Versions:
telegram-owl 1.4.0, released by Alexander Tebiev, is a lightweight command-line utility designed to relay text messages, documents, images, audio and video files from any Windows, macOS or Linux terminal directly into Telegram chats, groups or channels. Oriented toward DevOps, system administrators and developers who monitor scripts, CI pipelines, servers or IoT devices, the tool accepts piped stdin, file paths or simple positional arguments and pushes them through the Telegram Bot API with a single one-line command, eliminating the need for a graphical client. Typical use cases include dispatching build-status alerts, daily backup summaries, snapshot images from security cameras, logfile excerpts, or CSV reports into shared team channels; cron jobs can append timestamps and tags before each post, while PowerShell and bash wrappers can batch-notify dozens of channels in parallel. telegram-owl stores its bot token and default destination chat identifiers in a plain-text profile, supports SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies, and returns POSIX exit codes that scripts can test for success or retry logic. Since its first public commit the project has evolved through six numbered versions, progressively adding caption formatting, Markdown/HTML parsing, thumbnail generation, silent notifications and rate-throttling options, culminating in the current 1.4.0 build that refines Unicode handling and increases the maximum upload chunk for large media. The executable is distributed as a standalone binary with no runtime dependencies, making it suitable for containerized environments and minimal cloud images. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
