MadelineProto 7

Introducing MadelineProto 7!

This update is mandatory for all MadelineProto users.

Due to 64-bit user IDs and Telegram's new API TOS, starting from January 1, 2022, old MadelineProto instances will stop working completely: even now, legacy instances can't login due to UPDATE_APP_TO_LOGIN errors.

If you're using MadelineProto 1 through 6, visit the releases page to view changelogs and upgrade tips.
You can also open an issue or visit the support group if you encounter issues while upgrading.

For most usecases, no changes are needed: however, graphical clients based on MadelineProto must implement sponsored messages.

Features:

• MadelineProto 7 provides a simple cached API to work with sponsored messages:
  • getSponsoredMessages
    Get sponsored messages for channel, returns a list of sponsored message objects.
  • viewSponsoredMessage
    Mark sponsored message as read.

Clients must then handle fetched sponsored messages as described in the API documentation.

• Layer 135! See the API documentation for a list of changed methods and constructors in layer 131-133.
