Kotlin Telegram Bot API Library (tgbotapi)
Hi :) I am currently thinking about change of this library name in githab, telegram and other places. It is not final decision, but I would be glad to know your opinion about which username if library is better? (Multichoice)
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 :)
What would you prefer to use? (Multiple choice for cases when it doesn't matter)

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

I am preparing new release and wished to know your opinion about class casts feature namings (extensions like asBot/requireBot/onBot) and specially about chaning of that naming to if*/*OrNull/*OrThrow (like ifBot, botOrNull/botOrThrow)

Do you use microutils outside of tgbotapi?

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
👍4
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
Hi :) I am preparing new update and there is a chance to change behaviour of main `execute` - I plan to wrap all the exceptions happen inside to additional exception. So, the main question:

Do you use handling of some specific exceptions thrown from bot?

Just use safely/runCatchingSafely/etc.
Sometimes I am thinking about some coding-streams. On these strems we could talk about the future of this library, kotlin, bots and (I think) something else. Would you be interest in this?

Version 3.1.2 has been transformed to 3.2.0 and published 🎉 whats new:

• All allowedUpdates will be setup to ALL_UPDATES_LIST by default
• New extensions for behaviour builder waitDeepLinks/onDeepLink + improved support of deep links creation
IMPORTANT CHANGE: execute method of TelegramBot (aka RequestsExecutor) will throw only BotExceptions since this update. Please, check exceptions catching in your projects and fix them
