Secure chats username syntax secretly changed #1173

Open danielberlin opened 8 years ago

I send out messages to secure chats from command line via:

telegram-cli -W -e msg '!_user@123456 myMessage' -D

However, since 1.3.3, this doesn't work anymore. Output of this command is the same as with previous versions, but no message arrives.

> All done. Exit
halt

First test suggested that the quotation is not understand anymore, so I did: telegram-cli -W -e msg !_user@123456 myMessage -D – but bash doesn't like the exclamation mark and escaping it didn't help.

Apparently secret chat username syntax secretly changed to !_user_123456 omitting the @ now. Also not good, please document if possible.

I am unable to send messages to groups using telegram-cli -W -e msg chat#id. It was working until Tuesday

There is some way to send messages to groups?
