[0.10.0] - 2019-04-10

Incompatible Linux library has been changed, now it’s compiled on Ubuntu with libc.

[0.9.0] - 2019-04-05

Incompatible default path for files is changed. Now the library uses an md5 hash of the phone number or bot token instead of just a phone number. It should not be noticeable for most cases, but if you rely on locally saved files or database, you need to pass the files_directory parameter to the telegram.client.Telegram.
Fixed problem with randomly raised “Database encryption key is needed” errors during login process. (#12)
Fixed stop method execution. (#8)
Added examples/bot_login.py example.

[0.8.0] - 2019-03-17

New required parameter in the telegram.client.Telegram: database_encryption_key.
Compiled tdlib files now are in the pypi package (Linux and MacOS).
Default location of the tdlib’s files changed to /tmp/.tdlib_files/{phone_number}.
Now you can define additional optional params:
- use_test_dc (default False)
- device_model
- system_version
- system_language_code
- application_version
- use_message_database (default True)
Added new example: chat_stats.py.

Added two new methods:

Logging level in the examples changed to INFO.
Added new Makefile command: docker-echo-bot.
All docker- commands in the Makefile now mount /tmp/ from a host machine to store tdlib’s files.
