## Changelog

The brief, illustrious history of `sopel-rainbow`, a silly little plugin
spawned from [a tongue-in-cheek
upstream issue](https://github.com/sopel-irc/sopel/issues/1962).


### sopel-rainbow 0.2.0

Changed:

* Dropped support for Sopel<7.1 + Python<3.8
  * `sopel.module` -> `sopel.plugin`
  * Removed shim around `sopel.formatting.plain()` function
  * Updated `__future__` imports
  * Removed UTF-8 coding comment

Added:

* Use `unicodedata2` if it's installed

Fixed:

* `random_start` setting (broken by changes in [#1][])
* Errors in `sopel-plugins configure rainbow`
  * Wrong setting name (`rainbow` -> `order`)
  * Wrong default value type (`list[int]` -> `list[str]`)

Meta:

* Reorganized to match current Sopel standard (mainly putting "the
  actual plugin" in a `plugin.py` file, not `__init__.py`)
* Updated packaging to use `pyproject.toml` metadata
* Added release automation using PyPI Trusted Publishing
