Earth to vysheng?
Does anyone know how to get in touch with vysheng, the owner of this repo? It seems like he has abandoned it and it is no longer maintained. I propose we appoint an additional owner of the repo so that we can actually maintain this codebase. There are a lot of pull requests and issues that should be closed that haven't been touched in a long time.
- Vitaly's telegram can be found in readme: https://telegram.me/vysheng
- API Layer that is used in tgl is ancient. Upgrading the layer is a huge (but necessary) work, and I doubt that anybody else is capable of doing that. Especially if there are no docs :disappointed_relieved:
@jasonrhaas have you contacted him/any news? We might contact the pull-requester to find someone interested in maintaining it
edit: There are actually 622 open issues. It's a huge work just reading them and finding duplicates
but i think every thing maybe needed for updating tg to last layer provided with vysheng you only need generate constant and customize for your need. :)
@nico202 I reached out to him on Twitter and Telegram. Haven't heard back yet.
He has been active in the telegram cli support channel on telegram this weekend. But please, respect that he doesn't always have the time for telegram-cli, since it's just a free time project.

@LukeLR Totally understand time constraints, all I'm saying is that we nominate a co-admin or something to help maintain the repo it since vysheng is busy with other things.
I would, but I can't. It's a channel on telegram, and therefore only the admin can share an invite link. But since it was posted somewhere here, you'll probably find it with some clever searching. It's origin was in conjunction with the testing of the new releases telegram channels and group chats with 200+ members.

@LukeLR Would you mind share the telegram cli support channel to us?

As I already mentioned before, he has pushed recent versions to the telegram group.

Hey guys!
What about create github organization for this project and create fork of this repo to it?
This is regular practice for the same situations on open source.
Message from Vitaly (translated by google with little corrections):
Generally I use the telegram-cli as a primary desktop client. So I support it up to date.
At some point, about six months ago, I realized that I have no time to maintain it in its original form I stoped maintain on tgl and began to use tdlib (https://core.telegram.org/tdlib) as a library. I gave access to the sources, so that it operates well. The problem is that they did not gather to lay their sources in the public access, and without it I can not put on my own sources. I mean I can, but it's useless.
I have a version that worked with libedit instead of libreadline, so that, in principle, can put in binary form.
I'm not sure I understand what Vitaly is saying there other than he has no plans to maintain this repo. I vote for forking it to a new Github organization and maintaining it that way.
@arturtr could you please provide text in original w/o translation (I guess it is probably Russian but
nevertheless)? I can't understand machine translation..
@kiddick по русски он написал следующее:
Вообще я использую telegram-cli как основной десктопный клмент. Так что я его поддерживаю в актуальном состоянии.
В какой-то момент, примерно полгода назад, я понял, что времени поддерживать его в оригинальном виде у меня нет, поэтому я забил на tgl и стал в качестве библиотеки использовать tdlib ( https://core.telegram.org/tdlib ). Мне дали доступ к его исходникам, так что оно вполне работает. Проблема в том, что они никак не соберутся выложить свои исходники в публичный доступ, а без этого я не могу выложить свои. Ну то есть могу, но это бесполезно.
Я сделал версию, которая работая с libedit вместо libreadline, так что, в принципе, могу в бинарном виде выложить.
Ok, so, reading original text made it more clear for me. Several points:
- Vytaly is still maintaining telegram-cli, but he uses
tdlibinstead oftgl, which is unpublished for now, so he can't share last sources so far. - He can provide anyone with last binary file nevertheless.
really i think tgnet of DRKLO project now open source until layer57 and compiled for x86 if vysheng need can rewrite based those project instead tdlib....
This is what @vysheng said when asked about the latest telegram-cli progress:
They pushed some changes to library, that are not still publicly available. So I can not update my code. Though there are no major changes to tgcli itself, just small fixes + update of library
@arturtr
Where can I find documentation on this? Specifically, I am interested in handling events externally.
Use case: I would like to call an external command whenever a message arrives. The message information should be sent along with it.
Is this possible in the new version ?
