v6.3.1

Overview

This is primarily a bug fix release, but also includes a minor breaking change for emojis.

Enable users to choose the requested format of assets (#3009)

Most methods, that previously returned ImageProxy or an image URL, now support passing ImageFormat to choose a different format. This enables users to easily switch from PNG to WEBP or other formats.

Additionally, most of the template strings used to create image URLs, such as User.AVATAR_URL, have been deprecated in favor of the new DiscordAssets utility class. You can use DiscordAssets.userAvatar(ImageFormat.PNG, userId, avatarId) to get an ImageProxy instance and use ImageProxy#getUrl to get the respective URL.

Warning

Breaking Changes

• CustomEmoji#getImage and CustomEmoji#getImageUrl will now use webp format by default. This is due to API changes which make the gif format unreliable. See #2999 for details. You can use CustomEmoji#getImage(ImageFormat) to choose a different format, like ImageFormat.PNG or ImageFormat.GIF.
