v5.0.0-beta.13

Overview

This release includes a few bug fixes and a new FileUpload variant to optimize memory usage when uploading larger files.

Supplier FileUpload (#2508)

With the new FileUpload.fromStreamSupplier, an upload will no longer retain the entire file content in memory. This comes at the cost of having to re-read the source each time.

Example:

FileUpload.fromStreamSupplier("image.png", () -> {
    return new FileInputStream("myimage.png");
});

Each time the request is attempted, which can be more than once due to rate-limit retries, the supplier is used to create a new readable input stream of the file. Once the request successfully writes the entire body, the stream is closed again.

Note that the supplier must always return a new instance or reset the stream accordingly.

Getting Message Author from Reactions (#2499)

The MessageReactionAddEvent now provides the author id of the original message. This can be useful in situations where retrieving the message is too expensive.
