Today's update of Telegram Desktop is all about emoji and stickers:

— all the existing emoji are now supported, you can see them in the emoji panel (almost 500 were added)

— on the stickers panel you have a settings button now (in the lower right corner) where you can reorder and manage your sticker packs — the order will be automatically synced between all your Telegram devices (after updating the apps there to the latest versions as well)

— you can press-and-hold on a sticker in the stickers panel to see the preview (how this sticker will look when you send it), you can move the mouse while pressing and see the near stickers previews as well

You can update your Telegram Desktop to the latest 0.9.15 version in Settings or download it from https://desktop.telegram.org
A huge update was released today for all our apps! For Telegram Desktop first version of this update (0.9.16) had a critical bug and was updated up to 0.9.17 in the next hour.

This update includes great improvements for all the platforms in GIFs support (see https://telegram.org/blog/gif-revolution) and a new Inline bots feature (see https://telegram.org/blog/inline-bots for a detailed explanation).

Telegram Desktop besides gets fully redesigned media display, including displaying of photos / videos / files in conversations and in shared media section. I hope you will love them ❤️

And also you can now change settings for photos / voice messages / GIFs automatic download and GIFs autoplay (see «Automatic media download» link in Settings).
Today a new dev (means "in development" :) version 0.9.20 was released. It has a new crash reporting solution, each time you catch a crash in Telegram Desktop, it will first check for the updates (perhaps a fixed version is already out?) and if not, it will suggest you to send us a crash report.

Speaking of small improvements: you can choose a sticker to be sent by an emoji you've written in the message field, just like in mobile apps now :)

If you would like to be the first in helping us testing all the new features we make you can install dev version from the bottom of this page: https://desktop.telegram.org/#dev-version
Finally 0.9.28 stable version is ready with a massive channels update onboard:

— Now the channel creator can edit any post while each channel admin can edit their own posts. Also any member of a supergroup can edit their messages to this supergroup.

— The channel creator can switch on the signatures in the channel edit box and after that all posts will be followed by the authors name.

— Each channel admin can send «silent» posts which won't produce any notifications for the subscribers.

— Any post in a public channel now has a direct URL. You can get it from the context menu of the post. For example, this post has such link: https://telegram.me/desktop/26
New version 0.9.32 is available! Supergroups became really super this time 😃

— Now they can have up to 5,000 members
— Creator of the supergroup can set up a public link so anyone knowing that link can join
— Any admin of the supergroup can pin a message so it will be the first thing a person sees when he joins
— Efficient spam fighting in supergroups: when deleting a message admin also can delete all messages from the specific user, ban this user from group and report spam

With those features introduced any group is now allowed to be converted to a supergroup, not only the huge ones.

Starting with 0.9.46 our Telegram Desktop version for early testing is renamed to «alpha» instead of the old puzzling «dev» 🤔

Also this new version is the first one built upon Qt library version 5.6, so I hope it has some bugfixes for you.

You can read about the alpha version and download it here (if you were not using the old «dev» one): https://desktop.telegram.org/#alpha-version
The 0.9.50 version brings you drafts synced across all your Telegram devices, a beautiful new profile pages design and a floating date mark, so you won't get lost even in a huge group chat histories.

Also the new cute 'scroll to the bottom' button displays the unread messages count when you get them while browsing some old part of messages history.

You'll see your drafts in the chats list and won't forget to finish the message you've started.
Some very round bubbles are waiting for you in the new 0.9.57 alpha version of Telegram Desktop ;)
Finally in the new 0.10 version of Telegram Desktop there is an internal video player. So you don't need to open external applications now if you receive a video from your friend. And the round bubbles came to the stable version :)
The new version 0.10.16 brings you a nice audio player redesign. The new player can be minimized to a single play / pause button in the window title:
Also it contains a whole bunch of notifications improvements for Windows and Linux users:

— You can reply to the incoming messages right from the notification toast.
— You can change the toast location on your screen and the maximum count of toasts shown at the same time.

Here is the way a toast with a reply and the new settings box look like:
