This is a breaking change. The reason to make it a coroutine is so that
the info retrieval is not blocking since there are rare instances where
it would take an abnormally long time. The player returned is also
augmented to have more attributes relating to the stream itself.
This is a breaking change. This allows you to set both ffmpeg options
and regular ytdl options in the same function since we now just
forward the keyword arguments to the ffmpeg player.
Previously it would both forward and invoke depending if there were no
kwargs given. Now it just passes in the arguments to another command
without doing any special casing on the no argument case.
on_socket_raw_receive and on_socket_raw_send were added back in an odd
way. The rest of them such as on_socket_closed, on_socket_opened, and
on_socket_receive were removed.
This led to decorating a lot of things into @asyncio.coroutine.
Unfortunately there's no way to lower the amount of decoration since
coroutines spread like a virus.
The behaviour of passing in pm_help=None makes it so the bot will only
send private messages if the length of the message is too "big", which
is defined as having more than 1000 characters in the output.
There was a bug with has_permissions that checked the bot's permissions
instead of the message author which was also corrected. The docstring
itself hinted that it checked for the author rather than the bot.
This is a breaking change. Code will still work in Python 3.4 as-is but
if you use Python 3.5 you will have to change your code to the new
`async for` syntax as the older version is not supported in 3.5.
On the other hand, this comes with performance improvements if you use
Python 3.5 as it will lazily load 100 message chunks on an as needed
basis rather than loading all messages in one go.
