Kotatogram

With raising subscribers count (hello to @AlterTG) I'll answer the question which, as I understand, would be asked frequently: will ghost mode be implemented (don't send "read" message status, online status and typing status). Answer is simple: no, it won't be implemented. I'm not planning to add features that violate Telegram API Terms of Service (section 1.4).

Telegram has been unblocked in Russia! If you're from Russia, you probably know it anyway, or if not, you're probably not affected by it, but, well, now you know it anyway. It's good news for Russians, since using Telegram should be easier because you don't need to search and setup VPN/proxies. Regarding Kotatogram: many, including myself, had a problem with using Kotatogram without proxy. Telegram Desktop worked fine, but Kotatogram, based on same sources, for some reason didn't work. Now you can use Kotatogram without redundant actions. P.S. I perfectly understand that you're waiting for an update and new features. At the moment I can't work on fork at full scale, but when I'll can, I'll do it. I'm not planning to abandon it, since I use it most of the time. Just wait a little longer, and I'll make it soon.

New beta is out! 1.3.6 (TD 2.1.6) One of important releases in terms of builds. Static Linux binary changed to AppImage. Ideally there should not be any difference. But in practice it could happen, so I won't risk making this build stable. Also I've planned to release Windows build without LTO, but since it has auto-download bug, it's too early for this. But I hope that I'll move building to GitHub Actions eventually, because in this case release will be more frequent. If only GitHub won't decide to kick their servers down, like it happened a day ago. Changes • Option to disable emoji panel on mouse over. I had no problems with it, but people complained about accidental clicks, asking for this feature. Well, here it is. • Expanded downloaded mediafiles clear limit. Aside from default options (from 1 week to 1 year), you can set now from 1 to 6 days. Fixes • If you had bug with sound switching in tray, or more specifically, option text wasn't changing, now it's fixed. • Links to settings sections weren't working. Now they should. Test by yourself: tg://settings/kotato @IlyaFedin also brought some features and changes. • System window frame. It's already used on Linux, but Windows has its own, drawn by application. If you like system one more for any reason – that option is for you. • Disable tray icon counter. Earlier it was Linux-only feature, since it took value from environment variable. If you don't like tray counter for any reason, you can disable it with this. • System Telegram icon. This option still Linux-only, but it moved to Kotatogram Settings from environment variable. It allows to use Telegram icon from system icon theme instead of Kotatogram, that could be crucial, if there is no icon for Kotatogram in your icon theme. • Also you can change tray icon without restart. And as last one, taskbar flashing option now available in Telegram Desktop, so duplicate was removed. Now you can find it in Settings > Notifications, right after Play sound checkbox. P.S. If you're waiting for fcitx fix, it will be soon, supposedly in the next version.

New version is out! 1.3.5 (TD 2.1.4) TDesktop sources has been updated to 2.1.4. Regarding static builds for Linux Even though many voters supported static binary, nobody told why it's better than AppImage. So I decided to support static binary builds until 1.4 version, and in 1.4 switch to AppImage. Once again I'm reminding you that other builds like package manager builds won't change because of this.

A little explanation regarding AppImage from @IlyaFedin: AppImage doesn't have any significant differences from static binary. Both takes all dependencies with them, both by themselves are files, that you just need to run. However, AppImage build requires less effort and gives better system integration. I'll also remind that it's not about builds package manager: i.e. it won't affect kotatogram-desktop-dynamic-bin from AUR.
