This version introduce much more technical and architectural improvements, introduces new mechanisms to implement your applications easier.
The road to this day was very difficult, it is started on Jun 29, 2019 (more than 4 years ago), at this time project experienced many challenges, as you may know, i'm (Alex) working on aiogram at my free time after job, so, the situation in the world affects how much free time to develop i have, we can remember 2020 as the start of the coronavirus pandemic which makes development slower, after that at 24 feb, 2022 russia invades into Ukraine, at this point the project could stop altogether, in fact, because of war there was a very long pause in the development, but after some time I started to find time and inspiration to develop the aiogram, and now we have this day - 1'st September 2023, public release of aiogram 3.0.
In case of all troubles, done less than the original 2019 I planned to do for this release, but enough to meet all current developer needs so welcome the update.
The development will not stop in the future, there are already plans for several upcoming updates (3.1-3.3) such as improving the work with the state machine, to simplify the implementation of interaction with users, and there are also basic ideas for version 4.0, plans for which will also be published in time.
You can install this version from pypi: pip install -U aiogram
Please note that this version has many critical changes, so you will need to read the migration FAQ before upgrading: https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/dev-3.x/migration_2_to_3.html
