v0.4.0

Features

• Added remove command to remove a subject from a channel
• Moved the addsubject command to a simpler add command

Bug fixes

• List command tell the user how to add a subject if the current guild has no bound subjects

Bugfix: Do not repeatedly send hackernews discussions posts

Skip articles without a direct link

Sometimes, an article on Hackernews can be a discussion or a hiring
post. In that case, the article's link is empty, which means that we
can't index it properly to avoid sending it repeatedly.

This fix simply skips any post that does not contains a link to an
outside source. We simply ignore hiring, discussion, etc. As those are
not really "Tech News" worthy anyway.

v0.3.1: DB Refactor

Database refactor, you will need to start fresh

I was not very happy with how the guilds were saved in the DB. It meant that if there was 2 channel in one guild that where bound, we would keep trap of 2 copy of the guild.

Now, channel and it's subjects are bound to an array of combinations that are held in one guild within the database. This allows to have different subjects in different channels.

Also, the in-memory article store was changed to use the DB in order to limit memory usage as the bot runs for months at a time.
