Bot API 7.4 Update

v1.2.1

• Fixed bug in text formatting for captioned types (photos, videos, etc)

v1.2.0

Statistics, Bot API 7.3 Update, and Quality of Life Fixes

• Bot can now collect statistics about messages totals and user joining/leaving over time and make them viewable to all users.
• Removed the 30 messages per second limit; Messages are now sent as the queue fills up, so bots will be more responsive.
• Users can be blacklisted by name or ID through the /blacklist command.
• Fix bug a in the /purge command that would produce an error if a message older than 48 hours was deleted.
• Karma reasons can now contain 500 characters and newlines.
• Media limit periods are now more readable
• Karma levels are now ranges.
  • Lowest karma level now ranges from the minimum karma value to the start of the next karma level
  • Highest karma level now ranges from its start to the maximum karma value
• Config file was updated to include information about prerequisite values
  • The program will also notify if a value is set but a value it relies on is not (For example, regular_forwards being enabled while relay_forwarded_messages is disabled)
• Rank permissions will be removed at runtime if their associated handler is not enabled
  • For example a rank's Pin permission will be ignored if enable_pin is not toggled; the bot will notify if this is the case
• Ranksay commands now properly handle names of ranks with spaces or Unicode characters
  • The generated /*say command will contain only the English, underscore, and digit characters of the rank's name with a Ranksay permission
• Added 600+ tests

• Spam handling for text messages is now more strict
• When upvoting or downvoting, a message can be sent to the receiver saying why they were upvoted or downvoted (a la delete/remove/blacklist reasons, or Reddit)
• Implemented bulk deletion for the /purge command; purges should now be much faster.
• Added blockquote to one of the possible message entities that can be stripped
• Implemented replying to messages with a quote (only works for messages sent by and to the bot)
• A notification is now sent when the user gains or loses a karma level
• Fixed bug where commands that were in the middle of a message's text/caption would execute as if they were invoked normally
