v0.14.1 (2023-06-26)

Added

  • Added option to delete megolm sessions that were received before the automatic ratcheting options were introduced.
  • Added config option to use IPv6 for Telegram connection (thanks to @exciler in #920).

Improved

  • Dropped support for Python 3.8.
  • Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.18.
  • Added timeout for forward backfills to prevent it from getting stuck permanently.

Fixed

  • Fixed bridge incorrectly trusting member list and kicking users when supergroup has member list hidden.
  • Fixed sending messages after creating groups from Matrix using relaybot instead of puppet (thanks to @maltee1 in #902).

v0.13.0 (2023-02-26)

Added

  • Added allow_contact_info config option to specify whether personal names and avatars for other users should be bridged.
    • The option is only safe to enable on single-user instances, using it anywhere else will cause ghost user profiles to flip back and forth between personal and default ones.
  • Added config option to notify Matrix room if bridging an incoming message fails.

Improved

  • Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.17.
  • Updated to Telegram API layer 152.
  • Improved handling users getting logged out.
  • Removed support for creating accounts, as Telegram only allows requesting SMS login codes on the official mobile clients now.

v0.12.2 (2022-11-26)

Added

  • Added built-in custom emoji packs to allow reacting with any standard unicode emoji from Matrix (note that only premium users can use custom emojis).
  • Added infinite backfill using MSC2716.
    • The new system includes a backwards compatibility mechanism which uses the old method of just sending events to the room. By default, MSC2716 is not enabled and the legacy method will be used.

Improved

  • Redacting reactions on Matrix no longer removes the user's other reactions to the same message (premium users can have up to 3 reactions per message).
  • Changes to default user permissions on Telegram are now bridged.
  • Added database index to make reaction polling more efficient (thanks to @AndrewFerr in #862).

Fixed

  • Fixed provisioning API not working with URL-encoded parameters.

v0.12.1 (2022-09-26)

Added

  • Support for custom emojis in reactions.
    • Like other bridges with custom emoji reactions, they're bridged as mxc:// URIs, so client support is required to render them properly.

Improved

  • The bridge will now poll for reactions to 20 most recent messages when receiving a read receipt. This works around Telegram's bad protocol that doesn't notify clients on reactions to other users' messages.
  • The docker image now has an option to bypass the startup script by setting the MAUTRIX_DIRECT_STARTUP environment variable. Additionally, it will refuse to run as a non-root user if that variable is not set (and print an error message suggesting to either set the variable or use a custom command).
  • Moved environment variable overrides for config fields to mautrix-python. The new system also allows loading JSON values to enable overriding maps like login_shared_secret_map.

Fixed

  • ChatParticipantsForbidden is handled properly when syncing non-supergroup info.
  • Fixed some bugs with file transfers when using SQLite.
  • Fixed error when attempting to log in again after logging out.
  • Fixed QR login not working.
  • Fixed error syncing chats if bridging a message had previously been interrupted.

v0.12.0 (2022-08-26)

N.B. This release requires a homeserver with Matrix v1.1 support, which bumps up the minimum homeserver versions to Synapse 1.54 and Dendrite 0.8.7. Minimum Conduit version remains at 0.4.0.

Added

  • Added provisioning API for resolving Telegram identifiers (like usernames).
  • Added support for bridging Telegram custom emojis to Matrix.
  • Added option to not bridge chats with lots of members.
  • Added option to include captions in the same message as the media to implement MSC2530. Sending captions the same way is also supported and enabled by default.
  • Added commands to kick or ban relaybot users from Telegram.
  • Added support for Telegram's disappearing messages.
  • Added support for bridging forwarded messages as forwards on Telegram.
    • Forwarding is not allowed in relay mode as the bot wouldn't be able to specify who sent the message.
    • Matrix doesn't have real forwarding (there's no forwarding metadata), so only messages bridged from Telegram can be forwarded.
    • Double puppeted messages from Telegram currently can't be forwarded without removing the fi.mau.double_puppet_source key from the content.
    • If forwarding fails (e.g. due to it being blocked in the source chat), the bridge will automatically fall back to sending it as a normal new message.
  • Added options to make encryption more secure.
    • The encryption -> verification_levels config options can be used to make the bridge require encrypted messages to come from cross-signed devices, with trust-on-first-use validation of the cross-signing master key.
    • The encryption -> require option can be used to make the bridge ignore any unencrypted messages.
    • Key rotation settings can be configured with the encryption -> rotation config.

Improved

  • Improved handling the bridge user leaving chats on Telegram, and new users being added on Telegram.
  • Improved animated sticker conversion options: added support for animated webp and added option to convert video stickers (webm) to the specified image format.
  • Audio and video metadata is now bridged properly to Telegram.
  • Added database index on Telegram usernames (used when bridging username @-mentions in messages).
  • Changed /login/send_code provisioning API to return a proper error when the phone number is not registered on Telegram.
    • The same login code can be used for registering an account, but registering is not currently supported in the provisioning API.
  • Removed plaintext_highlights config option (the code using it was already removed in v0.11.0).
  • Enabled appservice ephemeral events by default for new installations.
    • Existing bridges can turn it on by enabling ephemeral_events and disabling sync_with_custom_puppets in the config, then regenerating the registration file.
  • Updated to API layer 144 so that Telegram would send new message types like premium stickers to the bridge.
  • Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.16 and made it smaller.

Fixed

  • Fixed command prefix in game and poll messages (thanks to @cynhr in #804).

v0.11.3 (2022-04-17)

N.B. This release drops support for old homeservers which don't support the new /v3 API endpoints. Synapse 1.48+, Dendrite 0.6.5+ and Conduit 0.4.0+ are supported. Legacy r0 API support can be temporarily re-enabled with pip install mautrix==0.16.0. However, this option will not be available in future releases.

Added

  • Added list-invite-links command to list invite links in a chat.
  • Added option to use MSC2246 async media uploads.
  • Provisioning API for listing contacts and starting private chats.

Improved

  • Dropped Python 3.7 support.
  • Telegram->Matrix message formatter will now replace t.me/c/chatid/messageid style links with a link to the bridged Matrix event (in addition to the previously supported t.me/username/messageid links).
  • Updated formatting converter to keep newlines in code blocks as \n instead of converting them to <br/>.
  • Removed max_document_size option. The bridge will now fetch the max size automatically using the media repo config endpoint.
  • Removed redundant msgtype field in sticker events sent to Matrix.
  • Disabled file logging in Docker image by default.
    • If you want to enable it, set the filename in the file log handler to a path that is writable, then add "file" back to logging.root.handlers.
  • Reactions are now marked as read when bridging read receipts from Matrix.

Fixed

  • Fixed !tg bridge throwing error if the parameter is not an integer
  • Fixed !tg bridge failing if the command had been previously run with an incorrectly prefixed chat ID (e.g. !tg bridge -1234567 followed by !tg bridge -1001234567).
  • Fixed bridge_matrix_leave config option not actually being used correctly.
  • Fixed public channel mentions always bridging into a user mention on Matrix rather than a room mention.
    • The bridge will now make room mentions if the portal exists and fall back to user mentions otherwise.
  • Fixed newlines being lost in unformatted forwarded messages.

v0.11.2 (2022-02-14)

N.B. This will be the last release to support Python 3.7. Future versions will require Python 3.8 or higher. In general, the mautrix bridges will only support the lowest Python version in the latest Debian or Ubuntu LTS.

Added

  • Added simple fallback message for live location and venue messages from Telegram.
  • Added support for t.me/+code style invite links in !tg join.
  • Added support for showing channel profile when users send messages as a channel.

  • Fixed migrating pre-v0.11 legacy databases if the database schema had been corrupted (e.g. by using 3rd party tools for SQLite -> Postgres migration).
  • Fixed converting animated stickers to webm with >33 FPS.
  • Fixed a bug in v0.11.0 that broke mentioning users in groups (thanks to @dfuchss in #724).

v0.11.0 (2021-12-28)

  • Switched from SQLAlchemy to asyncpg/aiosqlite.
    • The default database is now Postgres. If using SQLite, make sure you install the sqlite optional dependency.
    • Alembic is no longer used, schema migrations happen automatically on startup.
    • The automatic database migration requires you to be on the latest legacy database version. If you were running any v0.10.x version, you should be on the latest version already. Otherwise, update to v0.10.2 first, upgrade the database with alembic, then upgrade to v0.11.0 (or higher).
  • Added support for contact messages.
  • Added support for Telegram sponsored messages in channels.
    • Only applies to broadcast channels with 1000+ members (as per https://t.me/durov/172).
    • Only applies if you're using puppeting with a normal user account, because bots can't get sponsored messages.
  • Fixed non-supergroup member sync incorrectly kicking one user from the Matrix side if there was no limit on the number of members to sync (broke in v0.10.2).
  • Updated animated sticker conversion to support lottieconverter r0.2 (thanks to @sot-tech in #694).
  • Updated Docker image to Alpine 3.15.

  • Updated room syncer to use existing power levels to find appropriate levels for admins and normal users instead of hardcoding 50 and 0.
  • Updated to Telegram API layer 133 to handle 64-bit user/chat/channel IDs.
  • Stopped logging message contents when message handling failed (thanks to @justinbot in #681).
  • Removed Element iOS compatibility hack from non-sticker files.
  • Made max_initial_member_sync work for non-supergroups too (thanks to @tadzik in #680).
  • SQLite is now supported for the crypto database. Pickle is no longer supported. If you were using pickle, the bridge will create a new e2ee session and store the data in SQLite this time.

Fixed

  • Fixed generating reply fallbacks to encrypted messages.
  • Fixed chat sync failing if the member list contained banned users.

v0.10.1 (2021-08-19)

Fixed

  • Fixed bug where syncing members sometimes kicked ghosts of users who were actually still in the chat.

  • Unbridging direct chat portals is now possible.

rc1 (2020-10-24)
