+### Fixes, patches and changes

+- Telegram sign-in by QR code: scan it with Telegram on a phone that is already signed in (Settings, Devices, Link Desktop Device), with no phone number or code; the code is renewed as Telegram says, an account kept in another datacenter is followed there, and a cloud password is asked for after the scan ([moho `b481fb8`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/b481fb8), [nobilis `430e89f`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/430e89f))
+- Telegram chat folders are the categories of the account's page, kept in step both ways: a folder made, renamed, deleted or put in another order on Telegram turns up as the category, and the same done to a category here is done on Telegram, including filing a conversation by dragging it (a category becomes a folder when its first conversation is filed in, since Telegram keeps no empty folder) ([moho `b481fb8`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/b481fb8), [nobilis `430e89f`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/430e89f), [nobilis `c9c98de`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/c9c98de))
+- Telegram stickers can be sent, from the Stickers tab (recent, favourites and the installed packs); a group's bots offer their commands in the slash menu, written as `/command@bot` where two bots share a name; and a topic's own unread and mention counts start its badge ([moho `b481fb8`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/b481fb8), [nobilis `430e89f`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/430e89f))
+- Telegram links open in moho: moho takes over `tg://` links, which is what the "View in Telegram" button on a post's web page opens, and a t.me link in a message goes to the chat and the post, joining the channel if the account is not in it ([moho `b6b308d`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/b6b308d), [nobilis `64a13fa`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/64a13fa))
+- Discord is held back further from what gets an account flagged: no request after a 401 or three refusals on a route, a captcha closes its place instead of being answered, the server's own rules (verification level, onboarding, timeout, slowmode) are checked before a send, a direct message needs five of the account's own messages from Discord's own apps first and an empty channel is not written into first, history is asked once, uploads go in two steps as the official client does, one message at a time is sent to a channel, and the login is the official shape with the gateway stream compressed ([moho `5776ca8`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/5776ca8), [nobilis `3557335`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/3557335), [nobilis `2638938`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/2638938))
+- The message box of a Discord server is closed while the green new-member badge shows by your name there (taken to be the first week after joining), since what is sent from another client in that time is treated as spam; it opens again by itself ([moho `5f10ae6`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/5f10ae6), [nobilis `b1862bb`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/b1862bb))
+
+## [1.3.2]
+
+### Fixes, patches and changes
+
+- Discord is asked for less and more politely, after what Dissent does to avoid being flagged as a third-party client: reads wait out a rate limit and let an empty bucket refill instead of treating a refusal as an answer; no history is fetched at login (a conversation is read the first time it is opened, 30 messages); a member list is subscribed to once a connection and no longer again at every join and leave; our own membership of each server comes from login and is not asked for; a read mark is sent only while the window is in front, never for a conversation whose last word is yours, and not again after another device sent it; text Discord would refuse (over 2,000 characters, 4,000 with Nitro, or empty) is refused before it is sent; the login declares the capabilities of a user client; the first reconnect wait is four seconds ([moho `74f2c47`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/74f2c47), [nobilis `7943767`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/7943767))
+- The typing notice to Discord is off unless you turn it on in Settings > Discord, and adding a Discord account says plainly that third-party clients are against Discord's terms and what moho does about that ([moho `74f2c47`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/74f2c47))
+- A reply's quote, in the line over a reply and in the bar over the box, draws what it quotes - emotes, emoji and stickers as pictures instead of their codes - on every service ([moho `df818a1`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/df818a1))
+
+## [1.3.1]
+
+### Fixes, patches and changes
+
+- Discord is not spoken to first from here: a server where your account has not said anything since it joined, and a conversation with nothing in it, are locked with a note to send the first message from Discord's own app or website, after Discord flagged accounts for exactly that. Whether you have spoken is looked for in what moho keeps and then in Discord's search (one request a server, remembered), the lock lifts by itself once there is a message of yours there, and a message sent from moho does not count ([moho `b04189a`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/b04189a), [nobilis `b9a79e4`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/b9a79e4))
+- Discord messages carry a nonce and an explicit list of who may be mentioned, as Discord's own clients send them; a file is checked against what the account may upload before any of it is sent, and waits a few seconds after a message instead of following straight on ([moho `b04189a`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/b04189a), [nobilis `b9a79e4`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/b9a79e4))
+- Taking bold, italic, underline or strikethrough off all of the message box (select all, then the same button or key) works, and undo and redo step over formatting and leave the selection where it was ([moho `5b438be`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/5b438be))
+
+## [1.3.0]
+
+### Major features
+
+- **Telegram, ported:** your chats, groups, channels and bots in the same window as everything else. Sign in with your phone number, the code Telegram sends and your two-step password if you have one, using your own API id and hash from my.telegram.org (one is enough for every client you use); the session is kept, so a restart does not sign in again.
+- **Telegram conversations:** private chats and bots as direct messages, groups and supergroups on the server rail like Discord's servers, channels with their posts, and a group's forum topics as conversations of their own. A horn marks a broadcast channel and a robot a bot. History loads as you scroll, new messages, edits and deletions arrive live, and messages you send, edit and delete go out the same way.
+- **Telegram messages:** formatting, replies (with the quote shown above and a click to the original, even in another channel), forwards with a link back to where they came from, pictures, videos, files and voice messages drawn as they arrive and fetched when played, link cards, and Instant View articles opened in a window of their own.
+- **Telegram on top of the chat:** reactions, pinned messages, polls (voting and making them), search, comments and thread counts on channel posts, a member list with moderation where you have the rights, muting, joining by link, and the GIF picker with your saved GIFs and Telegram's own search.
+- **Telegram bots:** a bot's inline buttons are drawn under its message and pressed from the window, and the Menu button opens the bot's own command list.
+- **Discord stays signed in:** a restart within a couple of minutes resumes the session Discord is already holding instead of logging in again, only the conversations that have something new are asked about, and a limit on fresh logins (3 an hour, 8 a day) holds the connection and says why, with a Connect anyway button when you mean it.
+- **One video player on every service:** play, seek, a volume slider that opens on hover, elapsed or remaining time, speed, full screen, save, and edit on your own messages.
+
+### Fixes, patches and changes
+
+- Select text in a message or in the message box, right-click it and search the web for it, in your default browser, with the engine chosen in Settings > General: DuckDuckGo, Google, Bing, Brave Search, Startpage, Ecosia, Qwant, Yandex, Kagi, or an address of your own ([moho `4233439`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/4233439))
+- Formatting in the message box can be taken off again with the same button or key, over a whole run, part of one or a mixed selection, and undo and redo step over each change and leave the selection where it was ([moho `496d18f`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/496d18f))
+- Discord sends this install's id, language and timezone with its requests, as its own clients do; it still says it is moho ([moho `3a6c8da`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/3a6c8da), [nobilis `3bf68e7`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/3bf68e7))
+- Discord resumes its session after a restart, asks only about conversations that moved on, posts typing at most every eight seconds and does not repeat a read mark ([moho `ab8f40f`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/ab8f40f), [nobilis `e8b25d9`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/e8b25d9))
+- Discord limits fresh logins per account, holds the connection when it is over, and lets you through with Connect anyway ([moho `59f978d`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/59f978d), [nobilis `8a7d733`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/8a7d733), [moho `8f62f44`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/8f62f44), [nobilis `58bf5ac`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/58bf5ac))
+- Discord's membership-screening dialog is drawn as Discord draws it, with the rules, the questions and the answers sent ([moho `23afcb6`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/23afcb6), [nobilis `63093e1`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/63093e1))
+- Discord messages made of layout components (containers, sections, text, pictures) are drawn as cards with their buttons ([moho `c64812c`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/c64812c), [nobilis `41c2780`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/41c2780))
+- Discord's APP mark on bots and applications, a check on verified ones, and OFFICIAL on the platform's own account and its messages; badges sit between the name and the time ([moho `2f4c204`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/2f4c204), [nobilis `dba7731`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/dba7731), [moho `510627f`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/510627f), [nobilis `5501675`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/nobilis/commit/5501675), [moho `5d2d0fe`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/5d2d0fe))
+- Discord: an emoji picked from another server's section goes in as its token and not the number that names it, and the hover toolbar and recent list no longer show bare numbers ([moho `9a86141`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/9a86141), [moho `f1bf63a`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/f1bf63a))
+- Discord reads a backslash before punctuation as an escape in messages, link previews and embed field values ([moho `eb549f7`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/eb549f7), [moho `a2a8949`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/a2a8949))
+- Videos go full screen by themselves on every service, filling the screen, with no second expand button and no viewer ([moho `bf5c33d`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/bf5c33d), [moho `1387907`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/1387907), [moho `aab10c7`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/aab10c7), [moho `72d5b83`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/72d5b83))
+- A left click on the tray icon puts the window away when it is showing and brings it back when it is not ([moho `4ebabb2`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/4ebabb2))
+- The GIF picker is offered only where a GIF link shows as a picture: not on Steam, Twitch, Sneedchat or IRC ([moho `40505af`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/40505af), [moho `7a2fda0`](https://github.com/Moho-Chat/moho/commit/7a2fda0))
