Changes in 1.4.0:
* Added a [TDLib build instructions generator](https://tdlib.github.io/td/build.html), covering in details
TDLib building on the most popular operating systems.
* Added an example of TDLib building and usage from a browser.
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.
- Added the field `download_offset` to the class `localFile` which contains the current download offset.
- The field `downloaded_prefix_size` of the `localFile` class now contains the number of available bytes
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.

* Removed the `on_closed` callback virtual method from low-level C++ ClientActor interface.
Callback destructor can be used instead.
* Updated dependencies in the prebuilt TDLib for Android:
- Updated SDK to SDK 28 in which helper classes was moved from `android.support.` to `androidx.` package.
- Updated NDK to r19c, which dropped support for Android versions up to 4.0.4, so the minimum supported version is
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.
* Added the ability to delete incoming messages in private chats and revoke messages without a time limit:
- Added the parameter `revoke` to the method `deleteChatHistory`; use it to delete chat history for all chat members.
- Added the fields `can_be_deleted_only_for_self` and `can_be_deleted_for_all_users` to `Chat` object
which can be used to determine for whom the chat can be deleted through the `deleteChatHistory` method.
- The fields `Message.can_be_deleted_only_for_self` and `Message.can_be_deleted_for_all_users` can still be used
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.
* Decreased the maximum allowed value of the `forward_limit` parameter of the `addChatMember` method from 300 to 100,
matching the new server-side limit.
* Added protection from opening two TDLib instances with the same database directory from one process.
* Added copying of notification settings of new secret chats from notification settings of
the corresponding private chat.
* Excluded the sponsored chat (when using sponsored proxies) from unread counters.
* Allowed to pass decreased local_size in `setFileGenerationProgress` to restart the generation from the beginning.
* Added a check for modification time of original file in `inputFileGenerated` whenever possible.
If the original file was changed, then TDLib will restart the generation.
* Added the destruction of MTProto keys on the server during log out.
* Added support for hexadecimal-encoded and decimal-encoded IPv4 proxy server addresses.
* Improved the behavior of `changeImportedContacts` which now also deletes contacts of users without Telegram accounts
from the server.
* Added the ability to call `getStorageStatistics` before authorization.
* Allowed to pass `limit` = -`offset` for negative offset in the `getChatHistory` method.
* 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.
- Fixed IPv6 on Windows.
- Improved network connections balancing, aliveness checks and overall stability.
