Alexey Klimenko and I checked it out on a test server and found that: * A new 64-bit user is unable to login with Telegram Desktop before v3.0.2 (beta version, was not packaged). * A 32-bit user with the old app do not see a new user, instead the one of them sees @UnsupportedUser64Bot, not real account. * An old user is unable to write to a new user, but a new one can. This is like simplex communication. * An old user can't distinguish different new users. They all write in the same dialog. * New users do not appear on contact list in the old app.
There may be other issues. But as for "stop working", I overestimated. Existing installations will continue to work but with degraded operability. There are two rather big commits which introduce 133 scheme layer with a fix for 64-bit UIDs. https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/commit/a6c98f4bb44c8a5f55f86ea80f932a5d0a8be1e3 https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/commit/e4e5c4a1d23a271dd2b38d6925917b50932191ad Unfortunately, they do not apply cleanly against versions currently in Ubuntu, 2.1.7 or 2.6.1. Adapting the patches will be a pretty difficult task with unreliable result. John Preston, an upstream author, suggested to do a full update of the package. I know Ubuntu has backports pocket for so huge updates. But it seems the backporting process is not started yet.
