This felt like decades. But here we are with a new release. Expect minor releases soon (mainly complete Bot API 4.4 support) **Major and/or breaking 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 - Bot API 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 support - Python 3.4 is no longer supported - Error Handler now handles all types of exceptions (:pr:`1485`) - Return UTC from from_timestamp() (:pr:`1485`) **See the wiki page at https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Transition-guide-to-Version-12.0 for a detailed guide on how to migrate from version 11 to version 12.** Context based callbacks (:pr:`1100`) ------------------------------------ - Use of ``pass_`` in handlers is deprecated. - Instead use ``use_context=True`` on ``Updater`` or ``Dispatcher`` and change callback from (bot, update, others...) to (update, context). - This also applies to error handlers ``Dispatcher.add_error_handler`` and JobQueue jobs (change (bot, job) to (context) here). - For users with custom handlers subclassing Handler, this is mostly backwards compatible, but to use the new context based callbacks you need to implement the new collect_additional_context method. - Passing bot to ``JobQueue.__init__`` is deprecated. Use JobQueue.set_dispatcher with a dispatcher instead. - Dispatcher makes sure to use a single `CallbackContext` for a entire update. This means that if an update is handled by multiple handlers (by using the group argument), you can add custom arguments to the `CallbackContext` in a lower group handler and use it in higher group handler. NOTE: Never use with @run_async, see docs for more info. (:pr:`1283`) - If you have custom handlers they will need to be updated to support the changes in this release. - Update all examples to use context based callbacks. Persistence (:pr:`1017`) ------------------------ - Added PicklePersistence and DictPersistence for adding persistence to your bots. - BasePersistence can be subclassed for all your persistence needs. - Add a new example that shows a persistent ConversationHandler bot Handler overhaul (:pr:`1114`) ----------------------------- - CommandHandler now only triggers on actual commands as defined by telegram servers (everything that the clients mark as a tabable link). - PrefixHandler can be used if you need to trigger on prefixes (like all messages starting with a "/" (old CommandHandler behaviour) or even custom prefixes like "#" or "!"). Filter overhaul (:pr:`1221`) ---------------------------- - RegexHandler is deprecated and should be replaced with a MessageHandler with a regex filter. - Use update filters to filter update types instead of arguments (message_updates, channel_post_updates and edited_updates) on the handlers. - Completely remove allow_edited argument - it has been deprecated for a while. - data_filters now exist which allows filters that return data into the callback function. This is how the regex filter is implemented. - All this means that it no longer possible to use a list of filters in a handler. Use bitwise operators instead! ConversationHandler ------------------- - Remove ``run_async_timeout`` and ``timed_out_behavior`` arguments (:pr:`1344`) - Replace with ``WAITING`` constant and behavior from states (:pr:`1344`) - Only emit one warning for multiple CallbackQueryHandlers in a ConversationHandler (:pr:`1319`) - Use warnings.warn for ConversationHandler warnings (:pr:`1343`) - Fix unresolvable promises (:pr:`1270`) Bug fixes & improvements ------------------------ - Handlers should be faster due to deduped logic. - Avoid compiling compiled regex in regex filter.
