Introducing Bot API 3.0.
May 18, 2017

NEW Payment Platform
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bots can now receive payments for goods and services via Telegram.
• Your bot can now accept payments for goods and services via Telegram.
• Added new kinds of updates, shipping_query and pre_checkout_query, and new types of message content, invoice and successful payment.
• Added new methods for payments: sendInvoice, answerShippingQuery, and answerPreCheckoutQuery.
• Added a new type of button, the pay button to InlineKeyboardButton.

NEW Video Messages
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Since Telegram v4.0, users can send short video messages using a familiar interface, familiar to voice messages.
• Added method sendVideoNote, video_note a new field in the Message object, field record_video_note and upload_video_note method sendChatAction.

NEW Multilingual Bots
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The User object now may have a language_code field that contains the IETF language tag of the user's language.
Due to this, bots can now offer localized responses to users that speak different languages.

More power to admin bots
• ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠unbanChatMember now also works in channels!
• New method deleteMessage that allows the bot to delete its own messages, as well as messages posted by other in groups and channels where the bot is an administrator.

Minor Changes
• New_chat_member field in the Message object is replaced by new_chat_members (for a short period of time will be available both for backward compatibility).
• Inline keyboard with fields switch_inline_query and switch_inline_query_current_chat now cannot be sent to channels because of its futility.
• Added field in the object gif_duration InlineQueryResultGif and mpeg4_duration object InlineQueryResultMpeg4Gif
