Hello there :) Two humble news:

• I have prepared a small help for files sending (you may offer what to mention there if I forget)
• PlaguBot and its templates (for bot and for plugin) have been fully rewritten without kapt. Now it uses simple flow for launch and structuring. I plan to prepare some small tutorial about it soon!

UPD: I have published 2.0.3 and filled section of files downloading in the tutorial

Всем привет :) я опубликовал первую (как я надеюсь) статью-туториал по использованию PlaguBot, написанию плагинов для него, разделению логики ботов и прочему такому :) буду рад предложениям и замечаниям. На данный момент я планирую перевод на английский язык для публикации на своём bookstack, так что буду рад помощи с переводом

Hello everybody :) I have published the first part of the tutorial about working with PlaguBot, writing plugins for it, separation of bots logic and so on at habr.com in Russian :) English version of this tutorial is being worked on, and I hope it will be published on the tgbotapi bookstack soon too :)

Hi :) 2.1.0 in progress with Bot API 6.1. You may suggest some improvements/fixes/changes for the library and I will try hard to include them into currently developed version :)

I have published 2.1.0 and in this version I have added support of Bot API 6.1

The reason I am thinking about it is that I plan to verify this channel and linked group, but that action requires to freeze link to the channel. This action is permanent and important, so I want to choose the best nickname for this lib :)

Hello everybody :) I'm glad to introduce update 2.1.1 with short send/edit methods and extended variants of deletes and old edits :) In the examples you may find migration PR as an example of dependency update

Several small news:

• New version 2.1.2 has been published. It is dependencies-updating minor release
• I have updated kdocs for microutils. It is important because of a lot of things (like fsm) we are using from there

• New version 2.2.0 with fixes and improvements has been published
• Also new version of plagubot has been published too :)
• I am working on welcome tutorial plugin and currently the article is not ready, but you may try this plugin in its branch!

Hello everybody :) I am preparing tgbotapi 3.0.0 with kotlin 1.7.10. You may suggest some additions/changes/features in comments to discuss including those in this release.

UPD: 3.0.0 Milestone

I have tested this update and getting ready for release. Anyway, it is still good time for you to suggest new things in project 😏

So, 3.0.2 has been published. I have set the main point in this release is to update kotlin and related dependencies up to 1.7.10 and I didn't expect that in this version will be:

• Several important renames (for example, ReplyMarkup -> WithReplyMarkup)
• New API for live location streaming via coroutines flows
• Changes in structure of ForwardInfo

Besides, in that update I have started to use KSP for generating of new classcasts. In case I missed some of the extensions you may write to me or in the chat and I will try hard to include them in next release.

Versions 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 have been published with errors and contain the same changes, but require redundant magic in dependencies

Version 3.1.0 is out and you may start to work with new stickers. Unfortunatelly, there are several issues related to this functionality:

• Bots currently can't create custom emoji's sticker sets
• Bots currently can't send custom emojis. Technically, you may include custom emojis in your text, but they will appear as regular text and no information about emoji will exists in message

Besides, I have fully reworked hierarchy of stickers and sticker sets. I hope that it will not break anything in your code, but I strongly recommend you to recompile your projects if you want to update this library dependency
