Bot API 6.1

Telegram Premium
• To support 4GB files uploaded by premium accounts, file_size in most media classes can no longer be stored in a signed 32-bit integer type.
• Bots can now distinguish premium Users and Stickers with the new respective fields is_premium and premium_animation.

Web Apps
• Added several methods and fields to the class WebApp to handle API version, additional colors, haptic feedback and more.
• Added the events backButtonClicked, settingsButtonClicked and invoiceClosed.
• Updated ThemeParams, MainButton and WebAppInitData with new fields and methods.

Groups, Payments and Attachment Menu
• Bots can now process join requests created without an invite link – they will still receive a chat_join_request update.
• HTTP links for invoices can be generated with the new createInvoiceLink method.
• Bots can now detect when a user added them to their attachment menu via the new added_to_attachment_menu field. Integrated bots can now also be used in groups, supergroups and channels.

• Check that your bot's webhook was set by you with the new secret_token parameter.

• And more, see the full changelog for details:

Warning: Only HTTPS links are now allowed in login_url.

Bot API 6.2

Custom Emoji
• Bots can identify custom emoji sent by Telegram Premium users via the new type "custom_emoji" and field custom_emoji_id added to the MessageEntity class.
• Added the method getCustomEmojiStickers to obtain information about specific emoji.
• Added the fields type and custom_emoji_id to the Sticker class.
• Added sticker_type as a new field for StickerSet and as a new parameter for createNewStickerSet.

Web Apps
• Implemented support for native dialog windows including alerts, popups with custom buttons and confirmation messages.
• A confirmation dialog can now be shown when users close the web app. The dialog can be toggled via the enableClosingConfirmation and disableClosingConfirmation functions.
• Added the field is_premium to the WebAppUser class — the standard User class already included this field, see version 6.1.

• Added has_restricted_voice_and_video_messages to the Chat class to support the new premium setting.

• And more, see the full changelog for details:

Note: The documentation for createNewStickerSet and StickerSet no longer mentions the contains_masks parameter and field respectively. In both instances, contains_masks will continue to work for backward compatibility but developers should use sticker_type instead.
