2.8.1

Fixes

• Removed the check for /api/station/{id} since it was making more issues than it gave value
• Some minor fixes regarding NullExceptions coming up in rare cases

2.8.0

2.8.0 - 2025-09-29

General

• A new daily check added which notifies unused/unconfigured instances and forces the bot to leave these servers after 3 or 7 days
  • This check was added to reduce database clutter and to ensure that the bot is only used in actively managed servers
  • Maybe server counts of the public bot will go down after this but this is negligible

Additions

• A new setting was added to specify a channel id where the bot will send a copy of its admin send-bot-wide-message message to
  • This setting is optional and does not break your existing setup, therefore it's not shown in the default settings.json
  • If you want to use it take a look in the Wiki

Improvements

• Added support for AzuraCast/AzuraCast#8150
  • For music now-playing this means we now download the song artwork temporarily so we can deliver it to you
• Discord Uri protocols now default to https instead of http if no protocol is specified
• Refactored internal code with some micro optimizations and hardenings around errors

Development

• Deleted unnecessary code which is native in .NET
• Miscellaneous action improvements
• Simplified Json Source Generation

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the bot failed to run the AzuraCastUpdateJobs if an exception occurred
• Fixed an issue which prevented the command azuracast force-api-permission-check from running
• Fixed an issue which let the api permissions check run only on admin nodes
• Fixed an issue which broke the azuracast hardware-stats command

Dependencies

• Updated DSharpPlus to version 5.0.0-nightly-02551

2.7.0

2.7.0 - 2025-09-14

General

• Reworked the Encryption strength of the critical data stored in the database
  • We now use the AesGcm algorithm with a 256 bit key to be more future-proof since .NET 10 will deprecate AesCcm on some platforms
  • Current stored data is automatically migrated to the new algorithm upon startup for a limited amount of releases
• We now use the native produced executable instead of the .dll in docker images

Improvements

• Dropped the self-build HttpClient handling and adapted to Microsoft.Extensions.Http
  • This should improve the performance and reliability of all http requests

Fixes

• Fixed an issue resulting in exceptions when there was a malformed uri in the database
• Fixed a daily exception occurring when trying to check discord permissions

• Updated DSharpPlus to version 5.0.0-nightly-02544

2.6.0

2.6.0

General

• For a short while we now use a custom version of Lavalink4NET which includes a fix so we're able to update DSharpPlus to the latest version
  • This is a temporary solution until a PR with the fix gets merged

Additions

• Added two new commands azuracast station-nowplaying-embed and player streaming-nowplaying-embed
  • These commands allow you to create a persistent embed which shows the current song playing on the AzuraCast station or the streaming player
  • The embed will automatically update each minute
  • If you leave the optional channel parameter empty OR the music/station stops playing the embed will be deleted
• You can now specify the used backend database version in the DatabaseSettings section of your .json file
  • This can improve the translation of code to SQL specifically for your database version
  • Be aware that this setting is hidden and if you decide to use it, enter the version like in the following example "15.0"

Improvements

• Split up the maintenance jobs of the bot internals to make them more fail-safe
• Optimized some discord related code to improve performance
• Reordered and added some more info to embeds to make them more readable
• The volume parameter of the MusicStreaming commands now defaults to 50 and gets saved in the database so it's restored each reconnect
• Removed three layers of the dockerfile by combining ENV instructions

Fixes

• Long running songs are now correctly shown in now playing embeds

Development
