
  • GoogleTTS can be used specifically by running google_say command.
  • AeiouTTS can be used specifically by running aeiou_say command.
  • Added commands for message-only tts, enabled only when ENABLE_TTS_CHANNELS is set to true.
