This release is long overdue, but with it comes the decision to place v4 into LTS status.

Support for v4 will consist only of bug fixes from this point forward as development focus turns to v5. No additional features, documentation changes, or enhancements will be accepted for v4. Additionally, No changes to support the new GuildIntents.MESSAGE_CONTENT will be backported into v4. This shouldn't be a problem, as v4 handles things well, but it bares mentioning.

The LTS support timer will start once v5 reaches a level of maturity that we feel confident enough in, such that we would recommend transition to it for all developers. It will likely start once v5 hits beta and 6 months after that we will drop support for v4.

Going forward, we will be working on getting the v5.0.0 alpha builds out.

Also, Please take a moment to look at the deprecated features as they will all be removed in v5
