- Pyrogram core is now fully asynchronous - Ditched Python 3.5, welcome 3.6 as minimum version. - Moved all types to pyrogram.types - Turned the Filters class into a module (filters) - Moved all filters to pyrogram.filters - Moved all handlers to pyrogram.handlers - Moved all emoji to pyrogram.emoji - Renamed pyrogram.api to pyrogram.raw - Clock is now synced with server's time - Telegram schema updated to Layer 117 - Greatly improved the TL compiler (proper type-constructor hierarchy) - Added "do not edit" warning in generated files - Crypto parts are executed in a thread pool to avoid blocking the event loop - idle() is now a separate function (it doesn't deal with Client instances) - Async storage, async filters and async progress callback (optional, can be sync too) - Added getpass back, for hidden password inputs

MTProto
|
|
The name of the custom-made, open and encrypted protocol by Telegram, implemented in Pyrogram.
|
|
:doc:`More on MTProto <topics/mtproto-vs-botapi>`.
|
|
|
|
MTProto API
|
|
The Telegram main API Pyrogram makes use of, which is able to connect both users and normal bots to Telegram
|
|
using MTProto as application layer protocol and execute any method Telegram provides from its public TL-schema.

|
Userbot
|
|
Also known as *user bot* or *ubot* for short, is a user logged in by third-party Telegram libraries --- such as
|
|
Pyrogram --- to automate some behaviours, like sending messages or reacting to text commands or any other event.

|
|
|
|
Handler
|
|
An object that wraps around a callback function that is *actually meant* to be registered into the framework,
|
|
which will then be able to handle a specific kind of events, such as a new incoming message, for example.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Decorator
|
|
Also known as *function decorator*, in Python, is a callable object that is used to modify another function.
|
|
Decorators in Pyrogram are used to automatically register callback functions for handling updates.
