LonamiWebs/Telethon v0.15.2

Bug fixes and new small features

on GitHub

This release primarly focuses on a few bug fixes and enhancements. Although more stuff may have broken along the way.

Bug fixes:

• .get_input_entity was failing for IDs and other cases, also making more requests than it should.
• Use basename instead abspath when sending a file. You can now also override the attributes.
• EntityDatabase.__delitem__ wasn't working.
• .send_message() was failing with channels.
• .get_dialogs(limit=None) should now return all the dialogs correctly.
• Temporary fix for abusive duplicated updates.

Enhancements:

• You will be warned if you call .add_update_handler with no update_workers.
• New customizable threshold value on the session to determine when to automatically sleep on flood waits. See client.session.flood_sleep_threshold.
• New .get_drafts() method with a custom Draft class by @JosXa.
• Join all threads when calling .disconnect(), to assert no dangling thread is left alive.
• Larger chunk when downloading files should result in faster downloads.
• You can use a callable key for the EntityDatabase, so it can be any filter you need.

Internal changes:

• MsgsAck is now sent in a container rather than its own request.
• .get_input_photo is now used in the generated code.
• .process_entities was being called from more places than only __call__.
• MtProtoSender now relies more on the generated code to read responses.
