That was a really long pause — sorry for that. And finally a stable version 1.2 is out!

If you use a large Telegram Desktop window it will be showing more content for you now, thanks to the new three column layout.

In the new version 1.1.17 of Telegram Desktop you can use an autocompletion feature for emoji!

In the latest 1.1.11 alpha version of Telegram Desktop you can write bold text (just surround it with **) and italic text (just surround it with __).

If you're already using alpha version just update to 1.1.11 in Settings.

If you don't you can try it from here:

Today calls are added to the alpha version of Telegram Desktop!

The alpha version gets all the features first, but is less tested than the stable version. You can try this 1.0.36 alpha version from https://desktop.telegram.org/changelog#alpha-version

— Change your phone number.
— Edit who can see your last seen time and who can add you to groups.
— Edit your list of blocked users.
— Edit account self-destruction settings.

+ you get a nice message search feature: click on the date in any chat and jump quickly to messages from a specific day.

You can update it in Settings or download the new version from site: https://desktop.telegram.org

After you install the new version you can check out some custom themes from the community in the @themes channel!

Also it contains a whole bunch of notifications improvements for Windows and Linux users:

— You can reply to the incoming messages right from the notification toast.
— You can change the toast location on your screen and the maximum count of toasts shown at the same time.

Here is the way a toast with a reply and the new settings box look like:

The new version 0.10.16 brings you a nice audio player redesign. The new player can be minimized to a single play / pause button in the window title:

Finally in the new 0.10 version of Telegram Desktop there is an internal video player. So you don't need to open external applications now if you receive a video from your friend. And the round bubbles came to the stable version :)

Some very round bubbles are waiting for you in the new 0.9.57 alpha version of Telegram Desktop ;)

You'll see your drafts in the chats list and won't forget to finish the message you've started.

The 0.9.50 version brings you drafts synced across all your Telegram devices, a beautiful new profile pages design and a floating date mark, so you won't get lost even in a huge group chat histories.

Also the new cute 'scroll to the bottom' button displays the unread messages count when you get them while browsing some old part of messages history.

Starting with 0.9.46 our Telegram Desktop version for early testing is renamed to «alpha» instead of the old puzzling «dev» 🤔

Also this new version is the first one built upon Qt library version 5.6, so I hope it has some bugfixes for you.

New version 0.9.32 is available! Supergroups became really super this time 😃

— Now they can have up to 5,000 members
— Creator of the supergroup can set up a public link so anyone knowing that link can join
— Any admin of the supergroup can pin a message so it will be the first thing a person sees when he joins
— Efficient spam fighting in supergroups: when deleting a message admin also can delete all messages from the specific user, ban this user from group and report spam

With those features introduced any group is now allowed to be converted to a supergroup, not only the huge ones.
