Post #135

We’ve just released v20.5. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release. As usual, upgrade using pip install -U python-telegram-bot. This update brings support for Bot API 6.8. Moreover, it removes functionality that was deprecated with the introduction of Bot API 6.5, 6.6 or 6.7. The largest part of this is the renaming of all thumb(_*) arguments and attributes to thumbnail(_*). The removal of this functionality is in line with our stability policy. Apart from that, this release brings a new argument has_args for CommandHandler as well as the new method Application.stop_running. For the full list of changes and improvements, please see below.
