Latest changes and decisions!

Hey hey hey!
I hope you all had a wonderful first of the month and stumble through life healthy and happy!

Today I will share with you what happened in the releases 3.0.16 and 3.0.17 and some news regarding the future of Ree6! How about we start with 3.0.16?

In 3.0.16 I fixed up some nasty bugs that I have not noticed since those 2 specific features have been added. It sounds weird given that the bugs regarding these features are very obvious and just a byproduct of me not checking if everything works the way intended.

The first bug is related to the Voice Levels and the second one relates to the Statistics channels. For the first one, I simply forgot to reset the current progress and keep the progress Server specific! You might ask yourself, how did you not notice this for almost 2 years? My answer to that question is, I don't really know.

Anyways! Let's continue with the Statisticschannels, this also sounds simple and silly, but I forgot to set the connect permissions on the channels, which means anyone was able to join those channels! Again very silly.

Now that we have talked about the bugs, let's talk about the new feature that has been added with 3.0.16!

With 3.0.16 Ree6 officially supports LavaLink!
What does that mean? Well for our users nothing really.
But for people who want to self-host Ree6, this is great news since they can now connect Ree6 to a bigger Network of LavaLink which allows them to give their users a better Music experience!

We reached the end of 3.0.16 now comes 3.0.17!

The release of 3.0.17 was more of a bug fix release since we only added a single feature but fixed a few bugs.

Firstly in this version, we updated the Installer to use the newer config values to make it easier for Ree6 to load them. And we fixed a simple bug in our Giveaway System which allowed bots to join it as well. That's a no-go!

And at last, we have a new contributor! Thanks to Louan Fontenele we now support Portugues (BR)!

Sadly this was it for 3.0.17, there weren't any funny bug fixes :c

On the release of 1.6.0 I stated that Ree6 will be supported for at least the next 2-3 years, this message was from the 5th February of 2022. Until now it was a great way, I met a lot of new people, I improved a lot in programming, and I learned a lot about stuff that I thought I would never need but ended up needing. So let me first say thank you, for supporting my work and being interested in it! But as everything has to come to an end, I will stop working on Ree6 in late 2024 or somewhere in 2025.

For the time being though, Ree6 will receive an update near Christmas Eve, I don't celebrate Christmas but still want to spend time with my family and friends, so there will be no other updates coming 2 weeks before the new year.

Cheers,
