Why removing dependencies

Because I wish to keep the project minimal, only have the bare minimum to run it and no bloat. If there is a little to no reason to have something around, you bet it will be removed instantly. Yarl was just wasteful where I only used it for very simple tasks, so I replaced it with a self-made class that takes advantage of Python's built-in libraries while keeping somewhat the same syntax as yarl.

Quart's removal was because I was already using aiohttp for HTTP requests out and WebSocket service, so I might as well take advantage of the fact that it also provides a way of serving a web server to get the POST requests from Discord API, while also being a faster alternative to the previous web server the library was using. For people who were using the backend code method, you will have to change your code to adapt, otherwise if you did not use a custom backend, you can skip this part and continue hosting your bot as per usual.

Full Changelog: 2.4.0...2.4.1

Version 2.4.0

This is a breaking change due to behaviour change of modals in discord_http.View

• Fixed icon and banner for guild during guild_update event not updating
• Fixed type hints on various places
• Removed duplicate docs for arguments, parameters and attributes
• Improved docs quality by adding more attribute docs
• Filled missing flags for Permissions
• Improved error for when you do not return a response with interactions
• Added support for modal string select (phase 1 of modal update, breaking change)

How does the breaking change work?

In modals, you basically have to spesify what kind of item you are adding. Before, it was simply this example:

from discord_http import Modal
modal = Modal(title="Hello world")
modal.add_item(label="Test")

However now, to do the same thing, you will have to do the following:

from discord_http import Modal, TextInputComponent
modal = Modal(title="Hello world")
modal.add_item(TextInputComponent(
    label="Test"
))

This addition is to make sure that if they plan to add more things in later time, it will be dynamic and easy to update it without causing yet another breaking change. You can honestly just slap TextInputComponent on all current modal.add_item() if anything, it might work, but it will remain labeled as a breaking change since it breaks current structure too much.
