v5.0.0-alpha.12

Overview

This release contains a few tiny changes to improve the codebase, such as:

• FileProxy for downloading images and files from discord (replacing Message.Attachments#download)
• FileUpload for uploading images and files to discord (will be used for Message and Sticker creation)
• Message#getMentions to replace all the mention handling in message and interactions. (Such as Message#getMentionedUsers)

Example Mentions Changes

Old:

List<TextChannel> channels = message.getMentionedChannels(); // only handles TextChannel mentions
List<User> users = message.getMentionedUsers();

New:

List<GuildChannel> channels = message.getMentions().getChannels(); // handles all channel mentions
List<MessageChannel> messageChannels = message.getMentions().getChannels(MessageChannel.class); // filter by class type
List<User> users = message.getMentions().getUsers();
