+## [1.1.0-alpha.3] - 2026-06-15
+
+### New Features
+
+- **IDiscordClient interface** (`PawSharp.Client`)
+  - New `IDiscordClient` interface with 130+ methods, 8 properties, 2 events, and 74 gateway event subscriptions.
+  - `DiscordClient` now implements `IDiscordClient` — all existing code continues to work.
+  - `PawSharpClientBuilder.Build()` returns `IDiscordClient`.
+  - DI registration registers both `IDiscordClient` and `DiscordClient` for backward compatibility.
+  - Enables full mocking via Moq for unit tests.
+
+- **Connection state tracking** (`PawSharp.Client`)
+  - Added `ClientConnectionState` enum (`Disconnected`, `Connecting`, `Connected`, `Disconnecting`).
+  - `DiscordClient.ConnectionState` property and `ConnectionStateChanged` event.
+  - `DiscordClient.IsConnected` helper property.
+  - `DiscordClient.ReconnectAsync()` for graceful disconnect-reconnect cycles.
+  - State transitions are tracked during `ConnectAsync()` and `DisconnectAsync()`.
+
+- **Global exception handler infrastructure** (`PawSharp.Client`)
+  - Added `DiscordClient.SetupGlobalExceptionHandlers()` static method.
+  - Wires `AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException` and `TaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException`.
+  - Optional logger and custom callback parameters.
+
+- **Command module auto-discovery** (`PawSharp.Commands`)
+  - `CommandsExtension.RegisterModulesInAssembly()` — discovers and registers all `BaseCommandModule` subclasses in an assembly.
+  - `CommandsExtension.RegisterSlashModulesInAssemblyAsync()` — same, but as slash commands.
+  - `UseCommandsWithAutoDiscovery()` extension method for one-liner setup.
+  - Modules are resolved via service provider when available, falling back to `Activator.CreateInstance`.
+
+- **Convenience methods on DiscordClient** (`PawSharp.Client`)
+  - `SendDirectMessageAsync(ulong userId, string content)` — creates DM channel and sends message.
+  - `TrySendMessageAsync(ulong channelId, string content)` — returns null on failure instead of throwing.
+  - `TryReplyAsync(MessageCreateEvent, string)` — non-throwing reply helper.
+  - `SendEmbedAsync(ulong channelId, Embed embed)` — shorthand for sending a single embed.
+  - `GetOrCreateThreadAsync(ulong channelId, string threadName, ...)` — find or create a thread.
+
+- **Builder validation** (`PawSharp.Client`)
+  - `PawSharpClientBuilder.Build()` now validates token (not null/empty), intents (not `None`), API version (in supported range).
+  - All validation errors include actionable messages.
+  - Added `PawSharpClientBuilder.Create()` static factory method.
+
+- **XML documentation with code examples** (across all projects)
+  - Added `<example>` blocks to 30+ methods across `DiscordClient`, `PawSharpClientBuilder`, `InteractionHandler`, `CommandsExtension`, `IDiscordRestClient`, `IEntityCache`, `IGatewayClient`.
+  - Examples compile, use realistic patterns, and include error handling.
+
+### Changes
+
+- **Exception hierarchy consolidated** (`PawSharp.Core` / `PawSharp.API`)
+  - `PawSharp.Core.Exceptions.DiscordApiException` now inherits from `PawSharp.API.Exceptions.DiscordApiException` instead of being a separate class — eliminates catch ambiguity. [Breaking if you caught the Core version by full type name]
+  - `PawSharp.Cache.Exceptions.CacheException` now inherits from `DiscordException` instead of `Exception` — all library exceptions are now in the same hierarchy.
+
+- **Error handling hardened** (all modules)
+  - Gateway `UpdatePresenceAsync`, `RequestGuildMembersAsync`, `RequestSoundboardSoundsAsync` now re-throw exceptions after logging (previously silent).
+  - `GatewaySendAsync` rate-limit release uses `CancellationToken.None` to prevent semaphore leak on cancellation.
+  - `EventDispatchQueue.Dispose()` stores disposal task and exposes `WaitForDrainAsync()`.
+  - `WebSocketConnection.Dispose()` stores disposal task and exposes `WaitForDisposeAsync()`.
+  - 15 empty `catch {}` blocks replaced with `catch (Exception)` across CacheSwapper, ChannelExtensions, WebhookVerifier, InteractionExtensions.
+  - `CacheManager.HandleGuildMemberUpdate` null-guards `e.User`.
+  - `InteractivityValidation` now uses `ValidationException` from Core instead of `ArgumentException`.
+
+- **Log sanitization and security** (`PawSharp.API` / `PawSharp.Interactions`)
+  - `PawSharpClientBuilder` now enforces TLS 1.2+ on the HttpClient via `SslOptions`.
+  - `WebhookVerifier` XML docs updated with clear warning about non-constant-time BigInteger implementation.
+  - Token security warning added to `PawSharpOptions.Token` XML docs.
+  - `ConnectAsync()` XML docs recommend setting up global exception handlers.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Created `docs/MIGRATION.md` — migration guide covering all breaking changes from 0.x through 1.1.0-alpha versions.
+- Rewrote README.md — comprehensive, human-written, with clear getting-started paths, package reference, and real code examples.
+- Updated all .NET version references from 8.0 to 10.0 across 4 documentation files.
+- Re-reconciled `docs/VOICE_GUIDE.md` and `src/PawSharp.Voice/README.md` — Voice README now accurately describes built-in MLS DAVE E2EE implementation.
+- Fixed `src/PawSharp.Gateway/README.md` — event examples now use correct `On<T>("EVENT_NAME", handler)` API.
+- Fixed formatting issues in `docs/PATTERNS_GUIDE.md` and `docs/GATEWAY_GUIDE.md`.
+- Updated `docs/DEVELOPERS_GUIDE.md`, `docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md`, `docs/VOICE_GUIDE.md` version and framework references.
+- Updated `docs/INDEX.md` to reflect new features and fix version numbers.
+
+### Example Bots
+
+- **ModerationBot** — all 22 `_client.API.*` calls changed to `_client.Rest.*` (property didn't exist).
+- **MusicBot** — `AddPawSharpCommands()` → `AddCommands()`, `CommandModule` → `BaseCommandModule`, `MusicService` now DI-injected (no duplicate creation), removed non-existent attributes.
+- **DashboardBot** — rewritten to use `InteractionHandler` instead of non-existent `InteractionService`.
+- All example bots updated to use `IDiscordClient` instead of `DiscordClient`.
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Voice — DAVE E2EE fixes** (`PawSharp.Voice`)
+  - Fixed DM/GroupDM voice calls crashing on connect: `VoiceClient.ConnectAsync` now accepts DM/GroupDM channel types with `guildId = 0`, and `OnVoiceServerUpdate` matches DM connections by channel type when the gateway sends `guild_id = 0`.
+  - Fixed inbound DAVE frames being silently dropped: `UdpReceiveLoopAsync` now checks `_dave?.IsActive` before attempting transport decryption on received audio packets.
+  - Fixed keep-alive (NAT timeout) never running: `KeepAliveLoopAsync` is now started during `ConnectInternalAsync` instead of being left as dead code.
+  - Fixed forward secrecy gap: external sender packages (op 31) are now stored in `MLSGroupState` and bound as the HKDF salt during commit epoch advances, so future commits benefit from the sender's entropy.
+
+- **Example bot compilation** — fixed `client.API` → `client.Rest` in ModerationBot, fixed `AddPawSharpCommands` → `AddCommands` in MusicBot, removed references to non-existent `InteractionService`, `CommandModule`, `[CommandModule]`, and `Color` enum in example projects.
+
+### Internal / Tooling
+
+- Exposed `DAVEProtocol.MlsState` as internal for test access and added `InternalsVisibleTo` for `PawSharp.Voice.Tests`.
+- Created `DAVETestData` helper that generates structurally valid MLS Welcome/Commit messages using real HPKE, HKDF, and AES-GCM primitives.
+- Unskipped all 16 previously-skipped DAVE tests — they now run against real cryptographically-generated test data.

-PawSharp is a Discord library for C# developers who want clean building blocks instead of one giant monolith.
+PawSharp is a Discord API wrapper for C#. Instead of one big library you have to accept on its own terms, it's split into independent packages — grab the full client if you're building a bot, or pick just the pieces you need.
 
-If you want a high-level client, use `PawSharp.Client`.
-If you only need specific pieces (REST, Gateway, Interactions, Voice), install just those packages.
+Current release: `1.1.0-alpha.3`. Things are moving fast, but the API is stabilizing. See the [versioning policy][versioning] for what to expect, and [MIGRATION.md][migration] if you're upgrading from an earlier alpha.
 
-Current release status: `1.1.0-alpha.1`.
+## Where to start
 
-This is a public alpha. The library is already usable, but some APIs can still evolve. See [versioning policy][versioning].
+**You want a bot up and running in five minutes.** Start with the quickstart below using `PawSharpClientBuilder`, then read the [DEVELOPERS_GUIDE.md][dev-guide] when you're ready to go deeper.
 
-## What You Get
+**You want to understand how the pieces fit together.** Read the [INDEX.md][docs-index] — it maps out every module, every guide, and links to code examples.
 
-- REST coverage for about 140+ Discord endpoints
-- Gateway connection lifecycle, heartbeat, reconnect, and session resume
-- Prefix commands with preconditions and cooldowns
-- Slash commands, components, and modals
-- Interactivity helpers for reactions/buttons/select menus
-- In-memory caching and route-aware rate limiting
-- Voice support with Opus, RTP, and Discord DAVE E2EE
+**You're migrating from a previous alpha.** Check [MIGRATION.md][migration] for breaking changes.
 
-## Installation
+**You ran into a problem.** The [TROUBLESHOOTING.md][troubleshooting] guide covers the most common issues.
 
-Most bots should start with the full client package:
+---
+
+## Quickstart
+
+### 1. Install the packages
 
 ```bash
-dotnet add package PawSharp.Client --version 1.1.0-alpha.2
-dotnet add package PawSharp.Commands --version 1.1.0-alpha.2
-dotnet add package PawSharp.Interactions --version 1.1.0-alpha.2

-## Package Guide
+That's it. The builder wires up the REST client, gateway, cache, and logging with sensible defaults.
 
-- `PawSharp.Client`: recommended entry point (`DiscordClient` and fluent builder)
-- `PawSharp.Core`: entities, enums, exceptions, validation, utility builders
-- `PawSharp.API`: raw REST layer with advanced rate-limit handling
-- `PawSharp.Gateway`: gateway connection and event dispatcher
-- `PawSharp.Commands`: attribute-based prefix command framework
-- `PawSharp.Interactions`: slash commands and interaction routing
-- `PawSharp.Interactivity`: wait helpers for reactions/components and polls
-- `PawSharp.Voice`: voice transport, Opus codec integration, DAVE E2EE support
+### 3. Run it
 
-## Dependency Injection Setup
+```bash
+export DISCORD_TOKEN="your-bot-token-here"
+dotnet run
+```
 
-For `Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection`, use the one-call setup entrypoint:
+---
 
-```csharp
-using PawSharp.Client.Extensions;
-using PawSharp.Core.Enums;
-using PawSharp.Core.Models;
+## Packages
 
-services.SetupPawSharp(new PawSharpOptions
-{
-    Token = token,
-    Intents = GatewayIntents.AllNonPrivileged | GatewayIntents.MessageContent
-});
+PawSharp is modular by design. Install only what you need.
 
-services.AddPawSharpCommands();
-services.AddPawSharpInteractions();
-```
+| Package | Purpose | Depends on |

+| `PawSharp.Core` | Shared entities (`Guild`, `Channel`, `Message`, `User`, `Role`), enums, builders (`EmbedBuilder`, `ComponentBuilder`), validation, serialization | — |
+| `PawSharp.API` | Raw REST client with 140+ Discord endpoints, automatic rate limiting, telemetry | Core |
+| `PawSharp.Gateway` | WebSocket connection, heartbeat, resume, reconnection, sharding, 40+ typed events | Core, API, Cache |
+| `PawSharp.Commands` | Prefix commands via `[Command]` attributes, preconditions (`[RequireOwner]`, `[RequirePermissions]`, `[Cooldown]`), type conversion, middleware pipeline | Core, API, Client |
+| `PawSharp.Interactions` | Slash commands, message components (buttons, select menus), modals, autocomplete, context menus, webhook verification | Core, API, Gateway |
+| `PawSharp.Interactivity` | Pagination (reactions + buttons), wait-for-input helpers, polls, confirmation dialogs | Core, Client |
+| `PawSharp.Voice` | Voice gateway, UDP audio transport, Opus encode/decode, DAVE end-to-end encryption (MLS / RFC 9420) | Core, API, Gateway, Client |
+| `PawSharp.Cache` | In-memory and Redis caching with per-entity TTL, LRU eviction, health checks, telemetry, dynamic provider swapping | Core |
+
+---
+
+## What you can do
+
+**REST API** — 140+ endpoints covered. Messages, channels, guilds, members, roles, webhooks, threads, reactions, slash commands, audit logs, auto-moderation, scheduled events, stage instances, stickers, soundboard, polls, entitlements, onboarding — all with typed request/response models. Rate limiting is handled automatically with configurable retry logic and telemetry events.
+
+**Gateway** — WebSocket connection lifecycle with automatic resume, heartbeat monitoring, and exponential-backoff reconnection. Over 40 typed events (`OnMessageCreated`, `OnGuildMemberJoined`, etc.) with an event-interest filtering system that tells you which intents you're missing. Sharding is built in, including auto-rebalancing for large bots.
 
-## Alpha.2 Highlights
+**Commands** — Attribute-based prefix commands with a full middleware pipeline, type conversion (14 built-in converters plus custom), preconditions for permissions, ownership, roles, cooldowns, guild/DM/NSFW scoping. Modules can be registered manually or auto-discovered with assembly scanning.
 
-- `SetupPawSharp(options)` for simpler DI setup
-- Connect-time intent validation modes (`Off`, `Warn`, `Strict`)
-- Message forwarding support using Discord message reference forwarding
-- Structured rate-limit telemetry from the REST client (`RateLimitObserved`)
-- `EmbedTemplates` helpers for common success/error/info/warning responses
+**Interactions** — Slash command registration, button and select menu handling, modals, autocomplete, user/message context menus. The `InteractionHandler` routes incoming interactions to the right handler with built-in error recovery that tells the user something went wrong instead of silently timing out.
 
-## Still In Progress
+**Interactivity** — High-level helpers that remove the boilerplate from common patterns: paginated messages (reactions or buttons), confirmation dialogs, input prompts, poll creation and voting. All with configurable timeouts.
 
-- Slash command attribute auto-registration scanner (manual registration works today)
-- Dedicated Redis cache package publication (provider implementation exists)
+**Voice** — Full Discord Voice Protocol v8 with UDP audio transport, Opus encoding/decoding (via Concentus, pure .NET — no native DLLs), and DAVE end-to-end encryption using MLS (RFC 9420) with X25519 key exchange, Ed25519 signatures, and AES-128-GCM frame encryption. Multiple simultaneous voice connections supported.
 
-## Documentation And Examples
+**Caching** — Pluggable cache layer with in-memory (`MemoryCacheProvider`) and Redis (`RedisCacheProvider`) implementations. Per-entity TTL, LRU eviction, health checks, cache telemetry (hits, misses, operation durations), and dynamic provider swapping with circuit breaker fallback.

+# Migration Guide
+
+This guide covers breaking changes between major versions of PawSharp and how to update your code.
+
+For detailed per-version changes, see [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md).
+
+---
+
+## Table of Contents
+
+1. [Migrating from 0.x to 1.0.0-alpha](#migrating-from-0x-to-100-alpha)
+2. [Migrating from 1.0.0-alpha.x to 1.1.0-alpha.y](#migrating-from-100-alphax-to-110-alphay)
+3. [General Migration Notes](#general-migration-notes)
+
+---
+
+## Migrating from 0.x to 1.0.0-alpha
+
+### Target Framework Change (.NET 8 → .NET 10)
+
+The target framework was changed from `net8.0` to `net10.0` across all packages. You must update your project to target `net10.0`:
+
+**Before:**
+```xml
+<TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
+```
+
+**After:**
+```xml
+<TargetFramework>net10.0</TargetFramework>
+```
+
+### InteractionResolvedData Keys Changed from `string` to `ulong`
+
+Discord sends resolved-data maps with snowflake string keys. The library previously used `Dictionary<string, T>` but now uses `Dictionary<ulong, T>`, so lookups use the numeric ID directly.
+
+**Before:**
+```csharp
+var userId = resolvedData.Users["123456789"];
+```
+
+**After:**
+```csharp
+var userId = resolvedData.Users[123456789ul];
+```
+
+Affected types:
+- `InteractionResolvedData.Users`
+- `InteractionResolvedData.Members`
+- `InteractionResolvedData.Roles`
+- `InteractionResolvedData.Channels`
+- `InteractionResolvedData.Messages`
+- `InteractionResolvedData.Attachments`
+- `ResolvedData.*` (in `PawSharp.Core.Entities`)
+
+### `DeleteInviteAsync` Return Type Changed
+
+**Before:** `Task<bool>`
+**After:** `Task<Invite?>`
+
+The method now returns the deleted invite object (or `null` on failure) instead of a boolean.
+
+### `GetActiveThreadsAsync` Return Type Changed
+
+**Before:** `Task<List<Channel>?>`
+**After:** `Task<ActiveThreadsResponse?>`
+
+The new return type exposes both `threads` and `members` arrays from the Discord response.
+
+### REST Methods Now Throw Exceptions Instead of Returning Null
+
+All REST methods now throw typed exceptions on failure instead of returning `null`.
+
+**Before:**
+```csharp
+var message = await client.Rest.CreateMessageAsync(channelId, request);
+if (message == null) { /* what went wrong? */ }
+```
+
+**After:**
+```csharp
+try
+{
+    var message = await client.Rest.CreateMessageAsync(channelId, request);
+}
+catch (ValidationException ex) { /* input too long, etc. */ }
+catch (RateLimitException ex) { /* rate limited */ }
+catch (DiscordApiException ex) { /* API error */ }
+```
+
+### Archived Threads Return Type Changed
+
+`GetPublicArchivedThreadsAsync`, `GetPrivateArchivedThreadsAsync`, and `GetJoinedPrivateArchivedThreadsAsync` now return `ArchivedThreadsResponse?` instead of `List<Channel>?`.
+
+### Archived Threads Query Format
+
+The `before` query-string parameter format changed from Unix epoch seconds to ISO-8601.
+
+### HeartbeatManager Constructor
+
+The constructor now requires an `ILogger` parameter (can be `null`).

+
+## General Migration Notes
+
+### Namespace Changes
+
+- Component model classes (`MessageComponent`, `ActionRow`, `Button`, `SelectMenu`, `SelectOption`, `TextInput`) moved from `PawSharp.API.Models` to `PawSharp.Core.Entities`. The `PawSharp.Core.Entities` namespace is re-exported from `PawSharp.API`, so existing code may only need a `using` update.
+
+### Type Changes
+
+- `Message.Components` changed from `List<object>?` to `List<MessageComponent>?`
+- `Message.Flags` changed from `int?` to `MessageFlags?`
+- `ModalBuilder.AddTextInput` — `style` parameter changed from `int` to `TextInputStyle`
+- `TextInput.Style` changed from `int` to `TextInputStyle`
+- `CreateAutoModerationRuleRequest.EventType` / `TriggerType` changed from `int` to `AutoModerationEventType` / `AutoModerationTriggerType`
+- `CreateStageInstanceRequest.PrivacyLevel` changed from `int?` to `StageInstancePrivacyLevel?`
+- `ArchivedThreadsResponse.Threads` changed from `List<Channel>` to `List<Thread>`
+
+### Event API Changes
+
+- `EventDispatcher.DispatchFromJson()` → `DispatchFromJsonAsync()`
+- `EventDispatcher.On()` now returns `IDisposable` for easy unsubscription
+- `EventDispatcher.Use()` for middleware (no `next()` delegate — all handlers always execute after middleware completes)
+
+### Package Upgrades
+
+All `Microsoft.Extensions.*` packages are updated to `10.0.0` to match the .NET 10 target framework.

 ## DAVE E2EE Support
 
-DAVE (Discord Audio & Video End-to-End Encryption) is a **separate optional protocol layer** that sits on top of the voice gateway v8. It requires:
-
-- libdave library for MLS (Messaging Layer Security) implementation
-- Support for DAVE opcodes 21-31
-- Additional key exchange and encryption logic
-
-The base PawSharp.Voice implementation focuses on the v8 protocol with transport encryption. DAVE E2EE support can be added as a separate optional layer using libdave.
+PawSharp.Voice includes a full MLS (RFC 9420) implementation for DAVE E2EE. The crypto stack uses X25519, Ed25519, AES-128-GCM, and HKDF-SHA256 — all implemented in pure .NET. No external native libraries required.
