We've just released v22.7, bringing full support for API 9.4 & 9.5. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release. As usual, upgrade using pip install -U python-telegram-bot.The release notes can be found here.Personal message from @BiboJoshiWith this release, I am stepping down as maintainer and passing the torch to @Hoppingturtles and @Poolitzer, who have already been in charge of this release. For more than 6 years, I've had the pleasure of working on PTB and with the community. However, due to shifting personal circumstances, I no longer see myself in the position to lead the development of PTB. That is not to say that I no longer care about the project. On the contrary, I'm hoping to see it thrive. I wish all the best for the new maintainers and future team members and hope that the community supports them as it did me.python-telegram-bot
