Changelog

1.4.7

You should still switch to tdlib-purple.

The only change is literally a single character: A typo in the German translation that bugged me to no end. Happy easter, btw!

1.4.6

IMPORTANT: This repository barely sees any updates anymore. You should switch to tdlib-purple, which will hopefully become telegram-purple's successor. Note that only the following features are missing:

• Retrieve history on first login (not everyone needs this)
• Add options to ignore certain groups (why use a messenger if you don't want to ever see those messeges?!)
• Turn off sending read receipts: https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple/issues/22 So it's a good replacement in many cases already. For more details, see https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple/milestone/1

The actual changes in this version are only minor stuff:

• Fixed minor details required to build telegram-adium (developmentRegion and no arm64)
• Updated dependencies for newer MinGW versions
• Updated dependencies for telegram-adium
• Updated documentation and links

1.4.5

IMPORTANT: This repository barely sees any updates anymore. You should switch to tdlib-purple, which will hopefully become telegram-purple's successor. Note that only the following features are missing:

• Retrieve history on first login (not everyone needs this)
• Add options to ignore certain groups (why use a messenger if you don't want to ever see those messeges?!)
• Turn off sending read receipts: https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple/issues/22 So it's a good replacement in many cases already. For more details, see https://github.com/ars3niy/tdlib-purple/milestone/1

The actual changes in this version are only minor stuff:

• New feature: Enable setting the download URI base; this seems to be interesting for bitlbee users.
• Improvement: Update and improve searching for zlib (ax_check_zlib.m4)
• Fix: sed invocation on macOS
• Fix: Cross-reference to telepathy-morse.
• Improvement: Automatically build on ppc64le Caveat emptor! We only build there. I don't have access to any such hardware, telegram-purple has no real tests, and I know nothing about ppc64le. Bugfixes and improvements are welcome.

1.4.4

IMPORTANT: This repository barely sees any updates anymore. You may want to switch to tdlib-purple, which will hopefully become telegram-purple's successor. Note that some features like secret chats are missing, so it's not a good replacement yet.

• Always display the system account 'Telegram' as online.
• Adium: Lots of work, thanks to Kent Sutherland!
• Fix some typos and build issues
• AppStream: use new destination directory (which means we're not compatible with old AppStream versions!)
