Telegem v3.4.0 is out – Bot API 9.6, Redis store, and looking back at 4.5 months of building

I started Telegem on December 20, 2025. I didn't plan to build a full Telegram framework. I just wanted something faster than telegram-bot-ruby , something that didn't block, something that felt right in Ruby. Today, I'm releasing v3.4.0 . What's New Bot API 9.6 full support – managed bots, polls overhaul, sendMessageDraft , and all the new update types. Redis session store – for horizontal scaling across multiple webhook instances. Translate plugin – built-in translation using the Lingva API. R
