IS TELEGRAM S DEAD?

[Ecron]

I've followed the development of Telegram N (Official client) and Telegram S (this one) since early this year, and I thought both projects got abandoned by their respective developers, but some weeks ago @DrKLO updated Telegram N's dev branch and now we have the new update (version 1.5.4) ready to use in the Market.

I thought @ex3ndr will do the same and users of Telegram S (me included) would get some update, but I really don't see any movement here since April, in none of the different branches.

So, my question is: Is Telegram S' development dead? Or is @ex3ndr taking his time to release a big update? Is it gonna be continued?

I think everyone here involved with this project is asking himself that question as well. So, what's gonna be?

The possible answers leads me to some new questions:

1. If Telegram S is not gonna be developed, is there any chance that community here takes the lead left by ex3ndr?
2. If Telegram S is going to receive updates, is there any way we can help in order to release the developers from some loads of work?

Thank you.

Yes, Telegram S branch is dead, use official one.
Sorry, guys, i tries hard, but team decided to end development of alternative version of Telegram.
Now i am working for another even more secure Instant Messaging system in another company.

Is there any chance that Github community here take the lead of this project?

Hello, we are using your telegram-api, the calls will continue working?

I received the following message when used the api:

Hello, xxx. This is to inform you that Telegram S-edition for Android is no longer supported and will be disabled soon. Please upgrade to a different app to continue using Telegram.

The official Telegram app for Android now supports broadcast lists, allows you to send multiple photos at once and has more reliable notifications.

You can download it here:

Thanks !

You should get your own API ID number. See more here: https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram#creating-your-telegram-application

Ok, I already have my id. The calls with the api will continue working, true?
Thanks for your answer, and more important for sharing the api :)

Have a nice day

I don't understand what you mean with "the calls with the api"... Do you refer to voice calls inside Telegram? That's not implemented in Telegram's API afaik...

[algmorca]

Hello Ecron, sorry for taking so long to reply. With calls I mean continue using the api, doing doRpcCall with TLRequestUsersGetFullUser, TLRequestMessagesGetDialogs, etc. for example :)

Thank you
