###October 28, 2015

  • Most official clients support adding bots to channel administrators by now.

###October 8, 2015

  • Added initial channel support for bots (no Telegram clients support this at the moment, please wait for updates):
  • The Chat field in the Message is now of the new type Chat.
  • You can now pass a channel username (in the format @channelusername) in the place of chat_id in all methods (and instead of from_chat_id in forwardMessage). For this to work, the bot must be an administrator in the channel (and that‘s exactly what Telegram clients don’t support yet — adding bots as administrators coming soon).

###September 18, 2015

  • Bots can now download files and media sent by users.
  • Added getFile and File.

###September 7, 2015

  • You can now send JSON requests (please note that this doesn't work for file uploads: use multipart/form-data to upload files).
  • Added very basic markdown support. New field parse_mode added to sendMessage. For the moment messages with markdown will be only displayed correctly in Telegram for Android. Other official apps will catch up soon. This will only work with messages from bots.

###August 29, 2015

  • Added support for self-signed certificates: upload your certificate using the certificate parameter in the setWebhook method.
  • You can now make new requests when responding to webhook updates.

###August 15, 2015

  • Added new type Voice and new method sendVoice for sending voice messages.
  • Earlier Audio and sendAudio should now be used for sending music files. Telegram clients will show such files in the in-app music player. If you were using sendAudio for your bot to send voice messages, please use sendVoice instead.
  • Added optional fields performer, title to the Audio object and sendAudio method.
  • Added optional field voice to the Message object.

###July 2015

  • The thumb field is now optional for Video, Sticker and Document objects
  • The API now supports both video and photo captions. The caption field has been removed from the Video object and added to the Message object instead.
  • caption and duration optional fields have been added to the sendVideo method.
  • Fixed typo: user_id in the Contact object is now correctly labeled as Integer, not String
