telegramR 0.0.2

  • Removed unused sample video files from inst/extdata, shrinking the source tarball to ~3.4Mb (under CRAN’s 5Mb guideline).

  • Exported TelegramClient, the high-level client class, so TelegramClient$new() works after library(telegramR) (its @export had been in a comment that roxygen ignored, leaving it inaccessible).

  • Synced the bundled ‘Telegram’ TL schema to layer 229 and regenerated all TL type and request classes, fixing dialog and message parsing against current ‘Telegram’ servers.

  • Reworked the schema code-generation tooling in data-raw/ entirely in R (generate_tl.R, overwrite_stale.R, dedupe_types.R, emit_missing.R, and the regenerate.R pipeline), replacing the previous scripts. The pipeline is idempotent and documents every generated class with roxygen.

  • Fixed serialisation of 64-bit integers and byte fields, and the send-media chain.

  • Fixed the asynchronous test helpers to resolve promises objects, and a latent unqualified openssl::rand_bytes() call in the obfuscated transport.
