• Updated documentation to reflect missed changes in 6.0.0 - #520 #521 @hemberger

Version 6.0.0

This version has also been known as v5.2.0, however, breaking changes caused the version to be increased. Please read the conversion guide when upgrading to check for any breaking changes that may affect you.

• Discord Gateway and REST API versions changed to Version 8.
• Removed unnecessary deferred promises from various parts and repositories.
• Message::reply() now creates a "Discord reply" rather than the old way which was simply a mention with the content afterwards.
• Tidied up and removed any unessacary deferred promises and promise binds.
• Added Message::delayedDelete(int $ms) to delete a message after a delay.
• Fixed member chunking not working when the guild is not considered 'large'.

Breaking Changes

• PHP 7.4 is now the lowest supported version of PHP.
  • Versions as low as PHP 7.2 may still work, however, no support will be provided.
  • PHP 8.0 is now recommended, and CI is run on PHP 7.4 and 8.0.
• With the update to gateway version 8, the GUILD_MEMBER and PRESENCE_UPDATE intents are not enabled by default.
  • You must first enable these in your Discord developer portal before enabling them in DiscordPHP. See the documentation for an example.
  • The loadAllMembers option requires the GUILD_MEMBER intent to be enabled.
• The logging and httpLogger options have been removed.
  • All HTTP logging information is now redirected to the logger that you have passed, or the default logger.
  • For people that disabled logging by setting logging to false, you can create a logger with a NullHandler.
• For voice client users, see the section below for breaking changes.

HTTP Client

• HTTP client has been moved to a seperate package: DiscordPHP-Http
• Improved rate limits by grouping requests by major parameters.

Voice Client

• The voice client now requires at least PHP 7.4 to operate. It will not attempt to start on any version lower.
• The voice client can now run on Windows, thanks to the introduction of socker pair descriptors in PHP 8.0 (see reactphp/child-process#85). As such, PHP 8.0 is required to run the voice client on Windows.
• DCA has been rebuilt and refactored for better use with DiscordPHP. Note that the binaries have only been rebuilt for the amd64 architecture. The following platforms are now supported:
  • Windows AMD64
  • macOS AMD64
  • Linux AMD64
  • I'm happy to support DCA for other platforms if requested. Please ensure that your platform is supported by the Go compiler, see the supported list here.
• The following functions no longer return promises, rather they throw exceptions and will return void. This is because none of these functions actually did any async work, therefore promises were redundant in this situation.
  • setSpeaking()
  • switchChannel()
  • setFrameSize()
  • setBitrate()
  • setVolume()
  • setAudioApplication()
  • setMuteDeaf()
  • pause()
  • unpause()
  • stop()
  • close()
  • getRecieveStream()
• Expect a voice client refactor in a future release.
