v2.7.0

This release comes with support for python 3.11 and new selects.

Breaking Changes

• Properly document that Message.system_content may return None. While this is documented as a breaking change, this function always could return None if the message type was not recognised. ( #766 )
• Rename InteractionDataResolved.get() to get_by_id(). ( #814 )

Deprecations

• Rename ApplicationCommandInteractionDataResolved to InteractionDataResolved. ( #814 )
• [ ext.commands ] Deprecate the sync_commands, sync_commands_debug, and sync_commands_on_cog_unload parameters of Bot and InteractionBot. These have been replaced with the command_sync_flags parameter which takes a CommandSyncFlags instance. ( #806 )

New Features

• Update Message.system_content to be accurate to the client as of October 2022. ( #766 )
  • This also properly documents that it is possible to return None.

• Support Python 3.11. ( #785 , #827 , #829 , #833 )
