v4.0.0 (Selfhosting)

• Reflected to update for self-hosting only
• Updated to work with discord.js v14 (breaking changes)

v3.0.0

v3.0 - compare changes (to: v3.0.0) from last published version on npm: 2.0.1

• Lots of cleanup/internal stuff since Sept 28, 2018; main change is switch to Enmap latest (we were using Enmap 3.x before, which supported providers like MongoDB, Postgres, etc. where Enmap 4-5+ come bundled with sqlite)

• Cleanups to code to make logging clearer (bgWhite was a terrible choice!), small fixes for d.js 12.0.0-dev

• Finally updated the documentation, at least to the extent that it makes sense for the current version (3.x - 3.0.0 currently)

• Updated (with comments where need-be) the installer scripts for Linux/macOS and Windows (yuck!)

• chore: package-ups with yarn/npm lockfiles in-sync

*Will publish to npm shortly. Done ✅

🙃

v2.0.1

v2.0.1

We've reached 1,000+ (!) servers for this tiny and simplistically designed bot! Thanks to all who have added it to their servers and self-host it! 🎉

As usual: please use the autoinstaller on macOS / Linux or Windows to install the initial modules and files -- alternatively one may just follow the Git instructions on the GitBooks/README :-) Do not update using the installer scripts. Just git pull for updating.

You'll need to setup a database (such as what we use - MongoDB - or any Enmap v3 supported persistence provider like Postgres, SQLite, LevelDB) to use here...more on that soon (AKA when someone bothers me about it xD) 😆

---

The README contains all the relevant information. There is a quick script that will install all the dependencies on macOS/Linux systems. Windows installation is also pretty seamless with the installer.bat script.

Changes:

Click for a screenshot 👌
• Added color and nested color to many of the console log events using the fast ansi-colors lib, as well as fully formatted timestamps.

Live Screenshot from KarmaBot

• Added check which responds with a “how-to” of sorts if you just ping the bot without anything (@KarmaBot).
• Added channels (total across bot) and - for no particular reason, the WS trace endpoint the bot is connected to on Discord’s gateway to the @KarmaBot stats command.
• Removed Listcord from the bot listing sites as it's dead. RIP or something 🤷‍♂️
• Fixed (this was already on the public bot) so users can lookup Karma even if they’re assigned the “NoKarma” role; updated @KarmaBot help with this. Note: a user obviously cannot add/subtract Karma still with the “NoKarma” role.
• Changed (minor) scripts for Travis; use ESLint & Standard (redundant because ¯_(ツ)_/¯
• Commit: shrinkwrap.yaml lockfile (pnpm is used here, highly recommend).
• Removed unused deps and updated packages
• Require Node v10+ because modernity - update error check accordingly
• Locked Enmap to 3.x.x as 4.x.x does not support providers anymore — we currently use MongoDB but any others (Postgres, SQLite, LevelDB) would work with a few line changes (See: https://enmap.evie.codes/blog-posts/reason for 4.x.x only supporting SQLIte)
• Minor cleanups/notated ESLint flags for clarity
• Refactor some parts of the code (minor)
• Switch to using axios and a non-blocking, ES8 async post to all the Discord Bot lists (public bot)
• Cleanups

TODO (still):

• Update README for MongoDB and database-config instructions (Some basics are pointed out) - someone bother me about it please!

v2.0.0

v2.0.0

We've reached 700 (!) servers for this tiny and simplistically designed bot! Thanks to all who have added it to their servers and self-host it! 🎉

This release switches the core from using node-localstorage to using Enhanced Maps (Enmap) with MongoDB as a persistent database provider (any Enmap provider - PostgresSQL, LevelDB, SQLite, and RethinkDB) will work here, the code change is very minimal). Major updates to code syntax, clean up, and updates the dependencies. We also made some minor tweaks to how we publish on public API's for listing sites. This release is on npm as v2.0.0. We recommend you do update your bot to this despite the the changes, because it does contain several library improvements.

As usual: please use the autoinstaller on macOS / Linux or Windows to install the initial modules and files -- alternatively one may just follow the GIt instructions on the GitBooks/README :-) **Do not update using the installer scripts. Just git pull for updating.

You'll need to setup a database (such as MongoDB) to use here, more on that soon.

TODO:

• Update README for MongoDB and database-config instructions (Some basics are pointed out)

v1.0.6-pre

v1.0.6-pre [prerelease]

We've reached 100 servers for this tiny and simplistically designed bot! Thanks to all who have added it to their servers and self-host it! 🎉

Please note that this is a pre-release for v1.0.6 proper which will include promised features (namely the way of Karma accumulation, which we've got a nice plan for that will keep the bot as simple as it is right now yet unique from the standard ways of gaining points)

This release mainly updates code syntax, clean up, and updates the dependencies. We also made some minor tweaks to how we publish on public API's for listing sites. This pre-release won't be published on npm just yet but it should be updated (git pull) or installed from scratch safely. We recommend you do update your bot to this despite the pre-release label, because it does contain several library improvements.

As usual: please use the autoinstaller on macOS / Linux or Windows to install the initial modules and files -- alternatively one may just follow the GIt instructions on the GitBooks/README :-) Do not update using the installer scripts. Just git pull for updating. If you do use the script, ensure you back up your karmafiles folder!

Coming in v1.0.6:

Coming in v1.0.6:

• Karma accumulation (like a point/XP system, but still working out the details. It will be different than the standard 'type ___ once a day' or just based on typing) -- still working on this. I apologize for the delay, but I have a cool plan for this - not just a basic "type and gain" thing. 👍

v1.0.4. Please use the autoinstaller on macOS and Linux and now Windows users can download the installer.bat file to similarly install the initial modules and files -- alternatively one may just follow the GIt instructions on the GitBooks/README :-)

• Windows-ready install script/full dependency installer on the script - sorry, been busy - but the Bot is super easy to install regardless of OS.
• Karma accumulation (like a point/XP system, but still working out the details. It will be different than the standard 'type ___ once a day' or just based on typing) -- now that it is public, will get this for v1.0.4
