Updates and Releases

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.
