 Changelog
 =========
 
+Version 12.4.0
+==============
+*Released 2020-02-08*
+
+**New features:**
+
+- Set default values for arguments appearing repeatedly. We also have a `wiki page for the new defaults`_. (`#1490`_)
+- Store data in ``CallbackContext.bot_data`` to access it in every callback. Also persists. (`#1325`_)
+- ``Filters.poll`` allows only messages containing a poll (`#1673`_)
+
+**Major changes:**
+
+- ``Filters.text`` now accepts messages that start with a slash, because ``CommandHandler`` checks for ``MessageEntity.BOT_COMMAND`` since v12. This might lead to your MessageHandlers receiving more updates than before (`#1680`_).
+- ``Filters.command`` new checks for ``MessageEntity.BOT_COMMAND`` instead of just a leading slash. Also by ``Filters.command(False)`` you can now filters for messages containing a command `anywhere` in the text (`#1744`_).
+
+**Minor changes, CI improvements or bug fixes:**
+
+- Add ``disptacher`` argument to ``Updater`` to allow passing a customized ``Dispatcher`` (`#1484`_)
+- Add missing names for ``Filters`` (`#1632`_)
+- Documentation fixes (`#1624`_, `#1647`_, `#1669`_, `#1703`_, `#1718`_, `#1734`_, `#1740`_, `#1642`_, `#1739`_, `#1746`_)
+- CI improvements (`#1716`_, `#1731`_, `#1738`_, `#1748`_, `#1749`_, `#1750`_, `#1752`_)
+- Fix spelling issue for ``encode_conversations_to_json`` (`#1661`_)
+- Remove double assignement of ``Dispatcher.job_queue`` (`#1698`_)
+- Expose dispatcher as property for ``CallbackContext`` (`#1684`_)
+- Fix ``None`` check in ``JobQueue._put()`` (`#1707`_)
+- Log datetimes correctly in ``JobQueue`` (`#1714`_)
+- Fix false ``Message.link`` creation for private groups (`#1741`_)
+- Add option ``--with-upstream-urllib3`` to `setup.py` to allow using non-vendored version (`#1725`_)
+- Fix persistence for nested ``ConversationHandlers`` (`#1679`_)
+- Improve handling of non-decodable server responses (`#1623`_)
+- Fix download for files without ``file_path`` (`#1591`_)
+- test_webhook_invalid_posts is now considered flaky and retried on failure (`#1758`_)
