It’s been a productive month for BibleBot, with many improvements to performance and user experience, including a whole new command! We hope you like it!

Here’s just about all notable changes to the bot in the past year and 2 months.

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who helped us in our fundraiser for the Biblica royalty fee. This release is dedicated to you.

These are all the updates the bot has received since October 15th, 2021. The code freeze placed last update has been lifted and we’re currently prioritizing slash command migration.

These are all the updates the bot has received since June 26th. With the changes Discord is making to bots, we have initiated a code freeze for the current repository. In other words, no updates to the v9.1-beta code will be made as of September 16th onward, besides bugfixes to ensure continuity.
