Rate limit implementation now tries to use header information if possible.
Event loop is now properly propagated (GH-420)
Allow falsey values in
Client.send_message()
andClient.send_file()
.
v0.16.0¶
New Features¶
Add
Channel.overwrites
to get all the permission overwrites of a channel.Add
Server.features
to get information about partnered servers.
Bug Fixes¶
Timeout when waiting for offline members while triggering
on_ready()
.The fact that we did not timeout caused a gigantic memory leak in the library that caused thousands of duplicate
Member
instances causing big memory spikes.
Discard null sequences in the gateway.
The fact these were not discarded meant that
on_ready()
kept being called instead ofon_resumed()
. Since this has been corrected, in most caseson_ready()
will be called once or twice withon_resumed()
being called much more often.
v0.15.1¶
Fix crash on duplicate or out of order reactions.
v0.15.0¶

p.update(read_messages=True, send_messages=False)
in a single line.
Add
PermissionOverwrite.is_empty()
to check if the overwrite is empty (i.e. has no overwrites set explicitly as true or false).
For the command extension, the following changed:
Context
is no longer slotted to facilitate setting dynamic attributes.
v0.14.3¶
Bug Fixes¶
Fix crash when dealing with MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVE
Fix incorrect buckets for reactions.
v0.14.2¶
New Features¶
Client.wait_for_reaction()
now returns a namedtuple withreaction
anduser
attributes.This is for better support in the case that
None
is returned since tuple unpacking can lead to issues.
Bug Fixes¶
Fix bug that disallowed
None
to be passed foremoji
parameter inClient.wait_for_reaction()
.

HelpFormatter
now ignores hidden commands when deciding the maximum width.
v0.10.0¶
For breaking changes, see Migrating to v0.10.0. The breaking changes listed there will not be enumerated below. Since this version is rather a big departure from v0.9.2, this change log will be non-exhaustive.
New Features¶
The library is now fully
asyncio
compatible, allowing you to write non-blocking code a lot more easily.The library now fully handles 429s and unconditionally retries on 502s.
A new command extension module was added but is currently undocumented. Figuring it out is left as an exercise to the reader.
Two new exception types,
Forbidden
andNotFound
to denote permission errors or 404 errors.Added
Client.delete_invite()
to revoke invites.Added support for sending voice. Check
VoiceClient
for more details.Added
Client.wait_for_message()
coroutine to aid with follow up commands.Added
version_info
named tuple to check version info of the library.Login credentials are now cached to have a faster login experience. You can disable this by passing in
cache_auth=False
when constructing aClient
.New utility function,
discord.utils.get()
to simplify retrieval of items based on attributes.All data classes now support
!=
,==
,hash(obj)
andstr(obj)
.Added
Client.get_bans()
to get banned members from a server.Added
Client.invites_from()
to get currently active invites in a server.Added
Server.me
attribute to get theMember
version ofClient.user
.Most data classes now support a
hash(obj)
function to allow you to use them inset
ordict
classes or subclasses.Add
Message.clean_content()
to get a text version of the content with the user and channel mentioned changed into their names.Added a way to remove the messages of the user that just got banned in
Client.ban()
.Added
Client.wait_until_ready()
to facilitate easy creation of tasks that require the client cache to be ready.Added
Client.wait_until_login()
to facilitate easy creation of tasks that require the client to be logged in.Add
discord.Game
to represent any game with custom text to send toClient.change_status()
.Add
Message.nonce
attribute.Add
Member.permissions_in()
as another way of doingChannel.permissions_for()
.Add
Client.move_member()
to move a member to another voice channel.You can now create a server via
Client.create_server()
.Added
Client.edit_server()
to edit existing servers.Added
Client.server_voice_state()
to server mute or server deafen a member.If you are being rate limited, the library will now handle it for you.
Add
on_member_ban()
andon_member_unban()
events that trigger when a member is banned/unbanned.
Performance Improvements¶
All data classes now use
__slots__
which greatly reduce the memory usage of things kept in cache.Due to the usage of
asyncio
, the CPU usage of the library has gone down significantly.A lot of the internal cache lists were changed into dictionaries to change the
O(n)
lookup intoO(1)
.Compressed READY is now on by default. This means if you’re on a lot of servers (or maybe even a few) you would receive performance improvements by having to download and process less data.
While minor, change regex from
\d+
to[0-9]+
to avoid unnecessary unicode character lookups.
Bug Fixes¶
Fix bug where guilds being updated did not edit the items in cache.
Fix bug where
member.roles
were empty upon joining instead of having the@everyone
role.Fix bug where
Role.is_everyone()
was not being set properly when the role was being edited.Client.logs_from()
now handles cases where limit > 100 to sidestep the discord API limitation.Fix bug where a role being deleted would trigger a
ValueError
.Fix bug where
Permissions.kick_members()
andPermissions.ban_members()
were flipped.Mentions are now triggered normally. This was changed due to the way discord handles it internally.
Fix issue when a
Message
would attempt to upgrade aMessage.server
when the channel is aObject
.Unavailable servers were not being added into cache, this has been corrected.
