Also, since we changed all exceptions to TelegramError, you might want to check you exception handling code before updating in production.Updater from 1 to 0@run_async-decorator could not have additional arguments
- Add groups and groupdict as additional optional arguments for regex-based handlers
Note: Handlers that use the @run_async-decorator are now required to have **kwargs at the end of their argument list. This enables them to receive optional arguments, as well. Please keep that in mind before updating.chat-field in Message is now of the new type Chat. (API update Oct 8 2015)
- Message now contains the optional fields supergroup_chat_created, migrate_to_chat_id, migrate_from_chat_id and channel_chat_created. (API update Nov 2015)
This might break backwards compability to v3.0, if you used the GroupChat class, which has been removed in favour of Chat. Please check before updating.Updater and Dispatcher classes that will hopefully make creating bots easier, faster and more reliable. Check the docs and examples on GitHub!
Code that worked on v2.9.2 should still work fine.
Update to v3.0 with:
pip install --upgrade python-telegram-botgetUpdates, this release brings you the network_delay-parameter, which allows you to increase the time getUpdates waits for the data to be transmitted over the network.
To update to v2.9.1, run:
pip install python-telegram-bot --upgradefuture is now a dependency for python-telegram-bot. Running pip install python-telegram-bot --upgrade will take care of it.
