If updating is not an option, it can be useful to print a warning, that a local version of library, that can be not up-to-date, is used.

As an example there is no support for video stickers as they were included only half a year ago: https://t.me/telegram/168

system_library = ctypes.util.find_library("libtdjson")

This will never find system wide library. It will look liblibtdjson.so. You need to change it to

system_library = ctypes.util.find_library("tdjson")

Hi! Thanks for reporting and the PR, there is indeed a bug in find_library.

Releasing python-telegram with a newer tdlib version isn't a problem, I will do that. Meanwhile, as a workaround you can also specify the path to the library directly: Telegram(library_path='...')

Released 0.16.0 with your change and tdlib v1.8.5. Thanks!
