Hey! Looks like you edited README.rst or README_RAW.rst. I'm just a friendly reminder to apply relevant changes to both of those files :)

[harshil21]

I wonder if we could've gotten away with the renaming by just overriding __(set/get)attr__ in TelegramObject to detect the usage of deprecated parameters
