Hikari

Features

- Added a `total_length` function to `hikari.embeds.Embed`
- Takes into account the character length of the embed's title, description, fields (all field names and values), footer, and author combined.
- Useful for determining if the embed exceeds Discord's 6000 character limit. ([796](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/796))
- Added attachment command option type support. ([1015](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1015))
- Add MESSAGE_CONTENT intent. ([1021](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1021))
- Custom substitutions can now be used in `hikari.internal.ux.print_banner`. ([1022](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1022))
- `get_guild()` is now available on `hikari.Member`. ([1025](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1025))
- The notorious "failed to communicate with server" log message is now a warning rather than an error. ([1041](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1041))
- `hikari.applications`, `hikari.files`, `hikari.snowflakes` and `hikari.undefined` are now all explicitly exported by `hikari.__init__`, allowing pyright to see them without a direct import. ([1042](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1042))

Bugfixes

- Fix bucket lock not being released on errors while being acquired, which locked the bucket infinitely ([841](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/841))
- `enable_signal_handlers` now only defaults to `True` when the run/start method is called in the main thread.
This avoids these functions from always raising when being run in a threaded environment as only the main thread can register signal handlers. ([998](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/998))
- Sub-command options are now properly deserialized in the autocomplete flow to `AutocompleteInteractionOption` instead of `CommandInteractionOption`. ([1012](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1012))
- Attempt to reconnect on a gateway `TimeoutError`. ([1014](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1014))
- Properly close `GatewayBot` when not fully started. ([1023](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1023))
- The async context manager returned by `File.stream` now errors on enter if the target file doesn't exist to improve error handling when a file that doesn't exist is sent as an attachment.

The multiprocessing file reader strategy now expands user relative (`~`) links (like the threaded strategy). ([1046](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/1046))

---

Breaking Changes

- Running the standard interaction server implementation now requires a `hikari[server]` install.

This matches a switch over to PyNacl for the cryptographic payload validation. ([986](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/986))

Deprecation

- Deprecated `RESTClient.command_builder` and `RESTClient.create_application_command`.

You should switch to `RESTClient.slash_command_builder`and `RESTClient.create_slash_command` respectively. ([924](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/924))

Features

- Add `display_avatar_url` property to `hikari.Member` and `hikari.User`. ([975](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/975))
- old_x keyword arguments in the event factory now default to `None`. ([984](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/984))
- Strip tokens in the standard bot impls and RESTApp.

This helps avoids a common mistake with trailing new-lines which leads to confusing errors on request. ([989](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/989))

Bugfixes

- Relaxed typing of methods with union entry specific specialisations through overloads. ([876](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/876))

- Remove case for setting `member` and `reference_message` to `undefined.Undefined` in full message deserialization

---

Breaking Changes

- Setup basic handler if no handlers are defined in favour passed to `logging.config.dictConfig` ([832](https://github.com/hikari-py/hikari/issues/832))
