Post #133

We've just released v20.3. 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 6.7. Moreover, it introduces a brand-new stability policy. While earlier versions of python-telegram-bot also had stable interfaces, they had no explicit stability policy and this addition now closes that gap. Please be sure to give it a read.
