4.0.0

🎉 The final version of IveBot 4.0.0, 4 years in the making 🎊

There may be bugs in this version due to major refactors, but that's okay for now.

Compared to 4.0-alpha.3, changes include:

• Every command has been split into its own file.
• /help has been slightly reorganised to make more sense.
• Yarn has been upgraded to v4.x with PnP replacing node_modules
• config.json5 properties have been renamed. This is a major breaking change!
• The dashboard and bot have gone through various refactoring and code improvements.

Compared to 3.x, IveBot 4.x brings:

• Support for modern Discord features such as intents and slash commands.
• Many commands now support slash commands (however, not all do yet).
• The dashboard has been split out into its own independent subproject.
• The dashboard now uses Discord OAuth for login.
• The bot has gone through massive refactorings, relying on the latest features from Node.js 24 and undergoing massive cleanups.
• Many fields and properties have been renamed. Particularly of note to upgrading users are database and config name changes.
• Yarn 4.x is now used with PnP, along with the latest versions of all dependencies.
• The bot has been migrated to Dysnomia, a fork of Eris that is more actively maintained.
• New commands include /ai for text completion using OpenAI, /google for searching Google and /temperature for converting temperatures between units (credit: @0xVR)
• /currency now uses a more accurate value for SYP (Syrian Pound) and is more user-friendly (credit: @NixxoNgames)
• /changeserverregion and /listserverregions have been refactored to /changevoiceregion and /listvoiceregions
• Trivia lists have been moved into the git tree for easier management.
• /renameemoji has been added as an alias for /editemoji.
• /ocr now supports replying to messages, allowing users to extract text from images more easily.
• /creationtime has been fixed and is no longer broken, along with many other bug fixes.

Upgrading from 3.x / 4.0-alpha.3

Rename the following config.json5 properties:

• mongoURL -> mongoUrl
• rootURL -> dashboardUrl
• NASAtoken -> nasaApiKey
• oxfordAPI -> oxfordApi
• weatherAPIkey -> weatherApiKey
• fixerAPIkey -> fixerApiKey
• cvAPIkey -> gcloudApiKey
• openaiAPIkey -> openaiApiKey

Upgrade from 3.x

Delete triviaLists/ from the top-level folder if you created the folder manually earlier. Trivia lists are now located in the git tree in the src/data/ folder for easier management.

Rename MongoDB database properties to their 4.x equivalents by running the following commands in Mongo shell:

use ivebot
db.servers.updateMany({}, { $rename: { serverID: 'id', addRoleForAll: 'publicRoles' } })
db.warnings.updateMany({}, { $rename: { serverID: 'serverId', warnedID: 'warnedId', warnerID: 'warnerId' } })
