Linux build should release today or tomorrow, if no accidents will happen. Currently all required dependencies has been built, but TDesktop bulid could be long by itself, so no promises for today.

Unfortunately, Linux build has to wait some more. VirtualBox with Ubuntu doesn't want to build TDesktop, so I need to search for other solution. Linux build is still planned though.

Also, I've connected Travis CI and Appveyor to repo. This could help me if I'll want to test if app builds app or not.

It's close. There is already a debug build, but it weights 1.8 GB, so it's better to wait for release one.

For now I'm not planning 32-bit builds, but they could be built in future if needed.

Since there are no requests, I'll build only Windows and 64-bit Linux for now.

I'm planning to make autoupdates in next build, so it will be faster for you to update. Stay tuned.

It's close.

Autoupdater ready!
1.0 (based on TD 1.8.9)

Changes:

Automatic updates. Now you don't have to redownload every build and replace executable.

Some fixes for photo and sticker sizes. Now they are resized only in chat.

New update is out!
1.0.1 (TD 1.8.9)

Changes:

Restore pinned message that you've hidden previously by clicking "three dots" > "Pinned message" in chat.

Show chat ID in its profile.

Copy bot button callback data by right clicking on it.

Resizing photo message bubble if there are additional texts (caption, author name, etc.).

Fixed wrong emoji sticker scaling.

Although my primary focus is fork, I haven't forgot about official client. If I consider some feature from Kotatogram theoretically fitting into official client and it works well, I'll make a pull request to official client with that feature.

This time it's resizing message with photo if there are additional text.
github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/pull/6612

New update is out!
1.0.2 (TD 1.8.9-0c30bbf)

Changes:

"Hide pinned message" option in chat three-dot menu.

Always show "Scheduled Messages" button in message field.

Show linked discussion group or channel in profile.

Fixed tray icon colors on Linux. Linux users that have used client before 1.0.2 should delete generated icons in [app profile folder]/tdata/ticons after update.


About TDesktop version:

You've noticed that it's not 1.8.10, but 1.8.9-0c30bbf. That's because there was no version commit and release on GitHub. There could be more commits, and because of that just changing version would be inaccurate. So I decided to add commit postfix instead.

New update is out!
1.0.3 (TD 1.8.11)

Changes:

• Always show edit timer if applicable.
• Disabled outline for big emoji.
• Show restricted date to user.

Bugfixes:

• Custom fonts are now saved between restarts.
• Moved "About" box link in drawer to app name to increase space for version.
• Scheduled messages icon now updates correctly.
