I've updated the sources to 4.15.1, will publish them after the test build.
Since the version is already beyond 4.14, and I don’t want to create a branch for each version since it will bloat the repository, this branch will be called patches-track-wip .
Also, to reduce the size of the repository, I plan to reorganize the patches-track* branches.
— patches-track: TD 3.5.2 — patches-track-wip: TD 4.15.1 — patches-track-old, patches-track-4.8.4 and patches-track-4.14 will be deleted (or archived, if needed).
So if you need versions based on 4.1.1, 4.8.4 or 4.14.13, I advise you to fork these branches. Or if you want them to stay a little longer, let me know at @kotatochat.

Telegram has no known backdoors and, even though it is come in for criticism for using proprietary encryption methods instead of open-source ones, those have yet to be compromised. While no messaging app can guarantee a 100% impermeable defense against determined attackers, Telegram is vulnerabilities are few and either theoretical or based on spoof files fooling users into actively enabling an attack.
Telegram and Signal Havens for Right-Wing Extremists
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
