Update: v9.2-beta (build 559)

Changelog

Noticeable Changes

• Updated links in /biblebot.
• Optimized verse processing, more noticeable in heavier requests.
• Implemented emboldening queries in /search results for API.Bible (ab) versions.
• Added /booklist, which will show all available books in your preferred translation (or a specified one like /booklist abbreviation:KJV).
• The abbreviation parameter in /versioninfo is now optional and will use your preferred translation if one is not specified.
• Added source information to /versioninfo, mostly useful for our developers.
• Optimized all DB requests.
• Moved our production database to France (from East US), for reduced connection times with the rest of our infrastructure, which is in Germany.
• Added newer Markdown formatting in certain commands.
• Sprinkled some new emojis into responses and replaced some existing emojis.

• Added number markers to paragraphed resources.

Unnoticeable Changes

• Updated to .NET 7.
• Optimized memory allocation of some utility functions.
