Telegram protocol

[kaomot]

I'm very happy to see that Telegram is finally coming to Miranda, even though the implementation just begun, as it can be seen in the link bellow:

http://trac.miranda-ng.org/log/trunk/protocols/Telegram

Any idea of when we might have a working protocol?

Can't wait to start using Miranda again, and you can count on me for beta testing!

There is a small bounty for Telegram support at https://www.bountysource.com/issues/37577065-add-support-for-telegram

[lunamoth]

please, make it

Someone has increased the bounty to $ 265

Seems like it is dead again, although it got the most votes on the uservoice service (https://miranda-ng.uservoice.com/forums/250387-general/filters/top).

I would really love this addon and help develop it by testing stuff out for example!

Maybe this summer. Maybe...

[webtau]

When will you release this protocol??

[dartraiden]

The project has one active developer, there is absolutely no time for new protocol support. In addition, Telegram TOS requires all third-party clients to implement support for deleting messages. This will require even more effort, because Miranda core does not support deleting messages from the database at the request of the server.

One quick correction, we do indeed support deletion of messages from the database. For starters, Discord is the protocol that implements it. The rest is quite true, our only active dev is @ghazan , and we all love him, but he doesn't have time for implementation of a new protocol since Miranda is not his job

[Thug]

Vulpix, Elzor is also an active developer But he is working on VK protocol only. Anyway I wonder why so few coders are interested in Miranda. Pidgin has many developers working on different plugins. I have tried it, but Miranda seems much cooler for me. So why Pidgin attracts more people?

[Vulpix]

Ah! My apologies to Elzor, quite true.

I guess because Pidgin compiles and runs on Linux natively?

[janskalicky]

any current activity on support for the Telegram protocol?

[ghazan]

janskalicky, no, not at all, total silence

janskalicky, no, not at all, total silence

very pity. its fine to have telegram in lightwess messenger instead of monstrous telegram/unigram etc. even with no voice/videos, just to texting.

[ghazan]

hooddy,
well, right now an attempt is being made to implement WhatsApp protocol, because it's even more monstrous than Telegram
evidently, TG is the next goal
