4.0.0 Full async
Fully asynchronous MadelineProto!
MadelineProto now features async, for incredible speed improvements, and parallel processing. Powered by amphp, MadelineProto wraps the AMPHP APIs to provide a simpler generator-based async API.
What exactly is async, you may ask, and how is it better than threading or multiprocessing?
Async is a relatively new programming pattern that allows you to easily write non-blocking code as if you were using standard blocking functions, all without the need for complex message exchange systems and synchronization handling for threaded programs, that only add overhead and complexity to your programs, making everything slower and error-prone.
More simply put: with MadelineProto 4.0, each update is handled in parallel using a separate thread, and everything is done in parallel (even on restricted webhosts!).
To enable async, you have to do two simple things:
That's it!
No need to set up thread pools (that don't even work in PHP), use synchronization primitives, and so on...
Just yield $MadelineProto->messages->sendMessage instead of $MadelineProto->messages->sendMessage.
Naturally, async is not the only feature present in MadelineProto 4.0: to implement async in MadelineProto, I rewrote the **entire codebase two times** over the course of the last six months, as shown in the diff:
```

- I **completely refactored** the connection stack:
I threw out of the window my custom OOP wrapper for vanilla PHP sockets and created a brand new OOP connection stack.
The new connection stack uses a brand new incremental buffered async socket wrapper [Stream API](https://github.com/danog/MadelineProto/tree/master/src/danog/MadelineProto/Stream), that greatly simplifies work with layered protocols like MTProto.
Each MTProto packet is passed through a Stream layer, each one taking care of one part of the MTProto envelope, finally sending off everything to telegram using a simple AMPHP socket.
The simplified async buffered implementation of AMPHP sockets I created allowed me to easily add support for ALL **MTProto protocols**, including a few I haven't implemented before like the padded protocol.
Obfuscation is now handled via a separate setting, and can be enabled for **all** transports, not just `tcp_abridged` (it can be used to prevent ISP blocks in combination with the padded protocol, for example).
I also added support for different **MTProto transports**, including the brand new **websocket transport** and **secure websocket transport (HTTPS)**, until now only implemented in tdlib!
If you want all communcations with telegram to be **double** or **triple**-encrypted using HTTPS+MTProto+obfuscation, you can enable the `wss` transport.
(the websocket transport may or may not also be used in future to implement MadelineProto in the browser with webassembly ;)
The new [proxy API](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/docs/PROXY.html) is also based on the new stream API, and now supports **MTProxies**!
You can still use the socks5 and HTTP transports if you want.
[Writing your custom proxies](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/docs/PROXY.html#build-your-proxy) now is now a LOT easier, thanks to the neat structure of the stream APIs and the abundant PHPDOC comments.
~~~
Streams and proxies aren't the only things that have changed in this release:
I have written a **unique** socket message handler API based on [MadelineProto's loop API](https://docs.madelineproto.xyz/docs/ASYNC.html#async-loop-apis): and greatly simplifies
Let's elaborate on this: when I say **thread**, I actually mean **green thread**, often called **strand**.
**Strands** are behave exactly like normal **threads**, except that they're implemented in user-space, and they're much **faster**, **more reliable**, and **do not suffer** from synchronization issues present with normal threads.
