Changelog 11/27/20
ChannelBot v4, new website, dashboard, and reorganized docs!
After months of tiring work, we're happy to bring you ChannelBot version 4! We've added new features, fixed bugs, recoded every single command, built a dashboard and changed up our website! Thank you so much for waiting, and we're thankful that you were part of this journey. First of all, I'd like to give a big thank you to our wonderful beta testers! Zoin, BeanJR, Differential flux, Reptetion, unbelievable 🍕, and Ryan, and an even bigger thanks to Mason for helping A LOT with the development of version 4.
We've changed ChannelBot's database to MongoDB from JSON, which is a lot more secure, faster, and gives us a lot more flexibility! And last but not least, we're excited to release our Dashboard! Though it has only basic settings, it's a lot easier to manage some things on the dashboard instead of with commands on Discord. This dashboard is still new, and there may be some bugs crawling around, so be sure to let us know if you find any! Check it out here.

- Removed Features/Commands
All Moderation Commands
Being the most incomplete and unused module, we've decided to remove the kick and ban commands, as we wanted to go more in depth into the channel management and server management field.
Role Mentions In Commands
ChannelBot no longer sees role mentions as a role resolvable. This means that when the bot asks for a role in a command, it's asking for a role name.
Delete Pin Delay
ChannelBot now instantly deletes pinned message notifications instead of allowing you to set the delay before it does.
Development Template
We've removed the development template, as it isn't used very much anymore.
Premium Additions
Default Roles
Select the roles that ChannelBot changes permissions for when running the lock, unlock, hide, and show commands!

You can now specify multiple permissions at once, as well as adding voice channel permissions.

Premium servers can now bypass the upvote restriction for backups.
