Post #113

Hi. Many of you are eagerly waiting for the promisedasyncio release. The developers team has been working on this for quite some time now and we are happy to say that the "14" release is closing in. Many of you will also know that Telegram released an API update earlier today. So far we have added support for new API updates to version 13 rather quickly. However, each API update has slowed down the development of v14. As the 6.0 API update is a relatively large one and an asyncio release is rather close at hand, we have decided to postpone adding support for the new API update until after an asyncio release is out. Our specific plan is as follows: 1️⃣ We do our best to get a v14 release out as fast as possible. This will be a pre-release. 2️⃣ We add support for Bot API 6.0 to v14. 3️⃣ We backport Bot API 6.0 to v13. 4️⃣ We positively consider backporting any Bot API updates to v13 as long as there is no stable v14 release. The backports may take more time than the updates for v14. If the development team has too few resources or the updates are too big, we may have to abandon API updates for v13 in favour of improving v14. We are aware that our decision may not be convenient for everyone. We hope that you can understand that we aim to advance our library and not delay the asyncio release any more. Sincerely, the PTB development team
