0.5.2: pkg_resources is obsolete

Hotfix for the release 0.5, because we can't really expect people to have pkg_resources available (in particular when we don't have the dependency declared properly). So instead, we use importlib_metadata, at least until we drop support for Python 3.9 (see also #11).

Thank you @dgw for the hotfix!

0.5.1: packaging is difficult

Hotfix for the previous release, apparently something changed in how setuptools manage a package.find option so, it has to be fixed for this release.

0.5.0: modern packaging

In preparation of Sopel upcoming 8.0 release, sopel-help gets a bit of housekeeping:

• remove support for Python 3.7 (#9)
• modernize project's packaging (good bye setup.py, welcome pyproject.toml) (#9)
• bug fix: no more empty line (#7)

0.4.0: remove ubuntu & hastebin

This is the first release where sopel-help lose features:

• ubuntu provider has been removed, as the online service is made for human only usage, not automated tools such as Sopel
• hastebin provider has been removed, as the service has been acquired by an untrusted third party

On the plus side:

• sopel-help now requires Sopel 7.1+ and Python 3.7+
• sopel-help is now compatible with Sopel 8, allowing future improvement

0.3.0: .h and links

For this third release (beta) of sopel-help, two new little quality of life improvements:

• .h is now a shortcut for .help
• the local HTML help generator now generate link & anchor to each plugin name

Thanks to our contributors!

0.2.0: line threshold is now configurable

This second release (still in beta) of sopel-help brings a new feature: the number of lines of help message that can be sent to a channel is now configurable. By default, it's still 3.

The best way to configure the plugin is to use the official cli tool:

sopel-plugins configure help

Don't forget to use the -c option if needed.

This new feature has automated tests to ensure everything work as intended.

Compatible with Python 3.5+ and Sopel 7+ only.

Initial release
