Telegram Bot API 6.6 brings several potentially breaking changes - for example, renaming of thumb to thumbnail. So, I am thinking about new major version but it will mean that I will drop all old deprecations

So, 7.0.0 in progress

Version with all Telegram Bot API 6.6 support is available from my packages registry ( https://git.inmo.dev/api/packages/InsanusMokrassar/maven ). I hope to test everything with my examples and add stickers example this evening, but you may try new API already now

So, 7.0.0 is in release. What is changed:

• Support of Telegram Bot API 6.6
• Stickers have been reworked due to their rework in Telegram Bot API
• Files uploading mechanisms have been modified
• In examples I have added new example for sticker sets and extend Files Loading sample (now it will upload files too)

Some time ago I have started new PR with native targets (LinuxX64/MinGWX64) support, but I have faced with the issues in native part. For example, in case you will send some request to the telegram system, it will be sent with some strange delay. So, I have two options and want to know your opinion:

* ... and fix found issue later ...

Good night :)

So, 7.1.0 has been released. Here:

• Support of Telegram Bot API 6.7
• Edits upfill for inline messages
• Improvements in onDeepLink/waitDeepLink

In two words about changes in examples:

• New module InlineQueriesBot with native and jvm launchers
• In KeyboardsBot has been added the button for sharing of the post with buttons via inline queries
• WebApps now can be triggered via inline queries

Several news:

• Sources on github has been updated: now it is available by address https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/ktgbotapi
• I have changed main Github Topic. You may use the old one, but, imho, it is large and less usefull
• Version 7.1.2 has been released. All dependant libraries like PlaguBot have been updated too. In new versions I have fixed several things and updated dependencies
• Dear @m_a_d_h_e_a_d have helped us to create the topic on stackoverflow, so, you may also create your questions there:)

All library chats are here

Hello :) I have written a small article in russian about hosting of bots by request of one of our participant :)

Today I have found that starting with korlibs 4.0.0 mr. Soywiz changed libraries group package from com.soywiz.* to korlibs.*. For example, package com.soywiz.klock has been transformed to korlibs.time. So, sooner or later we will need to make this migration (in most cases it is simple replacing of imports with com.soywiz.klock to korlibs.time), but I wished to ask you, how will this painful for you and your projects?
