Apologies for the delay in announcing the JavaScript Contest results. Some of the judges have been busy due to a major product update at Telegram. The good news is the update is now released, so we expect to give you the final JS results within the next few days.

If you have encountered or will encounter #0: lost promise toast (the small pop-up text on the bottom of the screen), please submit to the testing group:

1. Which action caused it and which options were used (best would be with step-by-step screenshots which actions were performed)
2. What type of chat it was (private, group, supergroup, or channel)
3. Did it happen just once or how many times?
4. Was it caused by deleting messages? If yes, how many messages you were deleting? With or without revoke?
5. Include #promise hastag so message won't be missed.

0.21.8.1159 beta

Reworked text & emoji rendering, and how their bounds get calculated.

- Reworked text rendering. For default text size nothing should have changed visually. For others:
1. Proper bubble height calculation
2. Proper touch detection
3. Proper link press highlighting
4. More comfortable line spacing while using larger text size
5. Any system font should work properly inside message texts & media captions

- Reworked emoji rendering:
1. Emojis are now slightly bigger
2. Better positioning, especially in chats list and message input
3. While using larger text sizes, emojis will now position properly
4. Faster emoji rendering
5. Smoothier scrolling in the emoji keyboard
6. Added little spacing between twitter emojis

- Changed the way text & emoji bounds get calculated
- Text size now affects link previews as well
- Updated ExoPlayer to 2.10.0
- Optimized options menu animation

Bugfixes

- Fixed rare crash when switching between emoji sets
- Fixed rare crash while processing messages
- Fixed incorrect bubble sizes when changing text size in settings
- Fixed transparent line glitches between items when opening options menu (e.g. when tapping on a message)

In case something looks broken after updating to this version, send screenshot as a document with all other essential information in the caption. (it's expected that something could have broken on customizable Android builds)

FYI new text rendering affects only messages, shared media, inline results and few other places.

0.21.8.1160 beta

- Added assertion (useful crash) for lost promise issue.

0.21.8.1161 beta

- Changed medium font used while "Use system fonts" enabled
- Fixed: Can't send one-character messages if preceded by the space
- Fixed: In-app text file viewer has broken
- Fixed: Improperly positioned bullets/numbers in IV lists
- Better paddings for options menu hint
- Improved internal error reporting for TDLib issues
