2.6.0

2.6.0

General

• For a short while we now use a custom version of Lavalink4NET which includes a fix so we're able to update DSharpPlus to the latest version
  • This is a temporary solution until a PR with the fix gets merged

Additions

• Added two new commands azuracast station-nowplaying-embed and player streaming-nowplaying-embed
  • These commands allow you to create a persistent embed which shows the current song playing on the AzuraCast station or the streaming player
  • The embed will automatically update each minute
  • If you leave the optional channel parameter empty OR the music/station stops playing the embed will be deleted
• You can now specify the used backend database version in the DatabaseSettings section of your .json file
  • This can improve the translation of code to SQL specifically for your database version
  • Be aware that this setting is hidden and if you decide to use it, enter the version like in the following example "15.0"

Improvements

• Split up the maintenance jobs of the bot internals to make them more fail-safe
• Optimized some discord related code to improve performance
• Reordered and added some more info to embeds to make them more readable
• The volume parameter of the MusicStreaming commands now defaults to 50 and gets saved in the database so it's restored each reconnect
• Removed three layers of the dockerfile by combining ENV instructions

Fixes

• Spelling mistakes were fixed
• Long running songs are now correctly shown in now playing embeds

Development

• Deleted some (now) unused logging code
• Deleted the unused reset Boolean parameter in MusicStreamingService.SetVolumeAsync
• Added new non-async methods to some music streaming and AzuraCast api methods
• Added a whole new database entity for MusicStreaming
