And now, on to the API changes:
- First of all, we've got several bucketloads of telegram API changes, that can be viewed in the first posts.
- Very important, I wrote documentation on what to do if your account gets banned.
- Dropped support for PHP 5 and PHP 7.0: these versions of PHP have officially reached their end of life, so MadelineProto will not support them anymore.
You should use MadelineProto with PHP 7.3 (or PHP 7.2; PHP 7.1 is supported but not recommended).
- Dropped support for get_updates: it won't work properly on async, and I really recommend you stop using it
- You can now use the @support username in sendMessage and other methods to send messages to the support user!
- Now MadelineProto will automatically try to get the access hash of users not present in the internal peer database (this should reduce errors)!
- If any file cannot be downloaded to due issues with the tg media server that is hosting it, it will be automatically sent to the @support user (settings).
- Documented the MyTelegramOrgWrapper API, that can be used to login programmaticaly to the my.telegram.org management page and get the API ID of your app.
- Added an update_2fa method to update the login password
- Added a get_full_dialogs method to get a full list of all chats you’re member of, including dialog info (such as the pinned/last message ID, unread count, tag count, notification settings and message drafts).
- Added support for automatic file uploads by name in secret chats (as with normal chats); you can also now send secret chat messages using the sendMessage method as if it were a normal chat
- Added a resetUpdateState method to reset the update state and fetch ALL updates from the beginning
- Improved chat message splitting algorithm, for when the message you're trying to send is too long: performance improvements, and it will now notify you via the logs if there are too many entities in the logs, or if the entities are too long.
- Improved the get_self method.
- Added a __magic_sleep substitute for __sleep in the CombinedEventHandler
- Removed all dependencies to curl: now all HTTP requests are made asynchronously using a custom version of artax (more on that later).
- Updated php-libtgvoip and introduced a common API for changing phone call settings
- Improved the madeline.php loader
- Removed the old serialization APIs: now serialization is done automatically by MadelineProto!
- Increased the default flood wait limit to 10 minutes, since with async waiting for the flood wait isn't blocking anymore
- When running from web, MadelineProto will also automatically enable logging of PHP errors (not MadelineProto logs) to a MadelineProto.log file located in the same directory as the script that loaded MadelineProto.
