Benyamin's stuff

Aaand we are back online

Hey, there are some issues on the server provider side, I'm on it

✨ Please welcome the new version of the bot!

So… I opened the bot a week ago to check some routes, and — surprise — it was stuck. That gave me the push to roll up my sleeves and fix a few things, and even add some features.

Changelog:

🚆 Support for Gush Dan and Jerusalem railways

🗺 Color-coded markers on the map for different types of transport (check /help for details)

🔁 A refresh button to restart updates if they get stuck

🖼 Higher-resolution maps for cases with lots of stops—each marker is now clearly visible

🔢 Markers on the map are now ordered left-to-right, top-to-bottom

📝 Improved text grammar throughout the bot

🛠 Better error handling with clear messages instead of a frozen interface

⚠️ Important: Please avoid using old buttons (especially saved stops) from previous conversations—they won’t work anymore. Use the new ones instead.

Stay safe and

Is that a new feature appeared? 🤔

Update for 📆 @zmanim_bot:

From today onwards, the bot takes into account your altitude above sea level. This allows for a more precise determination of the zmanim times.
In the mountains and valleys, where the altitude above sea level significantly differs from zero, the value can vary up to 7-10 minutes.

The issue in the 📆 @zmanim_bot where users were unable to unsubscribe from Omer notifications has now been fixed.

3k users in 📆 @zmanim_bot!
I still can't believe it is for real

There were lots of issues with 🚍 over the last few days — it is happening because the ministry of transport changed the API without any announcements, and I started to receive new kinds of transport types. While I'm waiting for a response from the ministry, I have prepared a temporary fix — unknown kinds of transport will be marked as question marks (but I'm pretty sure they are buses)

There was an issue in 📆 with callback buttons after the last update, the issue has been fixed now.

Fixed a bug In Hebrew translate: "תחילת הצום" -> "צאת הצום"

📆 @zmanim_bot | #zmanim_bot

Fixed a bug when selecting "Zmanim by the date" and then switching between location variants caused the custom date to not be saved.
