* Added the method `getChatNotificationSettingsExceptions` which can be used to get chats with
non-default notification settings.

a peer-to-peer connection can be used.
* Added the option `ignore_background_updates` which allows to skip all updates received while the TDLib instance was
not running. The option does nothing if the database or secret chats are used.
* Added the read-only option `expect_blocking`, suggesting whether Telegram is blocked for the user.
* Added the read-only option `enabled_proxy_id`, containing the ID of the enabled proxy.

Android 4.1.
- Updated OpenSSL to version 1.1.1.
- Added x86_64 libraries.
* Added out of the box `FreeBSD` support.
* Significantly improved TDLib compilation time and decreased compiler RAM usage:
- In native C++ interface `td_api::object_ptr` is now a simple homebrew const-propagating class instead of
`std::unique_ptr`.
- Added the script `SplitSource.php`, which can be used to split some source code files before building
the library to reduce maximum RAM usage per file at the expense of increased build time.
* The update `updateOption` with the `version` option is now guaranteed to come before all other updates.
It can now be used to dynamically discover available methods.

- Setting the option `disable_contact_registered_notifications` now affects all user sessions.
When the option is enabled, the client will still receive `messageContactRegistered` message in the private chat,
but there will be no notification about the message.
- `getOption("disable_contact_registered_notifications")` can be used to fetch the actual value of the option,
the option will not be updated automatically after a change from another device.
* Decreased the maximum allowed first name and last name length to 64, chat title length to 128,
matching the new server-side limits.
* Decreased the maximum allowed value of the `forward_limit` parameter of the `addChatMember` method from 300 to 100,
matching the new server-side limit.

* Changed the recommended `inputThumbnail` size to be at most 320x320 instead of the previous 90x90.

* Numerous optimizations and bug fixes:
- Network implementation for Windows was completely rewritten to allow a literally unlimited number of
simultaneously used TDLib instances.
- TDLib instances can now share working threads with each other. Only a limited number of threads will be created
even if there are thousands of TDLib instances in a single process.
- Removed the restriction on the size of update or response result in JSON interface.
- Fixed pinning of the 5th chat when there is a sponsored chat.
- Fixed IPv6 on Windows.
