Update the release from `v1.24` branch
Telethon is getting pretty outdated now (missing some key features such as emoji reactions and send_as). It's time to clean up the code and make a new PyPI release (v1.21.1, I guess).
Should also update the v1.24 branch itself from master with the aforementioned features.
Probably requires #3870 to be resolved first.
The problem with this is that there were some other changes with the v1.24 branch that make external session storages break. Because of this, it's a breaking change which should not be released in the v1 series. However, v2 is another thing entirely, which is nowhere near ready. This should explain the lack of a new release to PyPi and the existence of the v1.24 branch (a necessity, because it was starting to be too old and breaking too).
Well, then let's move on with v2 for now (to once become v3), and for the time being release a v2 with the currently available breaking changes?
The code in master branch really doesn't work, in multiple ways.
Nah that's not my plan, I'd rather maintain fixes for v1.24 for as long as it takes me to finish v2, and make its installation process more prominent if needed.
Sure, however you decide. Yet I'd be more pleased to be able to use master (or, rather, a separate stable up-to-date branch) for now, so not closing.
Closing since this was done (v1.24 is now on PyPi and I intend to keep updating the layer of that, since the v1.24 branch is for the v1 series).
