4.0-alpha.3

🎉 4 years later, but here we are!

This release delivers a bunch of changes under the hood:

• The bot has been migrated to Dysnomia, a fork of Eris that is more actively maintained.
• All dependencies have been updated to their latest versions.
• Prettier is now used for code formatting across the project.
• New commands include /ai for text completion using OpenAI, /google for searching Google and /temperature for converting temperatures between units (credit: @0xVR)
• /currency now uses a more accurate value for SYP (Syrian Pound) and is more user-friendly (credit: @NixxoNgames)
• The Node.js version requirement has been raised from 12 to 24 (doubled!)
  This allows us to use the built-in fetch API, TypeScript support and watch mode.
• Trivia lists have been moved into the git tree for easier management.
• /renameemoji has been added as an alias for /editemoji.
• /ocr now supports replying to messages, allowing users to extract text from images more easily.
• /about makes it clear that IveBot 4.0 is the preferred version of the bot, and that 3.0 is no longer supported.
• /creationtime has been fixed and is no longer broken, along with many other bug fixes.

Due to IveBot 4.0 supporting newer Discord features such as threads, it is now the preferred version of the bot (despite being unreleased). IveBot 3.0 is no longer supported and will not receive any updates or bug fixes, since it is practically unusable with modern-day Discord and I don't have the resources to continue maintaining it.

In view of this situation, moving forward, v4.0 development is being streamlined so that it can be released in a more timely manner, with many features being moved out of its scope. I expect the next version will be v4.0 itself, mostly with code refactors under the hood and no additional features.

Upgrading from 4.0-alpha.2

You should delete the triviaLists/ folder at the top level, if you created it manually in an existing setup. This is because trivia lists have been moved into the git tree for easier management at src/data and do not need to be added manually now.
