 Docker distribution of DiscordChatExporter provides a way to run the app in a virtualized and isolated environment. Due to the nature of Docker, you also don't need to install any prerequisites otherwise required by DCE.

 ## Pulling
 
 This will download the [Docker image from the registry](https://hub.docker.com/r/tyrrrz/discordchatexporter) to your computer. You can run this command again to update when a new version is released.
 
-```
+```console
 docker pull tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:stable
 ```
 
 Note the `:stable` tag. DiscordChatExporter images are tagged according to the following patterns:
 
-- `stable`: Latest stable version release and maps to the latest GitHub release. This tag is updated with release of each new version. Recommended for personal use.
-- `latest`: Built from the latest commit and maps to the latest CI build on GitHub. This tag is updated with each new commit to `master` branch. Not recommended for everyday use, but you can use it if you want to try out some features that haven't been officially released yet.
-- `x.y.z` (e.g. `2.30.1`): Fixed version release and maps to the corresponding tag on GitHub. This tag is never updated once that version has been released. Recommended for use in various automation scenarios.
+- `stable` — latest stable version release. This tag is updated with each release of a new project version. Recommended for personal use.
+- `x.y.z` (e.g. `2.30.1`) — specific stable version release. This tag is pushed when the corresponding version is released and never updated thereafter. Recommended for use in automation scenarios.
+- `latest` — latest (potentially unstable) build. This tag is updated with each new commit to the `master` branch. Not recommended, unless you want to test a new feature that has not been released in a stable version yet.

 ## Environment variables
 
-DiscordChatExpoter CLI accepts environment variables as fallbacks for the `--token` and `--bot` options.
+DiscordChatExpoter CLI accepts the `DISCORD_TOKEN` environment variable as a fallback for the `--token` option. You can set this variable either with the `--env` Docker option or with a combination of the `--env-file` Docker option and a `.env` file.
 
-- `DISCORD_TOKEN` to set the token
-- `DISCORD_TOKEN_BOT` to set whether it's a bot token (`true` or `false`)

-## Permission issues with Linux hosts
-
-When bounding volumes between the container and the host, files mirrored from the Docker container will be owned by the Docker user (in most setups this is `root`). Please refer to this [issue comment](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/issues/800#issuecomment-1030471970) for instructions on how to override this behavior.
-
-## Build Docker images for arm on Raspberry Pi
-
-If you use the Docker image on arm (for example Raspberry Pi), you'd build the image as below.
-
-```bash
-$ git clone https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter.git
-$ cd DiscordChatExporter
-$ docker build -f DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dockerfile -t tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:latest .
-```
-
-After a while, some images are built like below.
-
-```bash
-$ docker image ls
-REPOSITORY                         TAG       IMAGE ID       CREATED              SIZE

-mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime   3.1       6229bebd5a11   4 days ago           197MB
-```
-
-Among these, two images (`tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:latest` and `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/runtime:3.1`) are required, so you may delete the other two images.
-
-Now you can execute DiscordChatExporter:
-
-```bash
-$ docker run --rm tyrrrz/discordchatexporter:latest
-```

-- **Date range (after/before)** (Optional) - If set, only messages sent in the provided date range will be exported. Only one value (either after or before) is required if you want to use this option.
-  > **Note**:
-  > Please note that the time defaults to **12:00 AM** (midnight/00:00). This means that if you choose to export between Sep 17th and Sep 18th, messages from Sep 18th won't be exported.
-- **Filter** (Optional) - Special notation for filtering the messages that get included in the export. See [Message filters](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/blob/master/.docs/Message-filters.md) for more info.
-- **Messages per partition** (Optional) - Split output into partitions, each limited to this number of messages (e.g. 100) or file size (e.g. 10mb). For example, a channel with 36 messages set to be partitioned every 10 messages will output 4 files.
-- **Download assets** (Optional) - If this option is set, the export will include additional files such as user avatars, attached files, images, etc.
-  Only files that are referenced by the export are downloaded, which means that, for example, user avatars will not be downloaded when using the plain text (TXT) export format.

-
-> **Note**:
-> Options with an asterisk (**\***) are required. The order of the options doesn't matter.
-
-With this command you can export Server Channels and Direct Messages.
-
-##### Basic usage
-
-You can quickly export with DCE's default settings by using just `-t token` and `-c channelid`.
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555
-```
-
-##### Changing the format
-
-You can change the export format to `HtmlDark`, `HtmlLight`, `PlainText` `Json` or `Csv` with `-f format`. The default format is `HtmlDark`.
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -f Json
-```
-
-##### Changing the output filename
-
-You can change the filename by using `-o name.ext`. e.g. for the `HTML` format:
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o myserver.html
-```
-
-##### Changing the output directory
-
-You can change the export directory by using `-o` and providing a path that ends with a slash or does not have a file extension.
-If any of the folders in the path have a space in its name, escape them with quotes (").
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o "C:\Discord Exports"
-```
-
-##### Changing the filename and output directory
-
-You can change both the filename and export directory by using `-o directory\name.ext`.
-Note that the filename must have an extension, otherwise it will be considered a directory name.
-If any of the folders in the path have a space in its name, escape them with quotes (").
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o "C:\Discord Exports\myserver.html"
-```
-
-##### Generating the filename and output directory dynamically
-
-You can use template tokens to generate the output file path based on the guild and channel metadata.
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o "C:\Discord Exports\%G\%T\%C.html"
-```
-
-Assuming you are exporting a channel named `"my-channel"` in the `"Text channels"` category from a server called `"My server"`, you will get the following output file path: `C:\Discord Exports\My server\Text channels\my-channel.html`
-
-Here is the full list of supported template tokens:
-
-- `%g` - guild ID
-- `%G` - guild name
-- `%t` - category ID
-- `%T` - category name
-- `%c` - channel ID
-- `%C` - channel name
-- `%p` - channel position
-- `%P` - category position
-- `%a` - the "after" date
-- `%b` - the "before" date
-- `%%` - escapes `%`
-
-##### Partitioning
-
-You can use partitioning to split files after a given number of messages or file size.
-For example, a channel with 36 messages set to be partitioned every 10 messages will output 4 files.
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -p 10
-```
-
-A 45mb channel set to be partitioned every 20mb will output 3 files.
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -p 20mb
-```
-
-##### Downloading assets
-
-If this option is set, the export will include additional files such as user avatars, attached files, images, etc.
-Only files that are referenced by the export are downloaded, which means that, for example, user avatars will not be downloaded when using the plain text (TXT) export format.
-A folder containing the assets will be created along with the exported chat. They must be kept together.
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --media
-```
-
-##### Reuse assets
-
-Previously downloaded assets can be reused to skip redundant downloads as long as the chat is always exported to the same folder. Using this option can speed up future exports. This option requires the `--media` option.
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --media --reuse-media
-```
-
-##### Date formats
-
-This setting changes how dates are formatted in the exported files.
-
-- The default one is `17-Sep-19 11:34 PM` - `dd-MMM-yy hh:mm tt`
-- To change it to `09-17-19 11:34 PM` use `MM-dd-yy hh:mm tt`
-- To change it to `17/09/2019 23:34` use `dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm`
-- To change it to `2019-09-17 23:34:05.6534` use `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ffff`
-- To change it to UTC `2019-09-18 04:34:05Z` use `u`
-- To display the time zone, add `K`. E.g. to change it to `17-Sep-19 11:34 PM (UTC-05:00)` use `dd-MMM-yy hh:mm tt (UTCK)`
-- To change it to Unix time `1568694845` use `unix`
-- To change it to Unix time in milliseconds `1568694845653` use `unixms`

-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --dateformat "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm"
-```

-
-##### Date ranges
-
-**Messages sent before a date**
-Use `--before` to export messages sent before the provided date. E.g. messages sent before September 18th, 2019:
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --before 2019-09-18
-```
-
-**Messages sent after a date**
-Use `--after` to export messages sent after the provided date. E.g. messages sent after September 17th, 2019 11:34 PM:
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --after "2019-09-17 23:34"
-```
-
-**Messages sent in a date range**
-Use `--before` and `--after` to export messages sent during the provided date range. E.g. messages sent between September 17th, 2019 11:34 PM and September 18th:
-
-```powershell
-dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --after "2019-09-17 23:34" --before "2019-09-18"
-```
-
-You can try different formats like `17-SEP-2019 11:34 PM` or even refine your ranges down to milliseconds `17-SEP-2019 23:45:30.6170`!
-Don't forget to quote (") the date if it has spaces!

-To configure a filter, specify it in advanced export parameters when using the GUI or by passing the `--filter` option when using the CLI.
+To configure a filter, specify it in advanced export parameters when using the GUI or by passing the `--filter` option when using the CLI. For the CLI version, see also [caveats](#cli-caveats).
 
 ## Examples
 
 - Filter by user
 
-```
+```console
 from:Tyrrrz
 ```
 
 - Filter by user (with discriminator)
 
-```
+```console
 from:Tyrrrz#1234
 ```
 
 - Filter by message content (allowed values: `link`, `embed`, `file`, `video`, `image`, `sound`)
 
-```
+```console
 has:image
 ```
 
 - Filter by mentioned user (same rules apply as with `from:` filter)
 
-```
+```console
 mentions:Tyrrrz#1234
 ```
 
 - Filter by contained text (has word "hello" and word "world" somewhere in the message text):
 
-```
+```console
 hello world
 ```
 
 - Filter by contained text (has the string "hello world" somewhere in the message text):
 
-```
+```console
 "hello world"
 ```
 
 - Combine multiple filters ('and'):
 
-```
+```console
 from:Tyrrrz has:image
 ```
 
 - Same thing but with an explicit operator:
 
-```
+```console
 from:Tyrrrz & has:image
 ```
 
 - Combine multiple filters ('or'):
 
-```
+```console
 from:Tyrrrz | from:"96-LB"
 ```
 
 - Combine multiple filters using groups:
 
-```
+```console
 (from:Tyrrrz | from:"96-LB") has:image
 ```
 
 - Negate a filter:
 
-```
+```console
 -from:Tyrrrz | -has:image
 ```
 
 - Negate a grouped filter:
 
-```
+```console
 -(from:Tyrrrz has:image)
 ```
 
 - Escape special characters (`-` is escaped below, so it's not parsed as negation operator):
 
-```
+```console
 from:96\-LB
 ```
 
-## CLI Caveat
+## CLI Caveats
 
-Negated filters (those that start with `-`) may cause parsing issues when using the CLI version of DiscordChatExporter. To avoid this, use the tilde (`~`) character instead of the dash (`-`):
+In most cases, you will need to enclose your filter in quotes (`"`) to escape characters that may have special meaning in your shell:
 
+```console
+DiscordChatExporter.Cli export [...] --filter "from:Tyrrrz has:image"
 ```
+
+If you need to include quotes inside the filter itself as well, use single quotes (`'`) for those instead:
+
+```console
+DiscordChatExporter.Cli export [...] --filter "from:Tyrrrz 'hello world'"
+```
+
+Additionally, negated filters (those that start with `-`) may cause parsing issues even when enclosed in quotes. To avoid this, use the tilde (`~`) character instead of the dash (`-`):
+
+```console
 DiscordChatExporter.Cli export [...] --filter ~from:Tyrrrz

+
+## Step 3
+
+Now we're ready to run the commands. The examples on this page follow the Windows file path format, change the file
+paths according to your system.
+
+Type the following in Command Prompt (Terminal), then press ENTER to run it. This will list DCE's options.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll
+```
+
+> **Docker** users, please refer to the [Docker usage instructions](Docker.md).
+
+## CLI commands
+
+| Command                 | Description                                         |
+|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|

+| guide                   | Explains how to obtain token, guild, and channel ID |
+
+To use the commands, you'll need a token. For the instructions on how to get a token, please refer to [this page](Token-and-IDs.md), or run `dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll guide`.
+
+To get help with a specific command, run:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll command --help
+```
+
+For example, to figure out how to use the `export` command, run:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export --help
+```
+
+## Export a specific channel
+
+You can quickly export with DCE's default settings by using just `-t token` and `-c channelid`.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555
+```
+
+#### Changing the format
+
+You can change the export format to `HtmlDark`, `HtmlLight`, `PlainText` `Json` or `Csv` with `-f format`. The default
+format is `HtmlDark`.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -f Json
+```
+
+#### Changing the output filename
+
+You can change the filename by using `-o name.ext`. e.g. for the `HTML` format:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o myserver.html
+```
+
+#### Changing the output directory
+
+You can change the export directory by using `-o` and providing a path that ends with a slash or does not have a file
+extension.
+If any of the folders in the path have a space in its name, escape them with quotes (").
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o "C:\Discord Exports"
+```
+
+#### Changing the filename and output directory
+
+You can change both the filename and export directory by using `-o directory\name.ext`.
+Note that the filename must have an extension, otherwise it will be considered a directory name.
+If any of the folders in the path have a space in its name, escape them with quotes (").
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o "C:\Discord Exports\myserver.html"
+```
+
+#### Generating the filename and output directory dynamically
+
+You can use template tokens to generate the output file path based on the guild and channel metadata.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -o "C:\Discord Exports\%G\%T\%C.html"
+```
+
+Assuming you are exporting a channel named `"my-channel"` in the `"Text channels"` category from a server
+called `"My server"`, you will get the following output file
+path: `C:\Discord Exports\My server\Text channels\my-channel.html`
+
+Here is the full list of supported template tokens:
+
+- `%g` - guild ID
+- `%G` - guild name
+- `%t` - category ID
+- `%T` - category name
+- `%c` - channel ID
+- `%C` - channel name
+- `%p` - channel position
+- `%P` - category position
+- `%a` - the "after" date
+- `%b` - the "before" date
+- `%%` - escapes `%`
+
+#### Partitioning
+
+You can use partitioning to split files after a given number of messages or file size.
+For example, a channel with 36 messages set to be partitioned every 10 messages will output 4 files.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -p 10
+```
+
+A 45 MB channel set to be partitioned every 20 MB will output 3 files.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 -p 20mb
+```
+
+#### Downloading assets
+
+If this option is set, the export will include additional files such as user avatars, attached files, images, etc.
+Only files that are referenced by the export are downloaded, which means that, for example, user avatars will not be
+downloaded when using the plain text (TXT) export format.
+A folder containing the assets will be created along with the exported chat. They must be kept together.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --media
+```
+
+#### Reusing assets
+
+Previously downloaded assets can be reused to skip redundant downloads as long as the chat is always exported to the
+same folder. Using this option can speed up future exports. This option requires the `--media` option.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --media --reuse-media
+```
+
+#### Changing the media directory
+
+By default, the media directory is created alongside the exported chat. You can change this by using `--media-dir` and
+providing a path that ends with a slash. All of the exported media will be stored in this directory.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --media --media-dir "C:\Discord Media"
+```
+
+#### Changing the date format
+
+You can customize how dates are formatted in the exported files by using `--locale` and inserting one of Discord's
+locales. The default locale is `en-US`.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --locale "de-DE"
+```
+
+#### Date ranges
+
+**Messages sent before a date**
+Use `--before` to export messages sent before the provided date. E.g. messages sent before September 18th, 2019:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --before 2019-09-18
+```
+
+**Messages sent after a date**
+Use `--after` to export messages sent after the provided date. E.g. messages sent after September 17th, 2019 11:34 PM:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --after "2019-09-17 23:34"
+```
+
+**Messages sent in a date range**
+Use `--before` and `--after` to export messages sent during the provided date range. E.g. messages sent between
+September 17th, 2019 11:34 PM and September 18th:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll export -t "mfa.Ifrn" -c 53555 --after "2019-09-17 23:34" --before "2019-09-18"
+```
+
+You can try different formats like `17-SEP-2019 11:34 PM` or even refine your ranges down to
+milliseconds `17-SEP-2019 23:45:30.6170`!
+Don't forget to quote (") the date if it has spaces!
+More info about .NET date
+formats [here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings).
+
+### Export channels from a specific guild (server)
+
+To export all channels in a specific guild, use the `exportguild` command and provide the guild ID through the `-g|--guild` option:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll exportguild -t "mfa.Ifrn" -g 21814
+```
+
+#### Including threads
+
+By default, threads are not included in the export. You can change this behavior by using `--include-threads` and
+specifying which threads should be included. It has possible values of `none`, `active`, or `all`, indicating which
+threads should be included. To include both active and archived threads, use `--include-threads all`.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll exportguild -t "mfa.Ifrn" -g 21814 --include-threads all
+```
+
+#### Including voice channels
+
+By default, voice channels are included in the export. You can change this behavior by using `--include-vc` and
+specifying whether to include voice channels in the export. It has possible values of `true` or `false`, to exclude
+voice channels, use `--include-vc false`.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll exportguild -t "mfa.Ifrn" -g 21814 --include-vc false
+```
+
+### Export all channels
+
+To export all accessible channels, use the `exportall` command:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll exportall -t "mfa.Ifrn"
+```
+
+#### Excluding DMs
+
+To exclude DMs, add the `--include-dm false` option.
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll exportall -t "mfa.Ifrn" --include-dm false
+```
+
+### List channels in a guild (server)
+
+To list the channels available in a specific guild, use the `channels` command and provide the guild ID through the `-g|--guild` option:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll channels -t "mfa.Ifrn" -g 21814
+```
+
+### List direct message channels
+
+To list all DM channels accessible to the current account, use the `dm` command:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll dm -t "mfa.Ifrn"
+```
+
+### List guilds (servers)
+
+To list all guilds accessible by the current account, use the `guilds` command:
+
+```console
+dotnet DiscordChatExporter.Cli.dll guilds -t "mfa.Ifrn" > C:\path\to\output.txt
+```

+
+## Guide
+
+### Step 1
+
+After extracting the `.zip`, open `DiscordChatExporter.exe`
+
+### Step 2
+
+Please refer to the on-screen instructions to get your token, then paste your token in the upper text box and hit ENTER or click the arrow (→).
+
+> **Warning**:
+> **Never share your token!**
+> A token gives full access to an account, treat it like a password.
+
+<img src="https://i.imgur.com/SuLQ5tZ.png" height="400"/>
+
+### Step 3
+
+DCE will display your Direct Messages and a sidebar with your server list. Select the channel you would like to export, then click the ![Screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/dnTOlDa.png) button to continue.
+
+> **Note**:
+> You can export multiple channels at once by holding `CTRL` or `SHIFT` while selecting.
+> You can also double-click a channel to export it without clicking the ![Screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/dnTOlDa.png) button.
+
+<img src="https://i.imgur.com/JHMFRh2.png" height="400"/>
+
+### Step 4
+
+In this screen you can customize the following:
+
+- **Output path** - The folder where the exported chat(s) will be saved.
+
+- **Export format** - HTML (Dark), HTML (Light), TXT, CSV and JSON
+
+- **Date range (after/before)** (Optional) - If set, only messages sent in the provided date range will be exported. Only one value (either after or before) is required if you want to use this option.
+  > **Note**:
+  > Please note that the time defaults to **12:00 AM** (midnight/00:00). This means that if you choose to export between Sep 17th and Sep 18th, messages from Sep 18th won't be exported.
+
+- **Partition limit** (Optional) - Split output into partitions, each limited to this number of messages (e.g. 100) or file size (e.g. 10mb). For example, a channel with 36 messages set to be partitioned every 10 messages will output 4 files.
+
+- **Message Filter** (Optional) - Special notation for filtering the messages that get included in the export. See [Message filters](Message-filters.md) for more info.
+
+- **Format markdown** (Optional) - Disable markdown processing when exporting. You can use this to produce JSON or plain text exports without unwrapping mentions, custom emoji, and certain other special tokens.
+
+- **Download assets** (Optional) - If this option is set, the export will include additional files such as user avatars, attached files, images, etc. Only files that are referenced by the export are downloaded, which means that, for example, user avatars will not be downloaded when using the plain text (TXT) export format. A folder containing the assets will be created along with the exported chat. They must be kept together.
+
+- **Reuse assets** (Optional) - If this option is set, the export will reuse already downloaded assets to skip redundant requests. This option is only available when **Download assets** is enabled.
+
+- **Assets directory path** (Optional) - If this option is set, the export will use the specified directory to store assets from all exported channels in the same place.
+
+> **Note**:
+> You need to scroll down to see all available options.
+
+## Settings
+
+- **Auto-update**
+Perform automatic updates on every launch.
+Default: Enabled
+
+  > **Note**:
+  > Keep this option enabled to receive the latest features and bug fixes!
+
+- **Dark mode**
+Use darker colors in the UI (User Interface).
+Default: Disabled
+
+- **Persist token**
+Persist last used token between sessions.
+Default: Enabled
+
+- **Show threads**
+Controls whether threads are shown in the channel list.
+Default: none
+
+- **Locale**
+Customize how dates are formatted in the exported files.
+
+- **Date format**
+Customize how dates are formatted in the exported files in the settings menu ().
+
+- **Parallel limit**
+The number of channels that will be exported at the same time.
+Default: 1
+
+- **Normalize to UTC**
+Convert all dates to UTC before exporting.
+
+  > **Note**:
+  > Try to keep this number low so that your account doesn't get flagged.

-        - Provide as much context as possible in the details section. Include screenshots, screen recordings, links, references, or anything else you may consider relevant.
-        - If you want to ask a question instead of reporting a bug, please use [discussions](https://github.com/Tyrrrz/DiscordChatExporter/discussions/new) instead.

 # Changelog
 
+## v2.42.5 (23-Nov-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where the application crashed when trying to export a channel that contained a message with an invalid timestamp (e.g. `<t:0:x>`).
+
+## v2.42.4 (16-Nov-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Switched from .NET 7.0 to .NET 8.0. If running on Windows, the application should update all required prerequisites automatically. Alternatively, you can download the latest version of the runtime for your system [here](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0).
+- CLI changes:
+  - Added a message that is displayed when the application is running with the output stream redirected, informing the user that they will not get rich progress reporting in this mode.
+- GUI changes:
+  - Changed the presentation of the "Reuse assets" and "Assets path" options, such that the corresponding controls are now disabled if the "Download assets" option is not enabled.
+- HTML changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where exporting a channel with a custom assets path could result in an HTML output that did not render properly in Firefox.
+
+## v2.42.3 (09-Nov-2023)
+
+- JSON changes:
+  - Added the `video` field to the embed object, which may contain additional information about an embedded video resource.
+- CSV changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where the `Date` field was incorrectly formatted. Now, the dates follow the `ISO 8601` standard.
+
+## v2.42.2 (26-Oct-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where trying to export a channel that contained application interactions with empty command names crashed the application.
+
+## v2.42.1 (19-Oct-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Improved the error message shown when trying to export a forum channel. Such channels cannot be exported directly, you need to fetch and export their individual threads instead.
+- CLI changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where fetching threads with `[` or `]` in their name crashed the application.
+
+## v2.42 (12-Oct-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where the "reuse assets" option did not work as intended due to Discord recently introducing signatures in the CDN URLs. (Thanks [@slatinsky](https://github.com/slatinsky))
+- CLI changes:
+  - Added progress reporting for the "fetching channels" stage of the `exportguild` and `exportall` commands. (Thanks [@slatinsky](https://github.com/slatinsky))
+
+## v2.41.2 (05-Oct-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Added a check that will trigger an error if the provided bot account does not have the message content intent enabled. Unlike the previous attempt, this approach does not rely on heuristics.
+
+## v2.41.1 (28-Sep-2023)
+
+- CLI changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where the export failed to export channels with an empty name.
+
+## v2.41 (15-Sep-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Replaced the "date format" option with a "locale" option. Now, you can choose one of the locales supported by the Discord app, and DiscordChatExporter will infer all the required date, time, and number formats automatically. In GUI, the locale can be selected from the settings window. In CLI, the locale can be specified using the `--locale` option (e.g. `--locale "en-US"`). By default, the current system locale is used.
+  - Optimized the algorithm for fetching threads to improve performance. (Thanks [@slatinsky](https://github.com/slatinsky))
+- GUI changes:
+  - Improved the initial load time after submitting the token. Now, only the guilds are loaded initially, and the channels are loaded on-demand when the user selects a guild. This should significantly improve performance for accounts with many guilds.
+  - Added an option to include threads in the channel list, which is configurable in settings. When enabled, threads will appear at the bottom of the list, grouped by the parent channel. Note that pulling threads (especially archived threads) can be a very time-consuming process, depending on the guild size. By default, threads are not included.
+- CLI changes:
+  - Added a warning when using the `--bot` option, informing that it's obsolete and shouldn't be used.
+  - Changed the `--include-threads` option on the `channels` command from a switch (boolean) option, to an enum (choice) option. It now has possible values of `none`, `active`, or `all`, indicating which threads should be included. To include both active and archived threads, use `--include-threads all`. For backwards compatibility, the `--include-threads` option can still be used as a switch, in which case it will be treated as `--include-threads active`. Note that pulling threads (especially archived threads) can be a very time-consuming process, depending on the guild size.
+  - Added the `--include-threads` option to the `exportguild` and `exportall` commands. Using this option, you can specify whether to include threads (and which type) in the export. By default, threads are not included.
+  - Added the `--include-vc` option to the `channels` command. Using this option, you can specify whether to include voice-channel-accompanying text channels in the output. By default, these channels are included.
+  - Changed the progress reporting behavior of export commands such that tasks are now hidden on completion if parallelization is enabled (i.e. `--parallel` is set to `2` or higher). This should help improve visual clarity when exporting many channels in parallel.
+
+## v2.40.4 (11-Aug-2023)
+
+- HTML changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where the "call lasted for X minutes" system message was unnecessarily too precise. Now, it's rounded to the nearest minute.
+  - Fixed an issue where multi-line quote blocks with empty lines in the middle were rendered as separate blocks.
+- JSON changes:
+  - Added the `users` field to the reaction object, containing an array with limited information about the users that reacted with that particular emoji. (Thanks [@slatinsky](https://github.com/slatinsky))
+
+## v2.40.3 (29-Jul-2023)
+
+- GUI changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where guild categories were rendered with blank names.
+
+## v2.40.2 (27-Jul-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Improved error reporting on unexpected HTTP errors.
+- CLI changes:
+  - Fixed an issue which caused a crash when trying to export a private (but accessible) channel inside a private (but not accessible) category.
+
+## v2.40.1 (21-Jul-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Fixed an issue where the fallback avatar (i.e. the avatar used for when the user doesn't have a custom one set) was not resolved properly for users that don't have a discriminator.
+- CLI changes:
+  - Added the `--include-vc` option to the `exportall` and `exportguild` commands, which instructs whether to include voice-channel-accompanying text channels in the export. By default, this is set to `true` to match the previous behavior. To disable the option, use `--include-vc false`.
+- GUI changes:
+  - Replaced the blur effect applied to the token text box with a password mask.
+- JSON format changes:
+  - Added the `exportedAt` field to the export metadata, which contains the timestamp corresponding to when the export was created. (Thanks [@slatinsky](https://github.com/slatinsky))
+  - Added the `roles` field to the object describing a user. This field contains an array of objects that describe the roles assigned to the user. (Thanks [@slatinsky](https://github.com/slatinsky))
+
+## v2.40 (08-Jun-2023)
+
+- General changes:
+  - Added support for users that don't have discriminators.
+  - Added a precondition check that verifies whether the requested channel contains any messages for the specified period, before starting the export process. This check works by comparing the export bounds against the ID of the last message in the channel, which is provided by the Discord API as part of the channel metadata. When exporting many channels in batches (e.g. using the `exportall` command), this check may eliminate a significant number of unnecessary API calls and speed up the export process.
+- CLI changes:
+  - Extended the `channels` command with the `--include-threads` option. When this option is provided, the command will include channel threads in the output. (Thanks [@WAUthethird](https://github.com/WAUthethird))
+  - Simplified the information in the `guide` command related to the extraction of DM channel IDs. Discord now provides a native way of copying IDs of DM channels, so the previous devtools-based workaround is no longer necessary.
+- GUI changes:
+  - Added a blur effect to the token text box, which activates when the control loses focus. This is done to reduce the risk of accidentally exposing the token when taking screenshots.
+- HTML format changes:
+  - Added support for the header markdown syntax.
+  - Added support for the list markdown syntax.
+
+## v2.39.1 (10-Mar-2023)
+
+- Fixed an issue where messages containing mentions of users that left the server (but haven't deleted their account) were incorrectly rendered as `@Unknown`.
+- Fixed an issue where messages containing video links were not rendered correctly in the HTML export. Now, they are rendered using a video player and the referenced assets are pulled if the "download assets" option is enabled.
+
+## v2.39 (25-Feb-2023)
+
+- Added an option to specify the directory path for downloaded assets. This can be used, in combination with the "reuse assets" option, to have a shared asset directory for multiple exports. In GUI, this option can be found in the advanced section of the export dialog. In CLI, it's available as `--media-dir <path>`. (Thanks [@96-LB](https://github.com/96-LB))
+- Added support for server-level user avatars. If a user has a custom avatar set on the server, it will be rendered instead of their main avatar.
+- CLI changes:
+  - Extended the `exportall` command with the `--data-package` option. You can use this option to provide the path to your personal data package (`package.zip` file), requested from Discord. When provided, the command will pull channels listed in the package instead of using the Discord API to query them. This can be particularly useful if you want to export DM channels that have been closed, as the personal data package should still contain their IDs.
+- HTML format changes:
+  - Added support for rendering group DM channel invites.
+  - Changed the primary font from `Whitney` to `gg sans` to match the new Discord design.
+  - Fixed an issue where the external font sometimes failed to load if the export was created with the "download assets" option enabled.
+  - Fixed an issue where `gifv` attachments were incorrectly treated as images instead of video files.
+
 ## v2.38 (16-Feb-2023)
 
 - General changes:
+  - Added an option to disable markdown processing when exporting. You can use this to produce JSON or plain text exports without unwrapping mentions, custom emoji, and certain other special tokens. In GUI, this option can be found in the export dialog. In CLI, it's available as the `--markdown <true|false>` flag.
   - Added support for different formatting options when rendering timestamps (i.e. the `f` in `<t:1234567890:f>`). As an exception, relative timestamps are formatted as regular timestamps since that makes more sense in a static export. Currently, all formatting options are rendered based on the `English (US)` locale, with the intent to make that more configurable in the future.
-  - Added an option to disable markdown processing when exporting. You can use this to produce JSON or plain text exports without unwrapping mentions, custom emoji, and certain other special tokens.
-  - Moved the "reuse assets" option from the settings dialog to the export dialog.
   - Changed the default date format from `dd-MMM-yy hh:mm tt` to `MM/dd/yyyy h:mm tt` to match the date format used by Discord for message timestamps when the `English (US)` language is selected. This should make the default date format more consistent with other non-configurable date formats used by DiscordChatExporter. In the future, this setting will most likely be removed entirely in favor of a more flexible approach.
   - Updated the usage guide with additional steps required to retrieve the user token.
   - Fixed an issue where certain user mentions were incorrectly rendered as `@Unknown`.
   - Fixed an issue where some embed images were rendered using their actual URLs instead of Discord proxy URLs.
-- GUI changes: 
-  - Added a text box for specifying the output path when exporting channels. It can be used to set an output path that uses template tokens, which previously required hacky workarounds. This text box can be left empty, in which case clicking on the "Export" button will open the file or folder picker dialog, matching the current behavior.

   - Added a notification when the application is updated to a new version, containing the changelog link.
+  - Moved the "reuse assets" option from the settings dialog to the export dialog.
   - Replaced the lock icon in the token text box with a key icon, to better reflect the purpose of the input.
   - Minor cosmetic improvements.
 - CLI changes:
   - Changed the behavior of the `export` command when providing IDs of category channels. Now, instead of displaying an error, the command will export all channels contained within the corresponding categories.
-- HTML format changes: 
+- HTML format changes:
   - Added proper support for more system notification messages.
   - Added support for rendering server invites. Now, if the message contains an invite link, the export will show the server icon and include additional information, such as the name of the server and the target channel.
-  - Changed the preamble part of the export to show the channel icon when available, instead of the default Discord logo. This is only available for group DM channels.

   - Fixed an issue where some miscellaneous characters were incorrectly treated as emoji, which resulted in them being rendered as broken images. (Thanks [@CanePlayz](https://github.com/CanePlayz))
   - Fixed an issue where messages triggered by app interactions were not rendered as replies.
   - Fixed an issue where server cross-posts were not rendered correctly.
