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 (`#1485`_) - Return UTC from from_timestamp() (`#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 (`#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. (`#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 (`#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 (`#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 (`#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 (`#1344`_) - Replace with ``WAITING`` constant and behavior from states (`#1344`_) - Only emit one warning for multiple CallbackQueryHandlers in a ConversationHandler (`#1319`_) - Use warnings.warn for ConversationHandler warnings (`#1343`_) - Fix unresolvable promises (`#1270`_) Bug fixes & improvements ------------------------ - Handlers should be faster due to deduped logic. - Avoid compiling compiled regex in regex filter. (`#1314`_) - Add missing ``left_chat_member`` to Message.MESSAGE_TYPES (`#1336`_) - Make custom timeouts actually work properly (`#1330`_) - Add convenience classmethods (from_button, from_row and from_column) to InlineKeyboardMarkup - Small typo fix in setup.py (`#1306`_) - Add Conflict error (HTTP error code 409) (`#1154`_) - Change MAX_CAPTION_LENGTH to 1024 (`#1262`_) - Remove some unnecessary clauses (`#1247`_, `#1239`_) - Allow filenames without dots in them when sending files (`#1228`_) - Fix uploading files with unicode filenames (`#1214`_) - Replace http.server with Tornado (`#1191`_) - Allow SOCKSConnection to parse username and password from URL (`#1211`_) - Fix for arguments in passport/data.py (`#1213`_) - Improve message entity parsing by adding text_mention (`#1206`_) - Documentation fixes (`#1348`_, `#1397`_, `#1436`_) - Merged filters short-circuit (`#1350`_) - Fix webhook listen with tornado (`#1383`_) - Call task_done() on update queue after update processing finished (`#1428`_) - Fix send_location() - latitude may be 0 (`#1437`_) - Make MessageEntity objects comparable (`#1465`_) - Add prefix to thread names (`#1358`_) Buf fixes since v12.0.0b1 ------------------------- - Fix setting bot on ShippingQuery (`#1355`_) - Fix _trigger_timeout() missing 1 required positional argument: 'job' (`#1367`_) - Add missing message.text check in PrefixHandler check_update (`#1375`_) -
