probably breaking

trying a different way of formatting this changelog, instead of just "additions" and "removals". so...

changes and improvements to me

for a quick overview, here's a picture.

• ⚠️ no more "compact ver." and "full ver.", and a small redesign of the embed.
  • this is quite broken on mobile, but... uhh... sorry? (i might add a user setting to have one or the other, we'll see.)
  • merged "most used command" and "commands run".
  • added nickname ("also known as nickname")
• you can now specify a user to see the stats of! sl me [user]
• slabbot handles new users a bit better. (#23)
  • if a new user ran sl me, the bot would return nothing. now it returns a little welcome message and a mostly blank embed. it's better!
• i expect to do quite a bit more to this in the next update... watch this space!

unorganized minor stuff

• consistency in help - all fields now use square brackets.
• roll embeds are now colored based on how high or low the roll was (compared to the maximum / minimum).
• cooldown messages delete themselves once the cooldown expires. (#33)
• the osu command now caches results for 180 seconds. (#43)
• admin.js has been renamed to shutdown.js, and moved into an admin folder.
  • admin commands get their own category, and are not shown in the help menu.
• removed "stack overflow" from "powered by" section in about.
  • it's not really "powered by" stack overflow, and i also don't use it as much anymore... thanks mdn <3
• added --exact-match to the end of git describe, which should stop about from displaying v#.#-[commit hash] as its version.
• the level up message is now orange.
• cooldowns have been modified a bit, global default cooldown has been raised to 3000ms (up from 2000ms), but cooldowns for some other commands have been reduced.
  • help uses the default cooldown (down from 10000ms).
  • the cooldown for me has been lowered to 15000ms (down from 30000ms).
  • the rate limit for osu has been raised to 4/30000ms (up from 3/30000ms).

code stuff

• ⚠️ now using xo code style. at least, with a few exceptions.
  • strings still use double quotes (unless you have to use them in the string).
  • comments don't have to be capitalized (too professional!)
    • todo comments don't return warnings, we have a github bot for that.
  • no radix needed in randInt() (i only use decimal numbers...)
• slabbot can now properly start when an osu! api token is missing, and when it cannot connect to mongodb. (#36)
  • when an osu! api token is missing from config.json, the osu command will not be loaded.
  • when slabbot cannot connect to mongodb (on startup), the exp system (and the me command) will not be loaded.
    • command usage will also not be counted, and its related fields in about will be excluded.
• functions in things.functions.js are no longer named
  • felt a tad redundant when they were called by their export names...
• new method of handling command errors (things.commandError.js).
  • CommandError is now a class.
    • takes in an object with properties embedTitle, embedDescription, and messageText.
    • reply() method takes in a Message and placeholders (replace text in embedDescription, used in despacito.js).
    • consistent color and footer for all errors, should be a bit better.
    • replaces returnError function from v0.4.0.
  • i should probably name this something else, or just consolidate a single "things.js".
• renamed commandinfo.json to commandInfo.json, and moved to root directory.
  • and also using require.main.require, because it's cleaner. although it's a bit broken in vscode. please see microsoft/TypeScript#19117.
• console.log() messages are a whole lot more colorful.
• more READMEs.
• more code cleanup and comments, as always.
• updated dependencies.
  • added renovate bot to help deal with them!

for a version bump that adds practically nothing on the user-end, this is probably the longest changelog so far. finishing up this update and typing these notes while in an airport, waiting for a flight that was delayed by nearly 7 hours was… an experience.

next update is proper game stuff, and a bunch of things that feel very long overdue. see ya then!
