Release v0.4.0 · ChuYanLon/telegram.nvim

[0.4.0] - 2026-05-29

Missing TDLib update handlers — message edits, deletions, group list, unread sync now broadcast via WebSocket in real-time
Graceful shutdown — SIGINT handler closes TDLib/WebSocket/HTTP properly, preventing binlog corruption
Date-based pagination — load_older/load_newer use message.date instead of message.id, fixing wrong messages loading in migrated groups
Login timeout — 5-minute timeout for TDLib login to prevent hanging forever
getChats iteration limit — max 1000 loops to prevent infinite pagination
Server route tests — expanded from 1 to 17 tests covering all endpoints
:TgPr squash merge — now offers squash and commit merge strategies
Private chat support — press c on a message to open DM; @newchat tool to DM by @username
Snacks picker — chat picker uses snacks.nvim with fuzzy search, falls back to vim.ui.select
ImageMagick requirement — documented for image display in Kitty terminal

GitHub ops extracted — :TgPr and :TgIssue moved to lua/telegram/github.lua, reducing init.lua by 370 lines
Updated all documentation — wiki pages synced with current architecture and features
Online count — fetched synchronously from TDLib with cache fallback
Typing indicator — floating popup below winbar instead of replacing title bar
Service message prefixes — bracket format ([+], [-], etc.) for safety
Console logging added — console.warn in all empty catch blocks for debuggability

Inconsistent chatId type conversion — normalized across all API endpoints (#113 by @jaideepkathiresan)
Auth race condition — wait for server ack before re-prompting auth input
TDLib version parsing — regex handles pre-release tags like 1.8.64-beta
JSON null safety — LuaJIT cdata handling for chatLastMessageUpdated event
Service message highlighting — TgService highlight group
Wiki sync workflow — pull before commit to avoid push conflicts
