Thank you to the following for contributions to this release:

Version 6.0.1

Version 6.0.0

This version has also been known as v5.2.0, however, breaking changes caused the version to be increased.

  • Discord Gateway and REST API versions changed to Version 8.
  • Removed unnecessary deferred promises from various parts and repositories.
  • Message::reply() now creates a "Discord reply" rather than the old way which was simply a mention with the content afterwards.
  • Tidied up and removed any unessacary deferred promises and promise binds.
  • Added Message::delayedDelete(int $ms) to delete a message after a delay.
  • Fixed member chunking not working when the guild is not considered 'large'.

Breaking Changes

  • PHP 7.4 is now the lowest supported version of PHP.
    • Versions as low as PHP 7.2 may still work, however, no support will be provided.
    • PHP 8.0 is now recommended, and CI is run on PHP 7.4 and 8.0.
  • With the update to gateway version 8, the GUILD_MEMBER and PRESENCE_UPDATE intents are not enabled by default.
    • You must first enable these in your Discord developer portal before enabling them in DiscordPHP. See the documentation for an example.
    • The loadAllMembers option requires the GUILD_MEMBER intent to be enabled.
  • The logging, httpLogger and loggerLevel options have been removed.
    • All HTTP logging information is now redirected to the logger that you have passed, or the default logger.
    • For people that disabled logging by setting logging to false, you can create a logger with a NullHandler.
  • For voice client users, see the section below for breaking changes.

HTTP Client

  • HTTP client has been moved to a seperate package: DiscordPHP-Http
  • Improved rate limits by grouping requests by major parameters.

Voice Client

  • The voice client now requires at least PHP 7.4 to operate. It will not attempt to start on any version lower.
  • The voice client can now run on Windows, thanks to the introduction of socker pair descriptors in PHP 8.0 (see reactphp/child-process#85). As such, PHP 8.0 is required to run the voice client on Windows.
  • DCA has been rebuilt and refactored for better use with DiscordPHP. Note that the binaries have only been rebuilt for the amd64 architecture. The following platforms are now supported:
    • Windows AMD64
    • macOS AMD64
    • Linux AMD64
    • I'm happy to support DCA for other platforms if requested. Please ensure that your platform is supported by the Go compiler, see the supported list here.
  • The following functions no longer return promises, rather they throw exceptions and will return void. This is because none of these functions actually did any async work, therefore promises were redundant in this situation.
    • setSpeaking()
    • switchChannel()
    • setFrameSize()
    • setBitrate()
    • setVolume()
    • setAudioApplication()
    • setMuteDeaf()
    • pause()
    • unpause()
    • stop()
    • close()
    • getRecieveStream()
  • Expect a voice client refactor in a future release.

Version 5.1.2

  • Fixed bug where websocket connection would fail and wouldn't reconnect.
  • Expanded on documentation.
  • Updated documentation marked version to ^2.0.0 due to security concern.
  • Disabled happy eyeballs connector as Discord does not use IPv6, and this causes an error when using a debugger.

  • Token is now stripped from any text output.

  • Fixed an issue where a bucket queue would be blocked when a request throws an exception.

  • Fixed Channel::deleteMessages() not working for 0 or 1 messages.

  • Converted most ->then() to ->done() for better error handling.
  • Fixed issue with member chunking not working correctly due to changes in Discord's gateway.
  • Implemented gateway payload rate-limiting.
  • Removed illuminate/support dependency.

$message = $discord->factory(Message::class);

New:

$message = new Message($message);

Both methods are still valid.

  • AbstractRepository now extends Collection rather than having magic functions to handle calls.
  • Added WebhookRepository::get().
  • Added support functions:
    • getColor(int $color);

  • Fixed issue with resumes not working due to closing with opcode 1000.
  • Client will now attempt to resume after an invalid session if it is still resumable.
  • Exceptions inside the ready handler will now be caught, emitted via exception and logged.
    • Temporary fix until react/promise ^3.0 is released, as any uncaught exceptions inside promises are dismissed.
  • Added Discord::getChannel(id) which searches through all guilds and private channels to find a channel.

  • Fixed issie with VOICE_STATE_UPDATE where members were not removed from their old channels.

Version 5.0.10

  • The PHP composer dependency has been updated to PHP 7.2. The library was not working on anything less in previous versions so I'm not deeming this a breaking change, just a formality.
  • Added PHP 7.2 typehinting to functions.
  • Added Collection::first() to get the first element of the collection.
  • Added the ability to call AbstractRepository::delete() with a string ID instead of solely a part.
  • Any custom logger now may be passed to the Discord client as long as it implementes LoggerInterface from PSR.
  • Fixed phpdocs for collections, typehinting will now work when accessing it as an array.
  • Fixed bug with Collection::get() when not searching by discriminator.
  • Added Webhook::execute().
  • Added support for illuminate/support 8.0.
  • Channel::deleteMessages() will no longer fail if 0 or 1 messages is given. The promise will instantly resolve when given 0, and will delete the one message then resolve for 1 message.
  • Fixed error when handling message deletes.
  • Websocket will no longer close when an error is seen, as Pawl's errors do not always cause closure of the websocket.
  • Fixed bug with rate limiting after changing to react/http.
  • Fixed bug with sending files after changing to react/http.

  • Development of the library will now continue on the master branch. The develop branch will be removed and you should checkout the latest tag for the most stable version.

    • Rewrote HTTP client to remove dependency of Guzzle.

  • Added user activity statuses constants to Activity.
  • Member::addRole(Role $role) and Member::removeRole(Role $role) now modifies the member on Discord's end.
    • You no longer need to run $guild->members->save($member).
    • The function now returns a promise.
  • Added Member::getPermissions(Channel? $channel) to get the total permissions of the member for a guild or channel.
  • The avatar attribute of a user will return their default avatar when it is null.

  • Fixed repository saving.
  • Removed debugging statement.
  • Removed bind_right statement that was left over.
  • Fixed setting overwrites.

Version 5.0.1

  • Removed option for bot = false. This option wouldn't have worked anyway so I am not classing it as a breaking change.
  • Converted all getter and setter functions in parts to protected. Again, shouldn't be a breaking change as these function aren't meant to be used outside of the library.
  • Webhooks:
    • Added phpdoc to webhook part.
    • Added webhook type constants
  • Guilds:
  • Removed unused attributes cache from part.
  • Removed password attribute from Client.
  • Added new user attributes and flags.
