New version is out!
1.2.2 (TD 2.0.1)

For starters, there is new folder option: Hide "All chats" folder. Pretty obvious on what it does, and not actually obvious on how to open it in that case, so I'll explain.
• If "All chats" is default folder, you can press Escape when chat closed.
• If you haven't set custom hotkeys, you can use Ctrl+1 to open "All chats" folder.
• You can also set folder_all shortcut in tdata/shortcuts-custom.json.

About the last one. In TDesktop 2.0.1 changed default hotkeys: folders are switching on Ctrl+number instead of Ctrl+Shift+number. Pinned chats now opened only if there is no corresponding folder. After the update I've noticed that some wanted to return old behaviour. And I actually could add an option, but instead of dealing with unstable key logic and creating more switches I've decided to go other way: add new custom hotkeys.

• pinned_1 — pinned_5: pinned chats.
• folder_all: "All chats" folder.
• folder_1 — folder_6: folders.
• folder_last: last folder in the list.
• folder_next and folder_previous: folder navigation.

If you want to return old behaviour, but you're lazy to set it youself, you can take this config file from GitHub Gist, and put into tdata profile folder. Don't forget to restart the app for hotkey settings to take effect.

Also you can open this folder fast by opening Kotatogram Settings and selecting "Show custom settings" in three-dots menu

Some little things
• Options count is growing, but worst growing is per-section. So that's why I moved some settings of "Chats" section to "Messages" section: sticker height, adaptive bubbles, big emoji outline.
• When you change folder settings with opened folder, panel incorrectly showed current folder. I fixed it.

And yeah, almost forgot. Thanks to @IlyaFedin there a now AppImage build. I have troubles with keyboard layout though, and updates are manual for now, but if you want to test, they are published under #AppImage.

Folder icons

In case you didn't knew, folder icons are stored as normal emojis. Theoretically it opens possibilities to add additional icons, limited to Emoji standard. But Emoji is a massive standard, and many emoticons from it won't fit as folder icons.

So before checking this theory, I'd like to hear from you, which icons do you want to see or which icons do you need most?

Alright, bad news.

Sadly, custom folder icons aren't saved on server: request sends an icon, but it's empty in server's response.

That's how could look icon list. Blur would've been fixed in release build, but there is no point now.

Maybe I'll find some use for icons though: there is planned local filters feature. Just don't ask, when. I can answer that I'm not planning it in next release.

1.3 (TD 2.1)

Control branches haven't proved themselves helpful, so I won't do them anymore. Instead I've decided to make a refactor, separating fork functionality from base client. In theory it should help me supporting fork in the long run.

Initially I thought to start refactoring after release, but since original client's release was late, I've made some things in this direction.

Let's move to changes.

• "Discuss" button in channel now available for everyone, even for those who aren't subscribed.
• When unpinning message, you can now hide it for yourself instead.
• Sticker packs now have drop-down menu. For now there are two items: "Copy name" and "Share stickers", but I'm planning to make it bigger eventually.
• Links to chats with username now support query parameter, that opens search by chat along with opening the chat itself. Examples: t.me/kotatogram?query=#Windows, tg://resolve?domain=kotatogram&query=#Linux64
• Search for user's messages in chat member context menu or message context menu in group.
• You can now select and copy text in link open confirmation or viewing bot message by button.
• Poll explanation has these features too, and shown in the box instead of tooltip.
• And as the last one, two options that were only in JSON, now available in menu: "Profile photo rounding" and "Tray icon".

As an additon to changes, this version has fixes.

• Font settings are now resetting correctly.
• Working dir path in tray now uses correct OS separators.
• Open Sans height now uses metrics from bundled font. Also, "Original font height" option now renamed to "Use Open Sans height".
• Fixed unnecessary switches to default folder. It happened when you pin or reorder pins in folder. Also it was messing up sorting of pinned chats. If you haven't catched this bug, you can consider yourself lucky, because I was annoyed a lot by it.

By the way, @IlyaFedin made numerous changes to the #AppImage, fixing compatibility with Ubuntu 14.04, autostart, adding autoupdate and much more.

1.3.1 (TD 2.1)

This bug has been reported everywhere: English chat, Russian chat, PM, GitHub... Well, I fixed it. Yes, I'm talking about folder names.

Actually, there are more fixes:
• Guessing game with "Disable edit by Up key" has been removed, one of them was "Always show scheduled". If you guessed it, your prize is this bugfix. If not, bug is fixed anyway.
• If you're using "Use Open Sans height" option, then you could notice that shifting of input fields should be lower. I was hoping to fix it completely, but I made only partial fix, since this version must be shipped ASAP.

1.3.3 (TD 2.1.1)

Minor version, which updates official app sources to 2.1.1.

By the way, two patches were moved to official app:
• Bot message privacy status in group member list.
• "Subscribers" instead of "members" in channels.

Also TDesktop 2.1.1 now have custom shortcuts for folders, but with changed names. Old shortcuts-custom.json commands should work fine, but it's recommended to update to use TDesktop ones to increase compatibility.

Changed commands
• folder_1..folder_6 -> folder1..folder6
• folder_all -> all_chats
• folder_last -> last_folder
• folder_next -> next_folder
• folder_previous -> previous_folder

If you're using my gist for old hotkey behavior, it's now updated to reflect these changes.

But where is 1.3.2?
1.3.2 had severe bug that caused crash if you hide "All chats" folder. 1.3.3 fixed it, but I had to delay the release because of it.

A little poll before the release.

TDesktop 2.1.2 has decreased sticker size from 256 to 228 pixels. This causes problems with height changing option like increased gaps. There are two ways to solve it:

1. Cut the part of the option, making 228 as maximum value. In this case highest value will be equal to official app's value.
2. Add option "Apply to sticker width", which will scale sticker width along with sticker height.

Question is not about this, as you could think, because it's clear that I would add an option. Question is: should this option be default? Of course, you can disable it at any time.
