**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

- Small typo fix in setup.py (:pr:`1306`)
