Stable Release

Added

• The ability to enable typing interactions.
  • If you want the bot to type in the thread channel if the user is also typing, add the config variable user_typing, the value doesn't matter, just it's the presence. use config del to disable the functionality. The same thing in reverse is also possible if you want the user to see the bot type when someone is typing in the thread channel add the mod_typing config variable.
• New status command, change the bot's status to online, idle, dnd, invisible, or offline.
  • To remove the status (change it back to default), use status clear.
  • This also introduces a new internal configuration variable: status. Possible values are online, idle, dnd, invisible, and offline.

Changed

• The internals for activity has drastically changed to accommodate the new status command.

Bug Fix

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in the contact command where the response message did not send.

Stable Release

Added

• You will no longer need to view your bot debug logs from Heroku. debug will show you the recent logs within 24h through a series of embeds.
  • If you don't mind your data (may or may not be limited to: user ID, guild ID, bot name) be on the internet, debug hastebin will upload a formatted logs file to https://hasteb.in.
  • debug clear will clear the locally cached logs.
  • Local logs are automatically cleared at least once every 27h for bots hosted on Heroku.

Fixed

• Will no longer show Unclosed client session and Task was destroyed but it is pending! when the bot terminates.
• thread.create is now synchronous so that the first message sent can be queued to be sent as soon as a thread is created.
  • This fixes a problem where if multiple messages are sent in quick succession, the first message sent (which triggers the thread creation) is not sent in order.
• Trying to reply to someone who has DMs disabled or has blocked the bot is now handled and the bot will send a message saying so.

Changed

• print is replaced by logging.
  • New environment variable introduced: LOG_LEVEL.
  • This influences the number of messages received in Heroku logs.
  • Possible options, from least to most severe, are: INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL.
  • In most cases, you can ignore this change.
• on_error and CommandNotFound are now logged.

Changed

• ?contact no longer raise a silent error in Heroku logs when the recipient is a bot. Now Modmail responds with an error message.

Bug Fix

Fixed

Bug Fix

Fixed

• Reading requirements.txt files in plugins.

Plugins

Added

• Plugins:
  • Think of it like addons! Anyone (with the skills) can create a plugin, make it public and distribute it. Add a welcome message to Modmail, or moderation commands? It's all up to your imagination! Have a niche feature request that you think only your server would benefit from? Plugins are your go-to!
  • Creating Plugins Documentation.

Bug Fix

Fixed

• config del command will now work properly on self-hosted db bots.

Named colors

Added

• Named colors are now supported! Over 900 different common color names are recognized. A list of color names can be found in core/_color_data.py.
  • Named colors can be set the same way as hex. But this can only be done through config set, which means database modifications will not work.
  • For example: config set main_color yellowish green.
• New config var main_color allows you to customize the main Modmail color (as requested by many). Defaults to Discord blurple.
