4.0.0

Release 4.0.0

#288

Library rewrite.
(The rewrite history is available at legacy-v3...stable.)

Miscellaneous

• Added strict type hinting on objects and attributes.
• NEW: Switch to new Read The Docs "Karma" theme.
• Moved to new documentation website: https://discord-interactions.rtfd.io/.
• 💥 NEW: Moved to new PyPI repository: discord-py-interactions.

Please install by using pip install -U discord-py-interactions!
v3 AND UNDER are now considered DEPRECATED.
discord-py-slash-command will no longer be updated.

Core/API

• 💥 NEW: Removed discord.py as a dependency.

This library is now a standalone library, which no longer needs a parent library such as
discord.py, Pycord, nextcord or any other related d.py fork. You will be able to interact
with the API and Gateway like these libraries do without needing to add them in your bot
in order to use ours.

• NEW: Introduced gateway WebSocket connection.
• NEW: Introduced HTTPClient requester.
• Revamped object callback logic to Listener dispatch.
• NEW: Introduced Cache storage cache.
• NEW: Added new objects to reflect API schema objects.
• NEW: Introduced new "dynamic object generation" workflow.

This works off of taking returned JSON as a dictionary in Python and transforming it
into an object with predefined attributes (__slots__) that represents an API schema
-strict object. These "data models" are able to give back a raw _json attribute for the
pure dictionary data, and a recursive representation of the serializer with the attributes
respectively.

Interactions

• Revamped objects for commands.
• NEW: Converted component usage into objects.
• Revamped and included new enumerables.
• NEW: Introduced dual-way decorator logic.

Decorators used to only work during the callback trigger of an interaction creation event
from the Gateway. This has been changed to now include command synchronization during
the "constructing" phase, as well as passing data later into the cache which can be accessed.

• Restored *args and **kwargs invocation logic with dispatching events.
• NEW: Introduced ActionRow-less sending.
• Revamped error handler reading as Exception.

A huge thanks to also these contributors for helping with developing version 4.0 and building the library in the past:
