Welcome to the AUTOMATION update! We are finally starting to get into the more advanced aspects of TechnoBot, with features like auto-role and eventually auto feeds as well. You can now set several roles to be given to members upon joining your server! This update also includes many new fun and utility commands, ephemeral error messages, as well as a major change to the way /mute works (no more mute evasion).

We have also updated the license to Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International. This is a creative commons license that will better serve our project in the long run by preventing commercial copies from being distributed. It is crucial that you read over the new license or check out our breakdown in the project README if u intend on forking the repository.

New Features

Bug Fixes

• Fix issue with leveling messages displaying previous rank instead of current rank.
• Prevent console errors from missing permissions errors in leveling listener.
• Update bot invite link to include more permissions.
• Changed some repetitive wording on some economy responses.
