Hello, I am preparing new version of library and you may include your proposals about new features/fixes:) Welcome to our chat ▼

Small news on the fields of updates: Now you may use Github Packages in case you don't want to build project by yourself, but it is required to use some temporal version of project in your environment 🎉 Besides, new version is still in progress and you are welcome with your contributions 😊

New version of Telegram Bot API is here and I am already working on the update related to these news. Besides, I wished to notify you that you must update your TelegramBotAPI Servers (if you host any), because of otherwise you will not be able to get new types of updates by your bots via your servers

Several news about new version: update is in progress, but also it is close to release. Was solved to migrate onto 0.33.0 (major release) due to possible breaking of backward compatibility. Currently already covered all new functionality of Telegram Bot API and almost completed fixes related to this functionality in modules like Behaviour Builder

ChatMemberUpdated (tglink) is an object, included in Telegram Bot API for looking at changes of users state in chats (but according to my investigations, not for private chats with bot) like changing admin state and others.

New version has been released. So, what is here in two words:

* Support of Telegram Bot API 5.1
* Several fixes around Behaviour Builder
* Small update of dependencies

Besides, I wished to notice that all old methods, marked with Deprecated in previous versions were removed. Take care about it:)

Hello again 😊 Currently I am thinking about filling of media cacher library (as analog of admins cache), because of there are a lot of cases when you are required to work with files (like photos or something else), but do not want to care about caching handling. Currently I see something like:

cacher.withCached(cachedFileId) {
    bot.sendPhoto(chat, it)
}

Here I assume that it is InputFile and in case if value (media bytes) has been cached or at least FileId was saved we will get FileId and in case if request will throw error - pass MultipartFile as it to this callback and save returned FileId

Here there is one problem - how to save it for a first time? I see the following opportunity:

val someMessage: ContentMessage<MediaContent> = ... // some request with returned content message
cacher.cache(someMessage)

What do you think about it? Write your suggestions/opinions in comments :)

A little note: official libraries around Telegram Bot API are placed here

Hello:) several days ago has been released version 0.33.4. Here serialization of known TextSources, extensions for casting of messages to FromUserMessage and several other changes. Is there anything you seen in other libraries and wished to include in this? Or, maybe, something works improperly in your opinion? Write in comments, I will be glad to hear you😊

New version is almost here and I wished to notice you that in this version interfaces like Captioned will be deprecated and since 0.34.0 will be recommended to refactor your code to use text/textEntities properties and Texted-like interfaces

With new version of tgbotapi will be changed primary method of work with texts in objects with text (😊). Previously, textSource field was calculable property based on captionEntities/textEntities. This version will reverse logic. In new version textSource will be permanent field of Texted/Captioned instances and textEntities/captionEntities are calculable. It is possible, that work with TextPart will be totaly decreased in this version and fully removed in future. Stay tuned, new version will be soon😊

There are several questions we need to answer together:

Version 0.34.0 has been released 🎉 Lets highlight changes:

* Update up to Telegram Bot API 5.2
* Texted now is main interface for all types related to textes. Captioned and Explained interfaces are deprecated

Hello, I am preparing 0.34.1 hotfix update and wished to ask you about issues you faces or some suggestions. This update will be merged and released today:) so, hurry up 😏
