Changes in 1.3.0:

  • Added a review of existing TDLib based frameworks in different programming languages.
  • Added a Getting started guide describing the main TDLib concepts and basic principles required for library usage.
  • When a chat is opened, only those messages that have been viewed are marked as read.
  • Improved the proxy settings API:
    • A list of proxies is stored instead of just one proxy.
    • New methods addProxy, editProxy, enableProxy, disableProxy, removeProxy and getProxies were added instead of setProxy and getProxy.
    • Added the method pingProxy which can be used to compute time needed to receive a response from a Telegram server through a proxy or directly.

    • The notificationSettings class was split into chatNotificationSettings and scopeNotificationSettings.
    • Only two notification settings scopes are left: notificationSettingsScopePrivateChats which is responsible for default notification settings for private and secret chats and notificationSettingsScopeGroupChats for all other chats.

  • Added the ability to use synchronous requests and setAlarm before the library is initialized.

For example, setNetworkType can be used to disable the network for TDLib before the library tries to use it; addProxy can be used to add a proxy before any network activity; or setOption("use_pfs") can be used to guarantee that PFS is used for all requests.
