+Further easing library usage (v0.17.4)
+======================================
+
+*Published at 2018/02/24*
+
+Some new things and patches that already deserved their own release.
+
+
+Additions
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- New ``pattern`` argument to ``NewMessage`` to easily filter messages.
+- New ``.get_participants()`` convenience method to get members from chats.
+- ``.send_message()`` now accepts a ``Message`` as the ``message`` parameter.
+- You can now ``.get_entity()`` through exact name match instead username.
+- Raise ``ProxyConnectionError`` instead looping forever so you can
+  ``except`` it on your own code and behave accordingly.
+
+Bug fixes
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+- ``.parse_username`` would fail with ``www.`` or a trailing slash.
+- ``events.MessageChanged`` would fail with ``UpdateDeleteMessages``.
+- You can now send ``b'byte strings'`` directly as files again.
+- ``.send_file()`` was not respecting the original captions when passing
+  another message (or media) as the file.
+- Downloading media from a different data center would always log a warning
+  for the first time.
+
+Internal changes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+- Use ``req_pq_multi`` instead ``req_pq`` when generating ``auth_key``.
+- You can use ``.get_me(input_peer=True)`` if all you need is your self ID.
+- New addition to the interactive client example to show peer information.
+- Avoid special casing ``InputPeerSelf`` on some ``NewMessage`` events, so
+  you can always safely rely on ``.sender`` to get the right ID.
+
+
