v5.0.0-beta.11 | Bug fixes and embed from json

Overview

This release fixes a few issues introduced by the username changes. It also introduces EmbedBuilder.fromData as a way to deserialize embeds from JSON.

There are also some changes to our online presence.

• The JDA repository has moved to the discord-jda GitHub organization
• The javadocs moved away from the Jenkins CI host to GitHub pages and can be found at our wiki domain docs.jda.wiki
• All commits on the master branch will from now on build and upload artifacts using the Artifacts Workflow. Those artifacts stay up for a total of 90 days and can be downloaded as a zip file. All releases will continue to provide artifacts for that specific version indefinitely.

Create Embeds From JSON (#2471)

Using the new EmbedBuilder.fromData factory method, you can now create embed instances from JSON or ETF data.

MessageEmbed embed = new EmbedBuilder().setDescription("Hello, friend").build();

byte[] data = embed.toData().toJson(); // serialize to json data
Files.write(path, json); // store the embed somewhere on disk

DataObject json = DataObject.fromJson(Files.newInputStream(path)); // load the json data
MessageEmbed reconstructed = EmbedBuilder.fromData(json).build(); // reconstruct the same embed using the builder
