All notable changes to Server Assistant. Format follows Keep a Changelog, versioning follows Semantic Versioning.

The latest patches are also posted to #bot-feedback in the support server.

---

[3.2.6] — 2026-05-10

Fixed

• Directory stats sync switched from threaded urllib to native aiohttp — eliminates a thread spawn every 30 minutes that some hosts associated with a brief cmd-window flash.

---

[3.2.5] — 2026-05-10

Added

• Bot directory stats sync — pushes live server count to discordbotlist.com and top.gg every 30 minutes. Listings now show live counts instead of “Servers: unknown.”

---

[3.2.4] — 2026-05-10

Security

• AutoMod custom regex ReDoS guard — admin-supplied filter patterns with nested quantifiers, alternation-in-repeat, or optional-in-repeat are rejected at add-time. Stops a single bad pattern from locking the message-handling event loop.

Performance

• Parallel channel scan in user-history search — staff history now scans channels concurrently instead of sequentially.

Added

• tests/ with pytest covering announce, telemetry, and the ReDoS heuristic. CI runs the suite on every push.

---

[3.2.3] — 2026-05-10

Fixed

• Scheduled tasks not firing — a stub defined later in the module was silently overwriting the real process_scheduled_tasks() implementation. /schedule reminders now actually execute. Thanks to Jules for catching this.

Security

• Vault key file and vault save now use atomic O_CREAT | O_EXCL with mode 0o600, closing the race where freshly written secrets briefly had umask permissions before chmod.

Changed

• yt_notify.py state file writes are now atomic (temp + rename), surviving interrupted writes.
• Staff actions / audit command no longer blocks the event loop when the log file is large.

Repo housekeeping

• Dependency floors bumped via Dependabot.

---

[3.2.2] — 2026-05-10

Added

• AI usage tracking — chat completions now record input/output tokens per provider/model; image generations record per-provider call counts. Stored locally in telemetry.json, never transmitted.
• “AI Usage…” tray menu item — opens a window with per-provider totals and an estimated USD cost. Covers xAI Grok, OpenAI chat + DALL·E 3, Stability SDXL, and Pollinations.

---

[3.2.1] — 2026-05-10

Added

• Public Changelog page at /changelog/ on the docs site, mirrored from the bot’s internal CHANGELOG.md.
• announce.py — helper that posts release notes to the public #bot-feedback channel.

Changed

• Public docs nav: Privacy and Terms are now correctly capitalised.

Removed

• Legacy files no longer used by the bot.

---

[3.2.0] — 2026-05-10

Added

• First-steps guide — after /setup completes, the bot auto-posts a 5-message walkthrough to the configured staff-chat channel covering core commands, slash commands, right-click menus, and /settings.
• Right-click discoverability — /help, the text help command, and the on_guild_join welcome DM all now surface the Apps ▸ Server Assistant context menus (View Info, View Warnings, Report Message).
• /vote slash command — links to the bot’s directory listings for users who want to support the project.
• Public documentation site — full Setup, Commands, Features, FAQ, Support, Privacy, and Terms pages.

Fixed

• Duplicate context-menu entries — View Info / View Warnings / Report Message were appearing twice in the Apps submenu. Startup now clears stale guild-scoped commands and re-syncs cleanly.
• detect_action() keyword priority — the parser now matches the earliest-position keyword within each priority tier instead of relying on Python set-iteration order. Fixes cases like schedule in 3 days: check ... being mis-routed to the check action.

Changed

• Slash commands sync to all configured guilds on startup for instant propagation (no more 1-hour wait after restarts).

---

[3.1.0] — 2026-05-09

Added

• Premium architecture stub — every guild gets full access during the growth phase; pricing flips on post-launch.
• Privacy-respecting telemetry — anonymous local counters for AutoMod blocks, images generated, warnings issued, etc. Never transmitted off the host.
• Privacy + Terms documents — required for Discord verification.
• GitHub repository with CI workflow, Dependabot, issue and PR templates.

Changed

• Bot version bumped to 3.1.0.

---

[3.0.0] — 2026-05-01

Added

• Multi-tenant architecture — bot can be invited to any server; each server gets isolated configuration, warnings, notes, AutoMod rules, and settings.
• /setup wizard — interactive 3-step config (channels, roles, AI provider) for new server owners.
• /settings Customisation Hub — 7 sub-wizards for branding, presets, behaviour, new-member features, verification, channel allowlist, and role tiers.
• Encrypted secrets vault — Fernet-encrypted on-disk storage for all credentials.
• AI image generation (/imagine) — supports DALL·E 3, Stable Diffusion, and Pollinations.ai (free fallback).
• Per-server custom branding — embed colour, bot nickname, default timezone.
• Punishment ladder presets — Gentle / Standard / Strict.
• AutoMod filter packs — Off / Scams only / Scams + slurs / Strict.
• Anti-raid sensitivity presets — Off / Normal / Strict.
• Onboarding template gallery — Friendly / Gaming / Professional / Minimal / Custom.
