Rose update! Telegram added buttons to their rich messages earlier this week - so naturally, Rose has been updated to support these too! As a reminder; to send a rich message, use the rich text editor (which you can open by selecting "article" in the attachements tab). Other new features: - Filters+blocklists now have improved matching logic when dealing with languages that don't rely on spaces to separate words, such as chinese and japanese. This should make Rose more accessible to all these …

Rose update! Telegram recently had a big update introducing rich messages; messages with enhanced formatting options. They then added a new rich message editor, which allows users to send and format their messages properly. This is all very cool; but the real beauty would be if they could be used in Rose. And now, they can! To save a rich message as a note or welcome, simply use the same commands you've always used; things just work. This was a pretty big change, so if you face any issues ju…

UPDATE: Seems to be responding normally again! Appreciate your patience! We are aware of @MissRose_bot not responding in certain instances (certain commands in groups / DMs). We appreciate your patience while we work to resolve the issues!

A bit different today - we have a @RoseClone_bot update! After telegram's recent addition of Managed Bots, I thought it only made sense for this to be integrated with the Rose Cloner. And while there, I figured it was high time for UI refresh to fit with telegram's standards! So, we now have: - A brand new UI for the cloning interface. - Support for using Telegram's managed bots, simplifying API token management for your bots. - And to round things up, I added two new bot types for the Rose Co…

Rose update! Following last week's update, we've had some feature requests of things people would like to see with bot-to-bot workflows and reactions. So, here we go: - A new outsidereaction lock, to stop people who aren't in your groups from reacting to messages in your groups. As soon as an outsider reacts, it just... gets removed. Easy! - A new advanced feature to control bot-to-bot interactions. This allows other bots (AI, automation, etc) to run Rose commands in a safe and controlled way. …

Rose update! With telegram's latest update, Rose now has some handy new features to take advantage of - so I've gone ahead and done exactly that! - Rose can now see and respond to messages sent by other bots. That's right - if a telegram bot is sending messages you don't want, Rose can now delete those messages. Similarly, other bots can now interact with Rose's notes - and if you add the {allow_bot} filling to Rose's filters, those will work too! - Add a new reaction lock type. You guessed it…

Hello everyone! Earlier today, we achieved something I never imagined would happen - Rose hit 1 billion users! 🎉 That's right - from the first few Marie users in 2017 (Rose's precursor), to releasing Rose in 2018, and then the next step of custom instances in 2024 - Rose has now officially interacted with over one billion total users. Thank you all for the feedback, feature requests, and bug reports - but most of all, thank you for using Rose and helping the project reach this stage! Excited …

Hello everyone! One of the overwhelming pieces of feedback i got after launching custom clones was that the price was too high. So, after a lot of behind-the-scenes action, I'm launching a new way to get your own custom Rose bot, at a significantly lower price point. Introducing Rose Core — your own branded bot for just $10/month. Everything you love about the free version, plus: ✓ Your own bot with custom name and picture ✓ Use across up to 5 groups ✓ Increased limits on filters, notes, and …

Hey everyone! 👋 A quick aside from the usual Rose updates, but bear with me! I'm the solo developer behind Rose, and I'm working on making the bot even better for group admins like you. I'd love to hear about your experience managing groups - what's working, what's frustrating, and what challenges you're facing. This will directly help me figure out what to focus on next! It only takes 2-3 minutes: https://forms.gle/JefZQ9zSFvQPqBLs5 edit: Closed, thank you for all the feedback! Thank you for…

Rose update! Telegram released their latest bot api version a few days ago - meaning we have some new features to play with! - You can now save Premium Emoji in Rose's messages! 🎉 - Buttons now support different styles - "primary", "danger" and "success". These are shown as blue, red, and green buttons, respectively. With this update, Rose now allows you to display these button styles by using the new buttonurl#<style> syntax. For example, you can set a green success button with: [A Button](but…

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays from the Rose team! ⛄️🎉 It's been a massive year for Rose, with the userbase growing at an unprecedented rate - we're nearing 1 billion total users! It brought along lots of new challenges with scaling and optimisations, but I'm excited by how we've handled each one. Have some interesting new features planned for next year, so looking forward to sharing more details once they're done! 😄🎉

Hi all, Two weeks since my last post about working on Rose's performance. Uneventful for Rose, but very eventful for me, as I've been hard at work adding new optimisations in the background to fix any bottlenecks that had creeped in! We now have: - a faster blocklist matcher - improved caching logic - tuned database/cache connections - and more to come; still have some things I'd like to mark as done! And all the changes have given me the opportunity to add some more performance metrics, so it'…

Hi all, My apologies for anyone who had Rose send unwanted error messages in their groups today. A recent configuration change to improve roses handling of telegram updates and improve stability caused Rose to hit a connection limit trying to connect to its cache - which was not the goal. I've now fixed the issue, and expect Rose to be working as usual again. I'm hopeful that these new changes will help avoid the delays that have been occurring over the last few days, and keep Rose snappy. Than…

Rose is having issues due to a network issue seems to be ongoing between telegram and hetzner, my server provider. It is unclear who is responsible between the two. We are investigating, but rose may be responding with delays. The issue seems to have resolved…

Rose is having issues due to a network issue seems to be ongoing between telegram and hetzner, my server provider. It is unclear who is responsible between the two. We are investigating, but rose may be responding with delays. The issue seems to have resolved itself, but I'll keep investigating with hetzner and telegram to see what can be done.

Hi all, Telegram seems to be having some issues again, showing a large spike of timeout errors. We're investigating, but ultimately it doesn't look like there's much we can do other than wait for telegram to recover. If you're using Rose in commercial groups, my best advice is to get a custom instance, as the dedicated bots will be much less subject to telegram's limits. Thank you for your patience! Telegram has recovered, everything should be fine again. I'm going to keep investigating to s…

Rose update! We're excited to add a new feature which we expect will be very helpful in fighting some common spam messages; namely, custom emoji blocklists! Similar to how you can already blocklist stickerpacks, you can now also blocklist emojipacks. To do this, simply reply to a message containing custom emoji, and use the /addblocklist emojipack:<> syntax. This will blocklist every custom emoji pack in that message, protecting you from further spam. Other updates: - Also added support for al…

Telegram has been experiencing some issues for the last few hours, causing delayed responses from Rose, due to the high load of users. We're monitoring and looking into possible solutions, but it looks like the issue is in telegrams end. If you're running a large monetised community, I can recommend getting a custom instance; these private clones of Rose won't have any issues with load! Rose has been running smoothly for the last hour - everything should be good to go again!

Rose update! - Added support for a new "checklist" lock, to delete checklists from telegram's latest update. - Updated cleanservice to handle the new checklist service messages. - Added support for a new "cashtags" lock, which deletes messages containing…

Rose update! - Added support for a new "checklist" lock, to delete checklists from telegram's latest update. - Updated cleanservice to handle the new checklist service messages. - Added support for a new "cashtags" lock, which deletes messages containing what telegram calls cashtags; they look like this: $CASH. - Improved the zalgo lock to avoid some edge cases when used with emoji - Improved blocklists to also match various similar characters, such as cyrillic letters which can be confused wit…
