It *is* backward-compatible, but now a freshly-introduced
turns-out-to-be-big feature is missing.
Here I was referencing the "new" channels and super-groups, which still
aren't implemented in telegram-purple, because Matthias hasn't had
enough time for that yet (and I don't have any time at all).
This is made worse by the fact that Telegram released or intends to
release a new feature: editable chat messages. This will cause even
more problems, since libpurple sinply doesn't have any API for that.
Is anything happening here?
Months passed since last email.
In short: no, nothing to see here.
If anyone is willing to work on libtgl's (the vysheng fork) missing API
for channels (which is the main thing holding up 1.3.0), go for it and
implement it. Then implement 1.3.0. If you do that, I'm more than
willing to help with the Debianization and maintain it for quite a while :P
Sorry. For now, you *could* clone and build from the github "dev-1.3.0"
branch, if you keep in mind that support for super-groups and channels
is incomplete (some messages may be silently dropped; some may be
duplicated). Or just clone and build from master, which is stable (but
doesn't support super-groups or channels at all).

Ben
