An update to `telegram-bot-lua` will be first!

The poll has been updated to include the options on the buttons themselves rather than a corresponding number.

In no particular order, here are the top 10 suggestions given in @mattataDev over the past few days:

1. statsroyale.com integration.
2. Don't delete command messages if the bot replies to it.
3. Link a Twitter timeline to a Telegram channel - like a live feed.
4. Enhance existing plugins (if this option is favoured then suggestions for the enhancements will be needed in @mattataDev).
5. Make /convert handle more units, rather than just currencies.
6. A command which allows you to delete the replied-to message and ban the replied-to user - i.e. "/delban".
7. trakt.tv integration.
8. @mentioning alert functionality, like @TagAlertBot.
9. A "Jew" detection plugin - which analyses the replied-to user's saved quotes and reviews their mattacoin balance for detecting typical "Jew-ing". This is intended as light humour, not to promote anti-semitic behaviour.
10. RSS feed integration - post updates from an RSS feed to a Telegram channel between regular intervals.

There are so many new things in this update that actually make a difference. I'm hoping to get it on GitHub by the end of the month!

As you can see, each message takes a mere fraction of a second to be processed, it's only the networking speed which causes any delay now.

I'll keep you posted and let you know when everything is done.

To put text on a new line, type it in one of the following formats:

Big news! mattata is now insanely fast! I managed to finally figure out everything that was making it lag. Nothing should slow it down now!

Just to clarify, the Lua patterns command (s/matches/substitution/) DOES in fact use Lua patterns! Sorry for the confusion, nyuszika7h.

I'm serious when I say you can ask as many as you like. It'll keep me busy! So far, I've answered all of them!

In the future I may produce "unlockable" features which are usable after you complete small tasks, such as following me on Twitter or solving a puzzle! I'm always looking for new ways to gather users 😁

If you're not already following me on Twitter, then you can do so here!

Expect some more major changes! The Telegram bot API v3.1 is out, so I'll be postponing the release of v25.0 until I've implemented some new features!

I will be away on 1st July and 2nd July so, if you need help with anything, I'm assigning @GingerPlusPlus and @LKD70 as the "temporary versions of me" for the weekend. If they can't help you with something or they're busy, then you will have to wait.

Also, updates are now stored in the self variable (only whilst they're being handled), so many more functions will have timely access to the update object without having to pass any extra parameters!

Also, mattata v25.0 will include a new comprehensive latency monitoring feature when configuration.debug is set to true!

The database got corrupted so everything will be restored back to the state it was in 7 days ago. If you've changed any plugins or settings in that time you will probably need to do that again. Sorry about that.

The memes may take time to render in the thumbnails because the API it uses doesn't seem to be on a very powerful server (https://memegen.link/)

Also users who have opted out of data collecting functionality will not be included in /statistics - their messages won't even be counted.

It appears that the /custom command is undocumented at the moment. Here's how you can use it.

/custom new #trigger text - The bot will respond with the given text whenever a message is sent beginning with the #trigger hashtag.
Example: /custom new #test Testing! 1... 2... 3! will make the bot respond with Testing! 1... 2... 3! everytime a message begins with #test.
To delete a custom command, use /custom del #trigger. Assuming the previous example was executed, you could delete the #test trigger by sending /custom del #test!

You can ask more than one question! I am around for the next hour to answer as many as possible - you can ask ANYTHING! There is no need to sign up for an account, and you will remain 100% anonymous unless you reveal any clues about your identity.

How did you become such a Jew?
I went to Elite Jew Training Camp when I was 7 and learned to steal thousands upon thousands of rice krispie cakes. My nose is now longer than my penis.
