@Badiboy happy new year
finished I think, but messed up some stuff (need thorough review) and had to fix conflicts, hopefully nothing was impacted
skipped updating docstrings in places like 'supported ...'

Got it... Will work on, but bot so fast.

[coder2020official]

Done, just one concern left - what did you mean when you said message_thread_id needed processing in de_json? Check my comments above
