Kotatogram — experimental Telegram Desktop fork by @EricKotato.

Some of the fork features:
• Custom font selection
• Compact chat list and compact folders
• Custom sticker size
• Adaptive chat bubbles (ported from patch)
• and many more, maybe I'll make a full list later.

This channel is for new versions of fork, changelogs, maybe something more.

New versions could be found by build hashtags:
• #Windows: Portable Windows builds
• #WindowsInstaller: Installer Windows builds
• #Linux64: Linux 64-bit static builds
• #AppImage: Linux AppImage builds
• #macOS: experimental macOS builds

Top contributors:
• @Shlyupa — made lots of fixes (most of them for Linux), added AppImage and macOS builds, and much more.
• @ykkzde — supported kotatogram-desktop-bin AUR package earlier, and made new moustache that currently used in Kotatogram logo.
• @winqooq — translated Kotatogram into Ukrainian.

First release is out!
1.8.8-KTG1

Changes:

Mention user by name, even if username was set (right mouse click on mention suggestion).

Clickable links in user bios.

Custom font start options:
— -mainfont to set main font family (e.g. -mainfont "Open Sans").
— -semiboldfont to set semibold font family (-semiboldfont "Open Sans Semibold").
— -semiboldisbold - if you want set semibold font to be bold. If you pass Open Sans Bold to -semiboldfont, that won't work. You should use family name (e.g. -semiboldfont "Open Sans" -semiboldisbold)
— -monospacefont to set monospaced font (e.g. -monospacefont "Consolas")

You can set "Nobody" in profile photo privacy.

Minimum photo size in chat has been increased to 200px, so captions should be more readable.

Maximum sticker size in chat has been decreased to 128px.

Maximum caption field height has been increased to 150px (should fit about 5 lines).

Allow interface scales 75-99 to be saved after restarting without start option.

Linux build should release today or tomorrow, if no accidents will happen. Currently all required dependencies has been built, but TDesktop bulid could be long by itself, so no promises for today.

Unfortunately, Linux build has to wait some more. VirtualBox with Ubuntu doesn't want to build TDesktop, so I need to search for other solution. Linux build is still planned though.

Also, I've connected Travis CI and Appveyor to repo. This could help me if I'll want to test if app builds app or not.

It's close. There is already a debug build, but it weights 1.8 GB, so it's better to wait for release one.

For now I'm not planning 32-bit builds, but they could be built in future if needed.

Since there are no requests, I'll build only Windows and 64-bit Linux for now.

I'm planning to make autoupdates in next build, so it will be faster for you to update. Stay tuned.

It's close.

Autoupdater ready!
1.0 (based on TD 1.8.9)

Changes:

Automatic updates. Now you don't have to redownload every build and replace executable.

Some fixes for photo and sticker sizes. Now they are resized only in chat.
