Post #131

We've just released v20.1. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release. As usual, upgrade using pip install -U python-telegram-bot. This update brings full support for Bot API 6.5. ⚠️ With the introduction of ChatJoinRequest.user_chat_id, Telegram emphasizes that User.id does not necessarily coincide with Chat.id in private chats with users. While this has been the case so far, and it's probably unlikely to change without the introduction of new Telegram features, we would like to make you aware of this. For example, this means that shortcut methods like User.send_message will break if User.id will ever not be equal to Chat.id. Moreover, this release some new functionality and pushes the cross-reference links in the documentation to the next level. For the full list of changes and improvements, please see below.
