node-red-contrib-telegrambot 18.0.0-beta.4

V18.0.0-beta.4

on Node.js NPM

V18.0.0-beta.4 🧪

Fourth public beta of the V18 line. Published under the beta dist-tag; users on latest stay on V17 and are unaffected.

npm install node-red-contrib-telegrambot@beta

Changes since beta.3

• Bump node-telegram-bot-api floor to ^1.1.2 (#467). 1.1.2's only change is restored CommonJS consumption (dual ESM+CJS build). No breaking changes.
• Dropped the dynamic-import loader (#467). Now that require() works again, bot-node.js loads the library synchronously (require('node-telegram-bot-api').default) and builds the TelegramBotEx subclass at module load, instead of the async import() bridge introduced for the v1.0.0 ESM-only build. This removes ~140 lines and permanently eliminates the first-load test race the dynamic import caused. No user-facing change — flows behave exactly as before.

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 20.

Help us test

Still especially useful: SOCKS proxy and multi-bot setups (per-bot dispatcher landed in beta.3), plus redeploys. Report against #457 or a new issue.

See MIGRATION.md. Tracking: PR #453, #448.
