2.1.0

This release mainly includes small improvements and bug fixes.

Some highlights:

GIO launch

This version tries to launch a desktop applications using glib's built-in
launching method. This should improve launching of applications and should
handle multiple methods transparently.

Issue: #2275

FZF-V2

Milad Alizadeh added an improved of version of the fzf sorting method. This
should closer match fzf's FuzzyMatchV2 scorer. The sorter is called fzf-v2.

Wayland: click-to-exit

Click-to-exit is finally enabled in Wayland by default.
Due to the way it is implemented, it has some side-effects in multi-monitor setup: rofi windows will not spill into other screens but be cropped out.

Thanks to @benny-e for helping out with this feature!

Wayland: improved wayland window mode

Thanks to Lucas Ritzdorf the window mode for wayland has improved to closer
match the functionality offered by the X11 version. It adds 'accept-custom',
'window-command' and the 'close-on-delete' option.
