Modmail v0.1.0 - 2021-09-29

v0.2.0 - 2021-09-29

Added

• Interaction Paginator that uses discord buttons (#50)
• docker-compose.yml (#13)
  • Running the bot after configuring the env vars is now as simple as docker-compose up
• Automatic docker image creation: ghcr.io/discord-modmail/modmail (#19)
• Dockerfile support for all supported hosting providers. (#58)
• Errors no longer happen silently and notify the user when they make a mistake. (#77)

Changed

• Refactored bot creation and bot running (#56)
  • Running the bot is still the same method, but it loads extensions and plugins now.
  • bot.start() can also be used if already in a running event loop. Keep in mind using it will require
    handling loop errors, as run() does this automatically.

Internal

• Code style: two blank lines after imports instead of one. (#70)

Modmail v0.1.0 - 2021-08-13

Added

• Bot modes to determine behavior. Multiple can be applied at once. (#43)
  • PROD: the default mode, no dev extensions or dev plugins load
  • DEVELOP: the bot developer mode, most useful for people adding features to modmail
    • Enables the extension_manager extension.
  • PLUGIN_DEV: the plugin developer mode, useful for enabling plugin specific features
    • This is not used yet.
• Extension loading system (#43)
  • scans for extensions in the modmail/extensions folder and loads them if they are of the right format.
  • all extensions must be loadable as a module, which means they must have __init__.py files in their directories.
• Plugin loading system (#43)
  • scans for plugins in the modmail/plugins folder and loads them.
  • Unlike extensions, plugins and their respective folders do not need to have __init__.py files and are allowed to be symlinks.
• Extension management commands (#43)
  • load, reload, unload, list, refresh commands for dealing with extensions
  • Run the ext command for more details when bot is in DEVELOP mode.
• Plugin management commands (#43)
  • load, reload, unload, list, refresh commands for dealing with plugins
  • Run the plugins command for more details.
• Extension metadata (#43)
  • used to determine if a cog should load or not depending on the bot mode
• Plugin helper file (#43)
  • modmail/plugin_helpers.py contains several helpers for making plugins
    • PluginCog
    • ModmailBot, imported from modmail.bot
    • ModmailLogger, imported from modmail.log
• Meta Cog (#43)
  • NOTE: The commands in this cog are not stabilized yet and should not be relied upon.
  • Prefix command for getting the set prefix. Most useful by mentioning the bot.
  • Uptime command which tells the end user how long the bot has been online.
  • Ping command to see the bot latency.
• Guide on how to contribute to modmail, see CONTRIBUTING.md
• Start a Changelog

Fixed

• Make the bot http_session within an event loop.
