Remarks
This update contains some of the most noticeable changes to the bot since v9.3.0. The bot now utilizes Discord’s Components V2 instead of the old embed styling. It looks mostly the same, but you’ll find that the containers now have more space to work with, which means verses shouldn’t take up as much space as before.
Automatic daily verses now support server display styles, so you can now get those in blockquote and code styles as opposed to being stuck solely on the embed option.
We’ve also added proper support for the user-installable app capability on Discord, which means that you can take BibleBot on-the-go and use it in servers that don’t have it installed. Core functionality in this context means that you’d use /verse for making verse references, or right clicking on a message with a Bible reference and clicking Apps > Fetch Verse Content:
Of course, be sure to respect your local server’s rules. Other restrictions apply too, server-specific commands like /setserverversion, any of the automatic daily verse commands, etc. are not available in the user app context. You can install BibleBot as a user app by clicking the “Add App” button when clicking on the bot’s mini-profile:
We also introduced a visual facelift in our branding, something to refresh the look a bit alongside the other visual changes we have in this update.
Otherwise, that’s about it! We’ll have our command reference page updated soon with the new /verse command for the user app and detail that out some more. If you find any issues, shoot us a ping in the support server or file a bug on GitLab.
Many thanks for your support.
