Changelog

v2.10¶

December 22, 2025

Features¶

• Documentation updated to explain the basics of how I as the maintainer would expect someone else to contribute to the codebase.

Changes¶

• README.md given a makeover.
• /info embeds given a makeover.
• What kinds of text result in exclusion from /logs made configurable via variable log_text_exclude added to data/variables.json.

Bugs¶

• Fixed issue where the text at classes/itad_get_games_handler.py did not properly reflect which endpoint a hypothetical error would come from.

Miscellaneous¶

• 6 variables in data/variables.json that were EDC specific in nature (e.g edc_ports) renamed for genericity.
• Logic in /logs used to filter out common log-lines refactored to not be a long chain of if not... and not statements.
• Unused variable l_role_id in data/variables.json formally deprecated.

v2.9¶

December 15, 2025

Features¶

• Documentation live. Features: a guide on how to host the bot yourself, explanation of how the bot's code is organized, breakdown of all configuration variables and what they do, and more. /about updated to include a link to it.

Changes¶

• The number of uses for /game before the cooldown triggers has been made configurable rather than hard-coded.
• Searching for /game improved to allow fuzzier searching while still getting a result.
• /editrole will now detect if it's being used to remove a role granted with /trole, will error out, and then advise the user to use the remove argument of /trole instead.
• /user will no longer report if the target is a Endurance Coalition staff member or systems operator.
• The REGEX used by /rquote to determine whether a message is eligible for selection has been made configurable via the rquote_regex variable added to data/variables.json.

Bugs¶

• Fixed issue where EnduraBot would not properly report to end-users if IsThereAnyDeal returns a 403 status code.

Miscellaneous¶

• .env has been set to be a mounted volume in Docker rather than a file copied into it's image.
• Classes ItadGameSearchHandler and ItadGameDealsHandler refactored to provide better error handling and reduce unnecessary API calls.
• New variable disabled_cmds added to data/variables.json. Commands listed in this JSON object will be disabled and attempts to use them will result in an error.

• Custom exception classes APIConnectionError and APIContentNotFoundError added to improve error handling and debugging for API-related issues.

v2.8¶

December 8, 2025

Features¶

• New command: /game. Lookup a game by name and get it's box art, generic information, and the best price for the game sourced from the IsThereAnyDeal API.
  • This command includes an argument - private - which allows setting if the output should be posted to the channel publicly or only be visible to the executor. Defaults to posting publicly.

Changes¶

• /logs now filters out common and repeated log events from its output.
• /trole given a new argument - disconnect - which determines if the target should be disconnected from VC when the command is ran. Defaults to true.

Bugs¶

• Fixed description for argument length in /trole which was written as if the command was still /takel when it should have been rewritten in PR #152.
• Variable rquote_cooldown_in_minutes renamed to rquote_cooldown_in_seconds as the value actually must be in seconds for the cooldown to work properly.

v2.7¶

December 1, 2025

Features¶

• New command: /logs. Get an embed with X number of log lines from EnduraBot's internal logs.
• New command: /trole. Give a role temporarily to a user with the list of selectable roles mirroring the ones available for /editrole.
  • This command has replaced /takel.
  • This command still defaults to giving @L for a 24-hour interval if no arguments aside from the target are selected.

v2.2¶

October 28, 2025

Major additions in this release. API integration, use of SQLITE to have persistent data, utilization of classes, file reorganization, oh my!

v2.0¶

October 19, 2025

Incrementing major version due to the amount of under-the-hood changes that have occurred since v1.2. Not too much has changed for front-facing users, however.

Features¶

• /editrole now supports choosing whether the target should be pinged, with the option defaulting to false.
• All bot actions are now logged on the backend.

Changes¶

• /rquote and the daily bible quote will now include an image attachment if it exists in the selected message.

Bugs¶

• Fixed issue where if a member's use of /rquote was rejected because it was done in #out-of-context they would still be subject to the cooldown.

• README updated to be transparent about artificial intelligence's role in development, alongside other minor refinements.
• JSON loading centralized to config_loader.py rather than JSON being loaded per cog.

October 13, 2025

Changes¶

• Command /bibleq renamed to /rquote. Quotes will now be presented in a different manner to give more uniqueness to the daily Bible quote functionality.

Bugs¶

• JSON files bible_gospels.json and daily_bible_openers.json condensed into misc_text.json.
• JSON file editable_roles.json merged into variables.json.

v1.0¶

October 10, 2025

Full minimal viable product release for EnduraBot.

🎉 MVP Bot Feature List¶

Commands¶

• /bibleq - Present a quote from #out-of-context as if it were a Bible quote.
• /info - Get basic API-pulled information about any member of the Discord server.
• /about - Get generic information about EnduraBot, it's current version, and a link to it's GitHub repository.
• /alert - Ping EDC systems operators in their #systems-dev channel about an issue with EDC services, such as a server not booting.
• (Mod Only) /editrole - Give or revoke pre-defined set of roles from members of the server. @A can do this for any role excluding @A and @M.

Behaviors¶

• A quote from #out-of-context is submitted as if it were an inspirational Bible quote to #based-chat every day at a 12pm Eastern.

🗒️ Release Notes¶

Features¶

• EnduraBot now submits a random quote from #out-of-context as if it were a Bible quote to #based-chat daily at noon Eastern time.

Changes¶

• Use of /bibleq limited to once every 30 minutes per user. @A and @M excluded from this restriction.
• Commands /roachcock and /takel combined into /editrole which allows @M to give and revoke a list of roles configured at editable_roles.json. This also allows @A to give and revoke any role (excluding @A and @M, for security purposes).

Miscellaneous¶

• Example .env file added to repository.
