Quick release v12.4.1 #1744 was accidentally left out of v12.4.0 though mentioned in the release notes. Now this PR is merged. Upgrade using: pip install -U python-telegram-bot

We've just released v12.4.0 Thanks for anyone who've contributed to this release. As usual, upgrade using pip install -U python-telegram-bot New features: - Set default values for arguments appearing repeatedly. We also have a [wiki page for the new defaults](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Adding-defaults-to-your-bot). (#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).

Hi all, As you might know python 2.7.x will reach its end of life on January 1st 2020. We will follow this by also stopping support for python 2.7. Commits made to the library after this date will no longer be tested for version 2.7 support and python 3.x specific features will be accepted in PRs. Be advised that if you're still using python 2.7 and you want to keep using our library in the new year, it's time for you to move on.

It is finally time for a new release of python-telegram-bot, this time it's version 12.0.0b1! For the first time ever we have decided to do a beta release, since it has been so long since last release that we would like to test the impact before a final release. We do NOT recommend using this beta release in production. Major 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 Since this is a beta release we have chosen to not list all changes here. See CHANGES.rst for a full list of the changes. This release has numerous backwards incompatible changes. See the wiki page at https://git.io/fxJuV for a detailed guide on how to migrate from version 11 to version 12. Since this is beta release it will not automatically be installed by pip. Instead you should do pip install python-telegram-bot==12.0.0b1 to explicitly request the new version.
