✨ The Reboot

After a long gap without development, we've decided to restart the development of IgKnite. Since it's a project even we as its developers love using on our Discord servers, it'd be great to see what we can achieve with IgKnite in the future, with updated music and moderation features as the codebase advances!

We hope you, as the end-user, will keep in touch with the regular updates from now on and stay tuned with IgKnite's upcoming features, improvements, bugfixes and much, much more!

⚠️ The pre-hosted instance is not stable yet and might require further testings before it's turned online permanently!

2023.6.11

This is a bug-fix release primarily launched for squishing bugs which were causing inconvenience to parts of the Discord bot experience. Notable tweaks and fixes are written below.

Fixed Bugs

• Removes some of the previously added asynchronous code from parts of the codebase because they were causing errors inside commands like /snipe, /invites and more. Since these parts primarily don't have an aiter object to asynchronously loop through, the async for keywords were unwanted there.

What's New

• 🔨 [tuning] Voice alerts have been removed by @hitblast in #229

---

The changes will shortly be deployed to IgKnite's pre-hosted instance.

Full Changelog: 2023.6.2...2023.6.11

2023.6.2

This tiny update changes a fair share of internal structure in various different parts of the codebase to ensure better stability in everyday workloads. No "too visible" functional changes have been made (except that now some commands respond with ephemeral embeds).

What's New

• 🔨 [tuning] Improved ephemeral interaction responses and more by @hitblast in #225
• 🔨 [tuning] Improved async loops syntax by @hitblast in #226

---
