v4.1.4

📅 DisCal Release 4.1.4

This update packs in a shiny new feature with several bug fixes and improvements aimed at better user experience and overall functionality

Milestone: 4.1.4

Auto updating calendar overview

The calendar overview provides a convenient way to display your guild's calendar in Discord. It will auto update every 24 hours and whenever there is a calendar change such as creating or editing an event.

⭐️ New Features and Additions

• Add new "calendar overview" #90
  • Available on /linkcal with optional overview:true|false (enabled by default now)
  • Available as a static, auto updating message with /displaycal new
  • Static overview message will auto-update every 24 hours and update anytime a change is made through the bot (changes made outside the bot will be supported soon)

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix formatting mistakes and typos in the old-command migration message.
• Fix wizards (event and calendar wizard) not closing automatically after a successful confirmation or timeout. #120
• Fix API uptime tracking not updating properly
• Fix including time in a date-only format location.
• Fix event edit/copy commands improperly setting event to recur when it was not previously
• Fix editing event to stop recurring throwing an error
• Fix bot stalling due to requesting guild members on startup
• Fix formatting in recurrence section appending rouge $s on values
• Fix various auth issues from the last version
  • These fixes were deployed as a hotfix after the last version without being added to a change log, hence being here.

⭐ Improvements

• Upgrade to Discord4J 3.2.1
• Upgrade to Kotlin 1.6
• Optimized several database queries
• Add min/max values to number inputs on commands where applicable for improved UX.

🔨 Work in Progress and Upcoming Changes

• Working on converting everything to slash commands: #111
  • All slash commands natively support multi-calendar for easier drop-in of the multi-cal feature set coming soon!
• Converting to new translation system
  • Due to this, old translations are slowly being removed and support for current languages is unfortunately dropping until I can get translators
