tdlight/CHANGELOG.md

  See https://github.com/tdlib/td/blob/master/example/web/ for more details.
* Allowed to pass NULL pointer to `td_json_client_execute` instead of a previously created JSON client.
  Now you can use synchronous TDLib methods through a JSON interface before creating a TDLib JSON client.
* Added support for media streaming by allowing to download any part of a file:
  - Added the `offset` parameter to `downloadFile` which specifies the starting position
    from which the file should be downloaded.
  - Added the `limit` parameter to `downloadFile` which specifies how many bytes should be downloaded starting from
    the `offset` position.

    from the position `download_offset` instead of from the beginning of the file.
  - Added the method `getFileDownloadedPrefixSize` which can be used to get the number of locally available file bytes
    from a given offset without actually changing the download offset.
* Added the parameter `synchronous` to `downloadFile` which causes the request to return the result only after
  the download is completed.

  - 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.

    to determine for whom the message can be deleted through the `deleteMessages` method.
* Added support for server-generated notifications about newly registered contacts:
  - 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.

* Changed the recommended `inputThumbnail` size to be at most 320x320 instead of the previous 90x90.
* Disabled building by default of the native C interface. Use `cmake --build . --target tdc` to build it.
* 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.
