2026-03-18 — Large Group Send Handling

• Increased message-send timeout to better support large WhatsApp groups and community chats.
• Added group_prekey_timeout so clients can distinguish large-group encryption/prekey delays from generic failures.
• Added group_posting_restricted so clients can stop retrying when group settings/admin policy block posting.
• Documented recommended client behavior: use longer HTTP timeouts for send requests and retry large-group timeout errors with backoff.
• Verified production delivery to a 1,465-member group after the timeout adjustment.

2026-01-01 — Happy New Year!

• Started hacking for fun, now it’s “welp, guess we’re enterprise” because momentum is a thing.
• Bearer token or bust: create device, slap a QR, blast messages — caffeine-powered and overbuilt.
• Webhooks whisper: typing, logout, reconnect cues — zero polling, zero regrets.
• Media on a diet: stash what’s needed, self-declutter later; storage zen without the ops saga.
• Docs wear noindex armor, links are absolute so nobody rage-quits navigation.
• MCP shows up? Cool—flat endpoints, clear payloads, scripting feels like cheating.
• AI in the corner like a sparring buddy: “ship fast and furious, but hey, wear your safety belt.”
• Budget lean, quality thick: maximum overkill, minimum invoices. Bean counters approved.
• QR rules laid out so we don’t summon chaos gremlins: disconnect beats destroy when you want reuse.
• Sanny Gaddafi cameo: his harmless shenanigans — a quick wink for anyone reading.
• Changelog doubles as a vibe check: 2026 is the year tinkering accidentally became a business plan.
