0.6.0

Breaking changes this time involve the messages intent becoming priviliged in time. Everything in this is to try to make that transition easier.

New Features

• A new info command and config

• vbu run-shell as a new command line argument.

• vbu commands [add|remove] as a new command line argument.

• A drop-in replacement check for discord.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions() and discord.ext.commands.bot_has_guild_permissions() in the form of bot_has_permissions() and bot_has_guild_permissions(). These perform the original checks for message commands, and are ignored for application commands.

Changed Features

• Fixed ComponentInteractionPayload.update_message() not functioning the same as discord.Message.edit().

Bugs Fixed

• Fix error where the paginator says components are undefined.

• Fix slash command arguments not being stripped.
