Final release: API53

Lots of new stuff! Last App release from this codebase!!! Look out for new App soon!

• Fixed read indicators for all types of chat, still a bit wonky
• Formatting entities for in- and outgoing messages
• Edited marker when messages have been edited
• Some speedup for loading chats & messages
• Fixed a bug that prohibited a lot of users to sign in the first time or at all - Hello Australia!
• Proper display of "Invalid code" and "Invalid password" during login

Note: Due to removal of audio and video attachment API currently those types of files are only handled as document. We are working on the issue
Note: This build is for 16.04 only!

Feature release

• Night mode is here to protect your eyes! Its in the settings menu
• Fixed that multiple forwarded messages would be in opposite sort order (#177)
• Fixed group join message logic (hopefully fixes #167)
• Fixed the message reply button being visible on channel messages (#168)

Point release (Bugfix)

• Channels do not show an empty avatar
• Channels where a user has readonly privileges show now just a mute button like official App
• Loading of messages and dialogs should be faster due to adding missing indexes in the Db
• Small overhaul of UX and design
• Colors instead of checkmarks for the message status: grey = pending to be sent, blue = sent, green = read
• Notifications in channels and for stickers are now correctly handled and show up
• Notifications are removed from the notification area if read on another device (Thanks Telegram guys, this required no code change on out side ;))
• Channel views: Pretty-print for thousands and millions of impressions ;)

Periodical release with SUPERGROUPS & CHANNELS!

SUPERGROUPS & CHANNELS!

What is not working and we know it:

• Some supergroup avatars are not showing up
• Small intermittent empty message display during sending
• Member count & list of members in supergroup empty
• You can join a supergroup or a channel only by the invite link
• Leaving a supergroup needs some time, but it works somehow ;)
• Read indicator shows still always read immediately (wontfix until API-53!)

You are welcome to report all other things you find either here in the tracker or by PM in Telegram ;)

Other changes:

• Visuals updated to use more Suru design icons instead of images
• Server synchronization: This version tries to detect when server sync is lost (usually by changing from WiFi to network or other way round, or by having Telegram sleep in the background for more than 15 minutes). There is special code inside to re-request data from the server. After waking up Telegram please be patient as it does NOT indicate that there is more data to come. After usually 5-10 seconds it should have updated, though.

Note: This build modifies the existing database. It should be possible to uninstall/reinstall the stable app without loosing data, but it is not guaranteed. In case of problems it might be necessary to manually remove the whole telegram folder from .config in homedir.

Periodical maintenance release

• Cleanup of QML code
• Improved the length of text fields to display as much content as possible (overlong group names etc.)
• Workaround for Telegram servers sending message IDs from higher APIs than we support (2 cases)
• Startup: If code authentication was interrupted, only a white screen came up. Should be fixed
• Secret chats no longer crash when receiving media. Unfortunately they also dont show them ;)
• Changed the indication of no network and no server connection from the title text override to a nice cloud symbol
• Attachment panel rework: Uses stock icons now, and Ubuntu colors. Yes we are not Android ;)
