"Tediousness overdrive" is out for your consumption.
The main features of this release are absolutely no new or exciting features, just bug fixes, minor improvements, and workarounds for broken operating systems, especially the one from the company that shouldn't be legally allowed to make operating systems.
It's also so far this years record holder for the most soul sucking, boredom inducing and tedious development cycle, developer burnout potential included.
For the next release and next months i'll try to concentrate on fun and exciting work for PTB in general and PTB on Linux specifically only, no bug fixes and tedious OSX or Windows stuff unless they are absolutely critical on any OS, or at least of medium importance on Linux. Non critical bugs should be filed to our GitHub issue reporter, so they don't get lost if they have to wait a couple of months.
