TelegramClient is a Squeak-Client for the widely used Telegram-Messenger. It aims to provide features such as Authentication, Contacts, Message and Media sending and a minimal UI as well as as a Zen-mode and receiving messages in the background.

This Project is part of the "Softwaretechnik" Lecture 2020 at the Hasso Plattner Institute.

We currently only support Squeak 5.3.

Metacello new
	baseline: 'TelegramClient';
	repository: 'github://hpi-swa-teaching/TelegramClient/packages';
	load.

   1. Last compatible FFI version. For Squeak version 5.3 use Metacello new configuration: 'FFI'; load. to install it.

   3. Animations package GitHub.

2. Check our release page for an online installer in the form of a SAR file. Install this SAR file in your Squeak image.

The wiki has a lot of useful information for continuing the development of this project. Feel free to add new information to the wiki.

Pre-Releases are created automatically whenever a commit is added to the develop-branch. Releases should created before each client meeting and can simply be done by merging develop into master.
