v5.0.0-alpha.21 | Small Event Changes

Overview

Almost ready for beta. This release changes a few event names and introduces a new interface GenericSessionEvent. With this, almost every breaking change that we had planned is completed. There will likely only be one more alpha release before bumping to beta.

Event Changes (#1952)

Events related to the active gateway session / main socket now have a common abstraction called GenericSessionEvent. We also changed a few event names for better clarity:

Old	New
DisconnectEvent	SessionDisconnectEvent
ReconnectedEvent	SessionRecreateEvent
ResumedEvent	SessionResumeEvent

All the session related events are now in a common package at net.dv8tion.jda.api.events.session, this also includes some breaking package changes for a few commonly used events like ReadyEvent.

Additionally, events for voice channels of guild members have been changed slightly. Previously, we provided 3 separate voice channel update events:

• GuildVoiceJoinEvent
• GuildVoiceLeaveEvent
• GuildVoiceMoveEvent

Due to the confusing nature of these events, we have decided to instead only provide a single GuildVoiceUpdateEvent. This new event provides the old and new channel, which can each be null to indicate either a leave (null new channel) or join (null old channel).
