This update brings a lot of changes, so it would be nice if you could read the whole change log!

Things that may break your code

  • Every Telegram error has now its own class, so it's easier to fine-tune your except's.
  • Markdown parsing is not part of Telethon itself anymore, although there are plans to support it again through a some external module.
  • The .list_sessions() has been moved to the Session class instead.
  • The InteractiveTelegramClient is not shipped with pip anymore.

New features

  • A new, more lightweight class has been added. The TelegramBareClient is now the base of the normal TelegramClient, and has the most basic features.
  • New method to .create_new_connection(), which can be ran in parallel with the original connection. This will return the previously mentioned TelegramBareClient already connected.
  • Any file object can now be used to download a file (for instance, a BytesIO() instead a file name).
  • Vales like random_id are now automatically inferred, so you can save yourself from the hassle of writing generate_random_long() everywhere. Same applies to .get_input_peer(), unless you really need the extra performance provided by skipping one if if called manually.
  • Every type now features a new .to_dict() method.

Bug fixes

  • Received errors are acknowledged to the server, so they don't happen over and over.
  • Downloading media on different data centers is now up to x2 faster, since there used to be an InvalidDCError for each file part tried to be downloaded.
  • Lost messages are now properly skipped.
  • New way to handle the result of requests. The old ValueError "The previously sent request must be resent. However, no request was previously sent (possibly called from a different thread)." should not happen anymore.

Minor highlights

  • Some fixes to the JsonSession.
  • Fixed possibly crashes if trying to .invoke() a Request while .reconnect() was being called on the UpdatesThread.
  • Some improvements on the TcpClient, such as not switching between blocking and non-blocking sockets.
  • The code now uses ASCII characters only.
  • Some enhancements to .find_user_or_chat() and .get_input_peer().
