Looks like it's once again time for: Telegram changed some weird internal stuff and how thumbnails take up either 4 times as much space or half as much space. Oh and they also seemingly randomized the width and height of said thumbnails....
Telegram Passport (#1174):
- Add full support for telegram passport.
- New types: PassportData, PassportFile, EncryptedPassportElement, EncryptedCredentials, PassportElementError, PassportElementErrorDataField, PassportElementErrorFrontSide, PassportElementErrorReverseSide, PassportElementErrorSelfie, PassportElementErrorFile and PassportElementErrorFiles.
- New bot method: set_passport_data_errors
- New filter: Filters.passport_data
- Field passport_data field on Message
- PassportData is automagically decrypted when you specify your private key when creating Updater or Bot.
- PassportFiles is also automagically decrypted as you download/retrieve them.
- See new passportbot.py example for details on how to use, or go to our telegram passport wiki page for more info
- NOTE: Passport decryption requires new dependency `cryptography`.
Inputfile rework (#1184):
- Change how Inputfile is handled internally
- This allows support for specifying the thumbnails of photos and videos using the thumb= argument in the different send_ methods.
- Also allows Bot.send_media_group to actually finally send more than one media.
- Add thumb to Audio, Video and Videonote
- Add Bot.edit_message_media together with InputMediaAnimation, InputMediaAudio, and inputMediaDocument.
Other Bot API 4.0 changes:
- Add forusquare_type to Venue, InlineQueryResultVenue, InputVenueMessageContent, and Bot.send_venue. (#1170)
- Add vCard support by adding vcard field to Contact, InlineQueryResultContact, InputContactMessageContent, and Bot.send_contact. (#1166)
- Support new message entities: CASHTAG and PHONE_NUMBER. (#1179)
- Cashtag seems to be things like $USD and $GBP, but it seems telegram doesn't currently send them to bots.
- Phone number also seems to have limited support for now
- Add Bot.send_animation, add width, height, and duration to Animation, and add Filters.animation. (#1172)

* Bot.get_file now allows passing a file in addition to file_id
* Add .get_file() to Audio, Document, PhotoSize, Sticker, Video, VideoNote and Voice
* Add .send_*() methods to User and Chat
Required fixes:
- CallbackQuery is now comparable.
- Message.effective_attachment, Message.photo,
Message.new_chat_members, Message.new_chat_photo &
Game.text_entitties semantic fixes - when they are not defined,
return an empty list.
- Docstring fix to Update class.
It would seem that length is no longer incorrectly required so that's good
However they stopped sending the file_size when you send via a file_id which is a bit odd
