Notes on Updates

Location of tmp / data dir

From version 0.70 on the tmp dir is renamed to 'data-bot-bash' to reflect the fact that not only temporary files are stored. an existing 'tmp-bot-bash' will be automatically renamed after update.

From version 0.50 on the temporary files are no more placed in '/tmp'. instead a dedicated tmp dir is used.

Changes to send_keyboard in v0.6

From Version 0.60 on keybord format for send_keyboard and send_message "mykeyboardstartshere ..." was changed. Keybords are now defined in JSON Array notation e.g. "[ \"yes\" , \"no\" ]". This has the advantage that you can create any type of keyboard supported by Telegram. The old format is supported for backward compatibility, but may fail for corner cases.

Example Keyboards:

  • yes no in two rows:
    • OLD format: 'yes' 'no' (two strings)
    • NEW format: '[ "yes" ] , [ "no" ]' (two arrays with a string)
  • new layouts made easy with NEW format:
    • Yes No in one row: '[ "yes" , "no" ]'
    • Yes No plus Maybe in 2.row: '[ "yes" , "no" ] , [ "maybe" ]'
    • numpad style keyboard: '[ "1" , "2" , "3" ] , [ "4" , "5" , "6" ] , [ "7" , "8" , "9" ] , [ "0" ]'
