Dear PTB community,

10 years ago today a cool guy named Leandro published the first release of the python-telegram-bot library to PyPI - only one day after making the first commit on GitHub. Since then, this library has made an incredible journey.

Over 230 contributors have worked on the code of the library in almost 3000 individual commits, bringing to live a full 151 releases. As the current development team, we are pround to be serving this library to you! With more than 150k dependents and almost 28k stars on GitHub, roughly 29 million monthly downloads, over 11k members in our support group and over 16k members in our channel we dare say that python-telegram-bot has grown to have a large and healthy user community. This makes us extremely happy and we are looking forward to creating new releases for your!

Thank you for choosing python-telegram-bot, for your continued support and for sticking with us - now and for the next 10 years!

Your
PTB Dev Team

Personal message from @BiboJoshi

With 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.
