- Radically improved navigation. New side panel on the right
with quick access to shared media and group members.
- Pinned Messages. If you are a channel admin, pin messages
to focus your subscribers' attention on important announcements.
- Also supported clearing history in supergroups and added
a host of minor improvements.
To be able to run on the same distributions as before we need to have
the same GLIBC version dependency as in Ubuntu 12.04, which is 2.15.
For that we need to remove all usages of GLIBC features from 2.16 and above.
Currently there are three methods used, so they're wrapped in a separate
static library, linux_glibc_wraps.
It is a separate library because it must be compiled without '-flto' flag,
otherwise the inline __asm__ is not working and we get unresolved symbols.
Regression was introduced in df64c97.
New base::flags work correctly only if all mutually exclusive flag
values use mutually exclusive bits (a & b == 0 for exclusive (a, b)).
Closes#3856.
