A number of new features have been lingering on master for a while and haven't had any issues reported, so it's time for a new tag. Changelog:

  • Added support for supergroups [#22]
  • Added option loop_video to HTML dumper for autoplaying videos/gifs (contributed by @gorlug)
  • Added option maximum_dialogs to allow dumping of dialogs beyond the 100th (contributed by @the-glu)
  • Added option chunk_retry for retrying message chunk requests when telegram-cli times out (contributed by @4r0n05)
  • Option backup_dir may now be an absolute path (contributed by @araishikeiwai)

Because there are some new configuration options, if you use a customized configuration file, it should be recreated based on the default one.


The next major feature I am planning is a mode where telegram-cli is run under supervision of telegram-history-dump instead of having to start it manually. This will be easier for many users, but the most important reason is to allow crash recovery (automatic restart of telegram-cli), as it turns out telegram-cli regularly crashes on media downloads, and since it is currently not being actively maintained this will likely not change in the foreseeable future.

I will also handle some open issues that I haven't gotten around to yet.
