- More improvements for running Telethon during a **long period of time**.

With the following bug fixes:
- **Avoid a certain crash on login** (occurred if an unexpected object ID was received).
- Avoid crashing with certain invalid UTF-8 strings.
- Avoid crashing on certain terminals by using known ASCII characters where possible.
- The `UpdatesThread` is now a daemon, and should cause less issues.

If you're one of those who runs Telethon for a long time (more than 30 minutes), this update by strayge will be great for you. It sends periodic pings to the Telegram servers so you don't get disconnected and you can still send and receive updates!

If you're one of those who love security the most, these are good news. You can now use two factor authentication with Telethon too! As internal changes, the coding style has been improved, and you can easily use custom session objects, and various little bugs have been fixed.

This release has no new major features. However, it contains some small changes that make using Telethon a little bit easier. Now those who have installed Telethon via `pip` can also take advantage of changes, such as less bugs, creating empty instances of `TLObjects`, specifying a timeout and more!

Telethon is now available as a **[Python package](https://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=Telethon)**! Those are really exciting news (except, sadly, the project structure had to change _a lot_ to be able to do that; but hopefully it won't need to change much more, any more!)

Not only that, but more improvements have also been made: you're now able to both **sign up** and **logout**, watch a pretty "Uploading/Downloading... x%" progress, and other minor changes which make using Telethon **easier**.
