2.1

DiscordChatExporterPy Release - v2.1

This version of DiscordChatExporterPy is relatively small. It comes with a minor fix, and a re-add of the init_exporter function but via kwargs to the export function of your choosing. Not only that but with a change on how we gather messages this version works alongside the latest discord.py version (currently on their master) ahead of their great return.

Fixed:

• Message reactions appearing before attachments (such as images, videos, files)
• Method to gather messages for quick_export and export to work alongside the latest version of discord.py 🎉

Added:

• bot keyword for all export types
  • The reason for this is to show mentioned members who have since left the guild, stopping them from appearing as @Unknown.
    This is an optional argument and up to you whether you would like to use this.

Removed:

• Nothing

Known Issues:

• There are currently no known issues, so if you spot something - please let me know via Discord or open up a Github Issue.

Fixed:

• Discord Button alignment

Added:

• Support for multiple Discord forks (Nextcord, Disnake, Pycord and more!)
• Support for Discord Menus
• Support for displaying 'disabled' interactions

Removed:

• init_explorer function (it seems like you can get role colour without this now)

Known Issues:

• There are currently no known issues, so if you spot something - please let me know via Discord or open up a Github Issue.
