v2.2.0
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.
