Site has been updated!
kotatogram.github.io

It hasn't been updated for a long time, and was practically abandoned. But I've decided to fix it, give it a better template, and add info to it from time to time.

What's done now:
Updated feature list. In future I'm planning to make separate page for every feature, but for now at least there is an updated list.
Answers to frequently asked questions. For now there are only questions at hand, but it's possible that this list will be expanded eventually.
Separate page for downloading. Because I have been asked "How to download?".
Blog. There I will post big change logs, post site news and write about other things related to Kotatogram.

Also there are comments made with comments.app by Telegram.

Where is the fork update?
Good news: fork will be released in coming days. Currently there is a final bug-catching and waiting for translators. If you're a translator, check Crowdin page!

Next version 1.4 is planned in stable branch even if there will be few hard-to-catch bugs. Too many bugs slowed the release already.
New version is out!
1.4 (TD 2.7.1)

Months have passed since last update but stable version is now released. Moreover, that version is based on new Telegram Desktop sources which means that it contains all its features: comments multi-pins, voice chats in groups and channels, temporary invite links and more.

But this release is not only about sources update, it would happen earlier otherwise. Some big features were promoted from beta version to stable:

Local folders. They have no limits for chat count in folder, pinned chats count or folder name length (there are only technical limits, but it's nearly impossible to hit them with common usage). Also they have expanded limits for icons and filters (in "Exclude chats").
Unquoted forward. Even though breaking of this feature provoked such a long delay in updates, it has been fixed up to maximum and brought to stable version. Because of it you can now forward messages as copies without "Forwarded from" tag. It works with nearly all message types: e.g. you can copy polls like this. But if you'll forward poll unquoted to private chat, tag will be preserved, because you can't create polls in PMs.

Aside of big features, there are many smaller features, and if I'll describe them in full, then I'll hit 4096 symbols limit. So I decided to make separate page for changelog on my site.

Test versions

While update was delayed I've been releasing test versions in chat. They were too unstable for beta and I wanted to collect relatively quick feedback for them. But they had problems too: auto-updating and versioning.

So I've decided to make separate test branches. But first there are few warnings.

• They can be highly unstable. Because of that you shouldn't use your main profile.
• They're updated separately. Test versions can be updated to test version of same branch, but not to stable/beta.

To prevent mixing test versions with stable and beta, they will be published to separate channel: t.me/KotatogramTestVersions.

Bug reports for them are accepted in t.me/kotatochat.
New version is out!
1.4.1 (TD 2.7.4)

This release only updates Telegram Desktop sources and fixes some bugs.

Full changelog (though it's pretty short one) can be seen on site:
