Rose Update:

Rose now fully supports the bot API 5.5!

This means that you should now be fully equipped to fight spammers posting as anonymous channels.

In particular:
- Full support for anonymous channels.
- You can now /ban and /fban channels (and of course, unban them!).
- Antiflood, blocklists, and locks now all work as expected against channels. Note: Due to limitations of the bot API, bots cannot "kick" or "mute" channels. Therefore, Rose will ban channels instead, even if youve configured Rose to do otherwise.
- You can now /approve channels to allow them to speak in your group. This might be helpful for group admins who would like to speak as channels, but still want the anonchannel lock to be enabled!


Finally, Rose now knows Taiwanese ! A big thank you to everyone who contributed. Also updated all the existing strings.

Enjoy the update, and as usual, report any bugs in the support chat.
