Hi all, As you might know python 2.7.x will reach its [end of life](https://pythonclock.org/) on January 1st 2020. We will follow this by also stopping support for python 2.7. Commits made to the library after this date will no longer be tested for version 2.7 support and python 3.x specific features will be accepted in PRs. Be advised that if you're still using python 2.7 and you want to keep using our library in the new year, it's time for you to move on.

Well... This felt like decades. But here we are with a new release: V12.0.0 !!! Expect minor releases soon (mainly complete Bot API 4.4 support) We're delighted to have 3 new developers in our team: @HirschHeissIch , @Poolitzer & @Nukesor Some of them had already contributed to this release.

See the CHANGES.rst file on our github page for more details.

It is finally time for a new release of python-telegram-bot, this time it's version 12.0.0b1! For the first time ever we have decided to do a beta release, since it has been so long since last release that we would like to test the impact before a final release. We do NOT recommend using this beta release in production. Major changes: - Context based callbacks - Persistence - PrefixHandler added (Handler overhaul) - Deprecation of RegexHandler and edited_messages, channel_post, etc. arguments (Filter overhaul) - Various ConversationHandler changes and fixes Since this is a beta release we have chosen to not list all changes here. See CHANGES.rst for a full list of the changes. This release has numerous backwards incompatible changes. See the wiki page at https://git.io/fxJuV for a detailed guide on how to migrate from version 11 to version 12. Since this is beta release it will not automatically be installed by pip. Instead you should do pip install python-telegram-bot==12.0.0b1 to explicitly request the new version.
