v1.2.0 - Better sync

• Optimize command syncing by using bulk endpoints for global app commands as well, making it much faster.
• Improve command syncing error messages.
• Fix @Client.listen and @Plugin.listen failing to parse event types with generics from function signatures.

v1.1.0

• Add Client.create_task to make it easier to create "fire and forget" tasks.
• Add Client.is_started and Client.wait_until_started for more convenient lifecycle management.
• Add the ability to pass an already existing injector instance to Client via the injector= kwarg. If not passed, a new injector will be created by default, like before.
• Set the client as a type dependency upon instantiation.
• Stabilize Context.issued_response. This property returns a boolean that is True if the underlying interaction has already received an initial response.
• Fix hikari.User | hikari.Role | None not being parsed as mentionable option.
• Fix edgecase where options defaulted to None would be ignored in Python 3.10.

v1.0.0 - Stable

This marks the first stable release of arc, meaning that from this point on, the project follows semantic versioning, and no breaking changes will happen (until an eventual 2.0).

• Add loops. Loops can be used to repeatedly call a given coroutine function with a specific interval or cron set.
• Add concurrency limiters. Concurrency limiters can be used to prevent users from invoking a command that already has a specific amount of instances running.
• Add arc.StartedEvent and arc.StoppingEvent to gateway clients to enable managing lifecycle via events.
• Fix command groups always being republished when command syncing.

In additon to these changes, the documentation got a major refresh, adding & extending guides where needed.

v0.6.0

• Add Context.get_option() to access options outside the command callback in a type-safe manner.
• Add Client.walk_commands() and Plugin.walk_commands() to iterate over all commands & subcommands of a given type in a type-safe manner.
• Add CallableCommandProto.display_name, SlashCommand.make_mention(), SlashSubCommand.make_mention().
• Change Context.respond_with_builder() to attempt a followup message when the interaction has an initial response and a message builder was passed.
• Remove the acquire() method from LimiterProto to make it easier to implement custom limiters.
• Split arc.utils.hooks.RateLimiter into arc.utils.RateLimiter and arc.utils.hooks.LimiterHook. This allows arc.utils.RateLimiter to be used independently of an arc context object.

v0.5.0 - Limiters

• Breaking: Re-order OptionParams object parameters. description= is now the first & only positional argument. name= has been moved to the second parameter and is now keyword-only.
• Add limiters.
• Add autodefer, default_permissions, is_dm_enabled and is_nsfw to client & plugin types. If set, these settings will be applied to all commands added to the client/plugin. They can still however be overridden by individual commands.
• Add GatewayClientBase and RESTClientBase to aid in creating custom client types. Examples on how to do this have also been added to the repository.
• Fix InteractionResponse.retrieve_message() failing due to incorrect assertion.
• Fix subcommands & subgroups unable to have hooks or an error handler.

v0.4.0 - Localization

• Add localization support through locale providers. See the localization example for more.
• Add @GatewayClient.listen, GatewayClient.subscribe, GatewayClient.unsubscribe.
• Add @GatewayPlugin.listen, GatewayPlugin.subscribe, GatewayPlugin.unsubscribe.
• Make all first-order decorators work as second-order decorators as well.

v0.3.0 - Hooks

• Add hooks.
• Add lifecycle hooks to Client along with an error handler.
• Declare attrs explicitly as a dependency.

v0.2.0

• Breaking: Rename Context.edit_response() to Context.edit_initial_response(). This is to make the purpose of the function clearer.
• Breaking: Remove arc.Injected[T] typehint alias. Use arc.inject() instead. This is to avoid confusion between the two.
• Breaking: Rename GatewayPlugin to GatewayPluginBase and RESTPlugin to RESTPluginBase.
• Add GatewayContext aliasing Context[GatewayClient]
• Add RESTContext aliasing Context[RESTClient]
• Add GatewayPlugin aliasing GatewayPluginBase[GatewayClient]
• Add RESTPlugin aliasing RESTPlugin[RESTClient]
• Add support for passing mappings to choices= when specifying option params.
• Move ABCs used internally under arc.abc.
• Improve handling missing responses via REST by adding NoResponseIssuedError.
• Fix @plugin.inject_dependencies failing when located outside of the main module.

v0.1.3

• Fix Context.respond_with_builder issuing the response twice in REST.
• Do not export abcs to top-level.

v0.1.2

• Add Context.respond_with_modal
• Add BoolOption and BoolParams
• Improve Context.respond_with_builder typing.
