1.0.5

• Added a switch --no-media to completely skip downloading media files. #7
• Added support for accounts having more than 1 million messages. I think. I don't have nearly enough messages and can't really test this.
• Added code to detect anti virus software scanning downloaded files and thus preventing us from renaming those files.
• The update check will now also print the description of the new version if one is found.
• Removed the extra five minutes waiting time for FLOOD_WAIT errors. We will now wait only the needed time + plus one second. Just to be safe.
• Increased the delay between getMessages in a hope to get rid of the many FLOOD_WAIT messages that are now appearing.
• Fixed channels with large IDs messing up your message download.
• Fixed this tool being compatible to Java 7 but then requiring Java 8 because of the Kotlogram library anyway. It now completely requires Java 8. #5
• Fixed a bug when you had messages with a TLDocument but without any TLDocumentAttributes.

1.0.4

This is the first "public" version of telegram_backup.

1.0.4-pre.4

Version 1.0.4-pre.4

1.0.4-pre.3

Release candidate for 1.0.4.

1.0.3

New in this version:

• A README containing lots of useful information. ;-)
• Runs of this tool are logged in an additional table in the database. This will be useful for Nagios / Icinga monitoring integration.
• Added daemon mode, reachable via --daemon: The tool keeps running after the download is complete. In this mode, new messages will be saved in real time. This is highly experimental code that prints strange stuff and may or may not work. Be warned.
