What's new in v0.13.0 (#84)

Reactions

  • Message reactions are captured and shown β€” as pills in the HTML export, and, with the new --reactions flag, inline in the TXT export (e.g. Nice post [πŸ‘5 ❀️2]).

Channel comments (--comments)

  • Comment media is now downloaded and rendered too.
  • Resumable: an interrupted run no longer re-scans every post on restart.
  • The redundant channel post is no longer repeated inside every comment.
  • HTML shows comments in a collapsible block per post with a "top N%" reaction filter (All / 1+ / Top 20% / 10% / 5%) that you can pin to the top while scrolling.
  • New --comments-min-reactions N keeps only comments with at least N reactions.

Citations

  • A reply to a message outside the downloaded date range now fetches the quoted message, so the citation is no longer empty.

Windows

  • New installer: telegram-download-chat-v0.13.0-setup.exe β€” per-user install with Start Menu/desktop shortcuts and an uninstaller (no admin required).
  • Self-update: Settings β†’ Software Update β†’ Update now downloads a tiny (~150 KB) app-*.zip and updates in place, instead of re-downloading the whole app.
  • The single-file portable telegram-download-chat.exe is still available.

GUI

  • Application version shown in the window title; greener, clearer progress bars.

Docs

  • README now documents --split, --no-fast-download, --html, --html-media-links, and --pdf.
