Hello!

This channel will consist of on-the-fly behind-the-scenes updates on Telegram X, real-time automatic build process updates, informal developer comments, and built APK files.

If you look for something fancy and less geeky, subscribe to @tgx_android — it has much less frequent announcements.

You can always verify whether an APK you downloaded is official (and not malformed by any third-party) by sending whatever checksum (MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-256) to @tgx_bot.

You can also use @tgx_bot to verify APK files downloaded from anywhere else. Note that this bot knows hashes only for 0.23.10.1414 version and higher (but in future it might start recognising the older ones).

TLDR: this channel is made just for fun.

So, let's build and deploy the very first beta using dozens of upgrades and build system changes. What could go wrong.

And.. No. Decided to fix one more bug and postpone deploying until tomorrow.
