CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog. This project mostly adheres to Semantic Versioning; however, insignificant breaking changes do not guarantee a major version bump, see the reasoning here. If you're a plugin developer, note the "BREAKING" section.

v2.19.1

Changed

• Ability to force an update despite having the same version number. Helpful to keep up-to-date with the latest GitHub commit.
  • ?update force.

Fix help command bug when using external plugins.

v2.18.4

Fix the teams permission bug.

v2.18.2

Changed

v2.18.1

Un-deprecated the OWNERS config variable to support Discord developer team accounts.

v2.18.0

New Permissions System

• A brand new permission system! Replaced the old guild-based permissions (i.e., manage channels, manage messages), with the new system enables you to customize your desired permission level specific to a command or a group of commands for a role or user.
• There are five permission levels:
  • Owner [5]
  • Administrator [4]
  • Moderator [3]
  • Supporter [2]
  • Regular [1]

Usage

You may add a role or user to a permission group through any of the following methods:

• ?permissions add level owner @role
• ?permissions add level supporter member-name
• ?permissions add level moderator everyone
• ?permissions add level moderator @member#1234
• ?permissions add level administrator 78912384930291853

The same applies to individual commands permissions:

• ?permissions add command command-name @member#1234
• and the other methods listed above.

To revoke permission, use remove instead of add.

To view all roles and users with permission for a permission level or command do:

• ?permissions get command command-name
• ?permissions get level owner

By default, all newly set up Modmail will have OWNER set to the owner of the bot, and REGULAR set to @everyone.

Breaking

When updating to this version, all prior permission settings with guild-based permissions will be invalidated. You will need to convert to the above system. OWNERS will also get removed; you will need to set owners through ?permissions add level owner 212931293123129 or any way listed above.

New Command

• A ?delete command, which is an alternative to manually deleting a message. This command is created to no longer require "manage messages" permission to recall thread messages.

Changed

• The help message no longer conceals inaccessible commands due to check failures.

v2.17.2

Changed

• Logs search command will search through log keys as well now.
• For example, ?logs search e7499e82f8ff.

v2.17.1

What's new?

Stricter fallback genesis embed search.

Changed

How Modmail checks if a channel is a thread:

1. The bot first checks if the channel topic is in the format User ID: XXXX, this means it is a thread.
2. If a channel topic is not found, the bot searches through the message history of a channel to find the thread creation embed. This step should never yield a thread for an average user. Still, in the case of another bot messing up the channel topic (happened to a user before), this extra step was added.

v2.17.0

What's new?

Added a config option reply_without_command, which, when present, enables the bot to forward any message sent in a thread channel to the recipient. (Replying without using a command)

To enable this functionality, do ?config set reply_without_command true and to disable it, use ?config del reply_without_command.

Changed

The move command now only requires manage_messages perms instead of manage_channels.

v2.16.1

Fixed

An issue where a scheduled close would not execute over a long time if the recipient no shares any servers with the bot.

v2.16.0

Changed

All support for Modmail API (api.modmail.tk) has terminated. If you're still using api.modmail.tk, you will need to migrate to the self-hosted database option ASAP. Your bot will not work unless you switch to the self-hosted option. Refer to the installation tutorial for information regarding self-hosted Modmail.

If a member leaves/joins (again) while they are a recipient of a thread, a message will be sent to notify you that this has occurred.

v2.15.1

Fixed

Emergency patch of a SyntaxError.

v2.15.0

What's new?

Added the ability to change the default close message via the introduction of two config variables.

• thread_close_response - when someone closes the thread.
• thread_self_close_response - when the recipient closes their own thread.

They will be provided by string variables that you can incorporate into them:

• closer - the user object that closed the thread.
• logkey - the key for the thread logs, e.g. (5219ccc82ad4)
• loglink - the full link to the thread logs, e.g. (https://logwebsite.com/logs/5219ccc82ad4)

Example usage would be: ?config set thread_close_message {closer.mention} closed the thread, here is the link to your logs: [**`{logkey}`**]({loglink})

v2.14.0

What's new?

Added the ability to enable the recipient to close their own threads. This takes place in the form of a reaction that the user can click to close their thread. This functionality is now enabled by default.

To disable this, do ?config set disable_recipient_thread_close true

More Customisability!

More config variables have been added that you can edit.

• close_emoji - the emoji that the user can click on to close a thread. Defaults to a lock (🔒)

You now have complete control of the look of the thread creation and close embeds the users see.

• thread_creation_title - the title of the embed. Defaults to 'Thread Created'
• thread_creation_footer - the footer text in the embed. Defaults to 'Your message has been sent...'
• thread_close_title - the title of the embed. Defaults to 'Thread Closed'
• thread_close_footer - the footer text in the embed. Defaults to 'Replying will create a new thread'

v2.13.13

What's new?

Added the ability to disable the sent_emoji and blocked_emoji when a user messages Modmail.

You can do this via ?config set sent_emoji disable.

Fixed

The bot now handles having too many roles to show in the thread created embed.

v2.13.12

What's new?

Added image link in title in case discord fails to embed an image.

v2.13.11

What's new?

• Introduced a new configuration variable account_age for setting a minimum account creation age.
  • Users blocked by this reason will be stored in blocked along with other reasons for being blocked.
  • account_age needs to be an ISO-8601 Duration Format (examples: P12DT3H 12 days and 3 hours, P3Y5M 3 years and 5 months PT4H14M999S 4 hours 14 minutes and 999 seconds). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations.
  • You can set account_age using config set account_age time where "time" can be a simple human-readable time string or an ISO-8601 Duration Format string.

Changed

• ?block reason cannot start with System Message: as it is now reserved for internal user blocking.
• ?block, like ?close, now supports a block duration (temp blocking).

v2.13.10

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where status and activity do not work if they were modified wrongly in the database.
  • This was primarily an issue for older Modmail users, as the old status configuration variable clashes with the new status variable.

v2.13.9

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where an error was raised when a message with received during a scheduled closure.

v2.13.8

Fixed

• A bug where a thread was blocked from sending messages when multiple images were uploaded, due to a typo.

Changed

• Uses https://hasteb.in instead of https://hastebin.com for ?debug hastebin.

v2.13.7

What's new?

• The ability to enable typing interactions.
  • If you want the bot to type in the thread channel if the user is also typing, add the config variable user_typing and set it to "yes" or "true". Use config del to disable the functionality. The same thing in reverse is also possible if you want the user to see the bot type when someone is typing in the thread channel add the mod_typing config variable.
• New status command, change the bot's status to online, idle, dnd, invisible, or offline.
  • To remove the status (change it back to default), use status clear.
  • This also introduces a new internal configuration variable: status. Possible values are online, idle, dnd, invisible, and offline.

Changed

• The internals for activity has drastically changed to accommodate the new status command.

v2.13.6

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in the contact command where the response message did not send.

v2.13.5

What's new?

• You will no longer need to view your bot debug logs from Heroku. debug will show you the recent logs within 24h through a series of embeds.
  • If you don't mind your data (may or may not be limited to user ID, guild ID, bot name) be on the internet, debug hastebin will upload a formatted logs file to https://hasteb.in.
  • debug clear will clear the locally cached logs.
  • Local logs are automatically erased at least once every 27h for bots hosted on Heroku.

Fixed

• Will no longer show Unclosed client session and Task was destroyed, but it is pending! when the bot terminates.
• thread.create is now synchronous so that the first message sent can be queued to be sent as soon as a thread is created.
  • This fixes a problem where if multiple messages are sent in quick succession, the first message sent (which triggers the thread creation) is not sent in order.
• Trying to reply to someone who has DMs disabled or has blocked the bot is now handled, and the bot will send a message saying so.

Changed

• print is replaced by logging.
  • New environment variable introduced: LOG_LEVEL.
  • This influences the number of messages received in Heroku logs.
  • Possible options, from least to most severe, are: INFO, DEBUG, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL.
  • In most cases, you can ignore this change.
• on_error and CommandNotFound are now logged.

v2.13.4

Changed

Fixed

• Installing requirements.txt files in plugins.

v2.13.1

Fixed

• Reading requirements.txt files in plugins.

v2.13.0

What's new?

• Plugins:
  • Think of it like addons! Anyone (with the skills) can create a plugin, make it public and distribute it. Add a welcome message to Modmail, or moderation commands? It's all up to your imagination! Have a niche feature request that you think only your server would benefit? Plugins are your go-to!
  • Creating Plugins Documentation.

v2.12.5

Fixed

• config del command will now work correctly on self-hosted DB bots.

v2.12.4

What's new?

• Named colors are now supported! Over 900 different common color names are recognized. A list of color names can be found in core/_color_data.py.
  • Named colors can be set the same way as hex. But this can only be done through config set, which means database modifications will not work.
  • For example: config set main_color yellowish green.
• New config var main_color allows you to customize the main Modmail color (as requested by many). Defaults to Discord blurple.

v2.12.3

Fixed

• Patched a bug where logs sub-commands were accessible by anyone.
• Patched a bug where an error was raised when a thread is open where the recipient left the server.

Huge thanks to Sasiko for reporting these issues.

v2.12.2

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in self-hosted ?update command.

v2.12.1

Changed

• logs search now also searches usernames present in thread logs.

v2.12.0

Important

In the future, the Modmail API (https://modmail.tk) will be deprecated. This is because we are providing free service without getting anything in return. Thus we do not have the resources to scale to accommodate more users. We recommend using your own database for logs. In the future you will soon get a backup command so you can download all your pre-existing data and migrate to your own database.

Changed

• A lot of painful code cleanup, which is good for us (the developers), but shouldn't affect you.
• The appearance of the ?logs command. It should be clearer with better info now.
• Bot owners get access to all commands regardless of server permissions.
• Blocked users no longer receive a message, only the blocked emoji will be sent.

What's new?

• Note: The following commands only work if you are self-hosting your logs. We recommend you to use your own database.
• Log search queries, in the form of two new commands.
• logs search [query] - this searches all log messages for a query string.
• logs closed-by [user] this returns all logs closed by a particular user

Fixed

• activity listening to music no longer results in two "to"s ("listening to to music").
  • This may require you to change your activity message to accommodate this fix.

v2.10.0

What's new?

• anonreply command to anonymously reply to the recipient. The username of the anonymous user defaults to the mod_tag (the footer text of a mod reply message) — the avatar defaults to the guild icon URL. However, you can change both of these via the anon_username, anon_avatar_url, and anon_tag config variables.

Changed

• Your bot now logs all messages sent in a thread channel, including discussions that take place. You can now toggle to view them in the log viewer app.

  • Now you can use the alias via: recruit @somedude.

v2.9.0

What's new?
