  • 👀 For more details, see the full changelog and milestone.

    🚀 This is a minor release with one significant new feature: a mentions panel!

    🔧 Other notable additions include custom highlight exceptions, a new configuration option disableMediaPreview to not send preview requests for videos or audio files (and even images if prefetchStorage is disabled), and uploaded images will have EXIF data automatically removed.

    🔧 There's also a new section for configuring SASL on the Connect screen, and SASL EXTERNAL is now supported.

    ⚡️ Along with other bugs, a Chrome bug causing lag when typing has been fixed. Additionally, the node-sqlite3 dependency has been updated, and you no longer need to re-install The Lounge when you update Node.js.

    ⚡️ And as an update for our Docker users, thelounge-docker now has support for ARM images; thanks @williamboman and @klausenbusk!
