[listeners]: Listeners are a new way to handle incoming user updates (messages, callbacks, etc.). They are more flexible, faster, and easier to use than handlers.
[filters]: Filters are now objects that can be combined using logical operators. They are more powerful and flexible than the previous filter system.
[handlers]: Now you can register handlers with decorators without the need to use the add_handler method.
[flows]: A new method FlowCompletion.get_media(types.Image, key="img") allows you to construct a media object and perform actions like .download() on it.
[flows]: Decrypt media directly from FlowRequest using .decrypt_media(key, index).
[client]: The client can run without a token but won’t allow API operations (only webhook listening).
[sent_message]: The SentMessage object returned by send_message, send_image, etc., contains the message ID and allows to act on the sent message with methods like reply_x, wait_for_x etc.

# my_handlers.py

from pywa import WhatsApp, filters, types, listeners

# You can register callback without th instance!
@WhatsApp.on_message(filters.text & filters.matches("store")) # combine filters with & operator
def store(_: WhatsApp, m: types.Message):
    try:
        age = m.reply("How old are you?", buttons=[types.Button("Cancel", "cancel")]).wait_for_reply( # wait for a reply
            filters=filters.text & filters.new(lambda _, m: m.text.isdigit()), # create a new filter
            cancelers=filters.callback_button & filters.matches("cancel"), # cancel the listener if the user clicks the cancel button
            timeout=10, # set a timeout
        )
        m.reply(f"Your age is {age.text}")
    except listeners.ListenerCanceled:
        m.reply("You cancelled the store")
    except listeners.ListenerTimeout:
        m.reply("You took too long to reply")
