This change was needed to allow users to more easily check if an
uploaded avatar was set using `if user.avatar:` rather than the
admittedly clunky `if user.avatar != user.default_avatar.
The old behaviour with a fallback is still useful for actual display
purposes, so it has been moved over to the new `User.display_avatar`
attribute. This also has symmetry with the newly added
`Member.display_avatar` attribute.
The first issue involved copied users which would lead to user updates
causing faster evictions of the cache than was expected.
The second issue involved users that weren't bound to an internal
lifetime eviction policy. These users would not get evicted.
For example, a user without mutual guilds or being part of the internal
cache in general (messages, DMs) would never end up being evicted for
some strange reason. To handle this case, store_user would get a
counterpart named create_user which would create a user without
potentially storing them in the cache. That way only users with a
bound lifetime within the library would be stored.
The previous protocol based tag type caused significant overhead
(in the magnitude of seconds). Removing this should simplify object
creation by removing typing.Generic from the __mro__
Adds an efficient way to check if a member has a role by ID.
This is done in a way consistent with the existing user API of the
library.
The more debated Member.has_role_id/has_role is intentionally not
included for review at this time given the heavy bikeshedding of it.
This is a breaking change.
This does the following transformations, assuming `asset` represents
an asset type.
Object.is_asset_animated() => Object.asset.is_animated()
Object.asset => Object.asset.key
Object.asset_url => Object.asset_url
Object.asset_url_as => Object.asset.replace(...)
Since the asset type now requires a key (or hash, if you will),
Emoji had to be flattened similar to how Attachment was done since
these assets are keyed solely ID.
Emoji.url (Asset) => Emoji.url (str)
Emoji.url_as => removed
Emoji.url.read => Emoji.read
Emoji.url.save => Emoji.save
This transformation was also done to PartialEmoji.
- fixes 4087
- This intentionally uses some internals in both Member.roles and
Member.top_role to retain as much performance as possible while
removing the cache
