v3.0.0 - major rewrite

This release generally covers a change of ways in which our code is structured. Generally, we rewrote it to be much less repetitive, and will continue to do so from now on. Additionally, we have taken the step to migrate to slash commands fully and drop message commands.

It also fixes several issues such as the blacklist not automatically leaving blacklisted server upon being added back; PEP8 conventions are now actively being followed; deleting saved servers with setserver when not provided with an argument; code documentation and more.

From off this release, we will start semantic versioning for every new commit and/or pull request.

V2.3.0 - Permission binding commands

We were recently informed that we have forgotten to permission-bind setserver, a pretty bad mistake that we should not have missed. We have fixed it with this release and offer our apologies for servers who have been negatively affected by this error.

What's Changed

• Update dependencies by @Soapy7261 in #42
• Fix permission for /setserver by @Soapy7261 in #43

• Now allow using status without arguments

Python rewrite

Python rewrite

We've recently made the internal decision to rewrite Pingernos in Python for a cleaner and more overseeable code base. This has allowed us to add slash commands, and made Pingernos more flexible and open to updates in the future. A major thanks to @Soapy7261 for undertaking the majority of this rewrite in #31.

Important notice

As Pingernos was recently transferred to BlackFur Studios ORG. it is important to note that a privacy policy and Terms of Service have not yet been written. This does not mean that there are no applicable terms. We have a zero-tolerance policy on abuse. We currently have guild IDs and server IPs stored to optimize functionality of the bot - however these cannot be accessed as our database modules and commands have not been set up yet. This will be done in the next release.

What's changed?

• Temporarily disabled setserver command while we rewrite this.
• Temporarily disabled automatic server statuses through setserver while we rewrite this
• Rewrote the entire code in Python (legacy code can be found in https://github.com/BlackFurORG/pingernos/tree/main)
• Updated privacy command to display collected data and contact details accurately
• Updated info command to display information accurately
• Added CONFIGURATION.md for configuration.
• Added cog management

All changes and commits relevant to this release are found in #31 courtesy of @Soapy7261 and @MiataBoy.
