Post #121

We've just released v20.0a3. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release. If you want to upgrade from v20.0a2 to v20.0a3, please upgrade with pip install -U --pre python-telegram-bot. Before upgrading from v13.x to v20.0a3, please carefully read the v20.0a0 release notes. This update brings full support for Bot API 6.2. It also brings a brand-new mechanism for rate limiting API requests. This is a replacement for the former MessageQueue and is well-integrated into the PTB framework.
