v3.0.0

Breaking changes

• The previous builder has been replaced with a simple action that modifies the host configuration.

//....
.ConfigureDiscordHost<DiscordSocketClient>((context, config) =>
  {
     config.SocketConfig = new DiscordSocketConfig
      {
          LogLevel = LogSeverity.Verbose,
          AlwaysDownloadUsers = true,
          MessageCacheSize = 200
      };

    config.Token = context.Configuration["token"];
  })

• The experimental Reliability extensions have been removed as Discord.NET's reliability has improved a lot over the last few releases and these extensions were never very, ahem, reliable themselves. Replace RunReliablyAsync() with RunAsync() within your code.
• Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting v3.1.5 & Discord.NET v2.2.0 are now the minimum supported versions.

Other changes

• Cancellation is now better handled within the hosted service.
• IOptions is now used throughout the library, permitting usage of services.Configure<T>() to configure either the host or the command service depending on your scenario.

v2.1.0

• Added the InitializedService base class to cover one-time initialization requirements, see the README for more information.
• Cleaned up some internal extension logic
• Fixed a typo in the configuration builder

v2.0.0

Breaking changes

• The various configuration calls within the builder for the discord client have been simplified to a single extension:

               .ConfigureDiscordHost<DiscordSocketClient>((context, configurationBuilder) =>
                {
                    configurationBuilder.SetDiscordConfiguration(new DiscordSocketConfig
                    {
                        LogLevel = LogSeverity.Verbose,
                        AlwaysDownloadUsers = true,
                        MessageCacheSize = 200
                    });

                    configurationBuilder.SetToken(context.Configuration["token"]);
                   
                    configurationBuilder.SetCustomLogFormat((message, exception) => $"{message.Source}: {message.Message}");
                })

• The token's location now needs to manually set via the SetToken() method
• Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting v3.0.0 is now the minimum supported version

Other changes

• Host will now handle startup cancellation correctly & exit
• Added netstandard2.1 target
• Updated examples to .NET Core 3.0

v1.3.0

• Hosted service will now respect the host's shutdown timeout. This fixes issues with deadlocked clients blocking the host from exiting.
• Discord Client & CommandService are now both logged to the Discord.Client log category

v1.2.1

(v.1.2.0)

• Change HostedService to be a singleton (.Net Core 3.0 behavior).
• Update dependencies to .Net Core 2.2
• Require Discord.Net v2.0.1

(v1.2.1)

• Fix startup failures in v1.2.0

v1.1.2

• Cleanup of a few leftover code smells from v1.1.0

v1.1.1

• Fix a Serilog formatting mistake

v1.1.0

• Refactor internals and simplify generics - Client must now be or inherit from DiscordSocketClient
• Add reliability extensions - See github description
• Fix various issues with event handlers
• Update package description
