- Update to version 0.12.0
* This release requires a homeserver with Matrix v1.1 support,
which bumps up the minimum homeserver versions to Synapse 1.54
and Dendrite 0.8.7. Minimum Conduit version remains at 0.4.0.
* Added provisioning API for resolving Telegram identifiersi
(like usernames).
* Added support for bridging Telegram custom emojis to Matrix.
* Added option to not bridge chats with lots of members.
* Added option to include captions in the same message as the media
to implement MSC2530. Sending captions the same way is also supported
and enabled by default.
* Added commands to kick or ban relaybot users from Telegram.
* Added support for Telegram's disappearing messages.
* Added support for bridging forwarded messages as forwards on Telegram.
- Forwarding is not allowed in relay mode as the bot wouldn't be able
to specify who sent the message.
- Matrix doesn't have real forwarding (there's no forwarding metadata),
so only messages bridged from Telegram can be forwarded.
- Double puppeted messages from Telegram currently can't be forwarded
without removing the fi.mau.double_puppet_source key from the content.
- If forwarding fails (e.g. due to it being blocked in the source chat),
the bridge will automatically fall back to sending it as a normal new message.
* Added options to make encryption more secure.
- The encryption -> verification_levels config options can be used to
make the bridge require encrypted messages to come from cross-signed devices,
with trust-on-first-use validation of the cross-signing master key.
- The encryption -> require option can be used to make the bridge ignore
any unencrypted messages.
- Key rotation settings can be configured with the encryption
-> rotation config.
* Improved handling the bridge user leaving chats on Telegram, and new users
being added on Telegram.
* Improved animated sticker conversion options: added support for animated webp
and added option to convert video stickers (webm) to the specified image format.
* Audio and video metadata is now bridged properly to Telegram.
* Added database index on Telegram usernames (used when bridging username
@-mentions in messages).
* Changed /login/send_code provisioning API to return a proper error when
the phone number is not registered on Telegram.
- The same login code can be used for registering an account, but
registering is not currently supported in the provisioning API.
* Removed plaintext_highlights config option (the code using it was already
removed in v0.11.0).
* Enabled appservice ephemeral events by default for new installations.
- Existing bridges can turn it on by enabling ephemeral_events and disabling
sync_with_custom_puppets in the config, then regenerating the registration file.
* Updated to API layer 144 so that Telegram would send new message types
like premium stickers to the bridge.
* Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.16 and made it smaller.
* Fixed command prefix in game and poll messages
