7.0

What's Changed

• Add TelegramMessage::escapeMarkdown by @alies-dev in #209

Breaking Changes

• TelegramFile::file() now strictly normalizes inputs to PSR-7 streams and rejects unsupported types earlier. Passing arbitrary values through to Guzzle is no longer allowed.

Added

• Laravel 13 support.
• New Telegram payload builders and fields:
  • businessConnectionId(), messageThreadId(), directMessagesTopicId()
  • protectContent(), allowPaidBroadcast(), messageEffectId()
  • replyParameters(), suggestedPostParameters()
• TelegramLocation enhancements: horizontalAccuracy(), livePeriod(), heading(), proximityAlertRadius().
• TelegramMessage: entities(), linkPreviewOptions().
• TelegramFile: captionEntities(), showCaptionAboveMedia().
• New builders: TelegramDice, TelegramMediaGroup.
• Low-level client helpers:
  • sendDice, sendMediaGroup, sendChatAction
  • editMessageText, editMessageCaption, editMessageMedia, editMessageReplyMarkup
  • stopPoll, deleteMessage, deleteMessages

Changed

• Minimum PHP version bumped to 8.3.
• Dropped Laravel 11 support.
• Codebase now enforces stricter typing (strict_types, improved PHPDoc shapes).
• Centralized response decoding via Telegram::decodeResponse() using Guzzle JSON utilities.
• Improved Telegram error parsing with safer fallbacks.
• Refactored:
  • TelegramChannel recipient resolution and response handling
  • TelegramFile upload handling (clear remote vs local distinction)
  • TelegramMessage chunked sending behavior
  • Shared media logic extracted to InteractsWithTelegramMedia
• onError() now accepts any callable.
• HasSharedLogic typing hardened; keyboard layouts normalized for invalid column counts.
• TelegramBase now accepts optional Telegram instance (better testability).
• TelegramUpdates::get() safely returns empty array on invalid responses.
• Config now supports both services.telegram.* and legacy keys.
