What's new in 1.34.2?

1.34.2 is an improvement on top of 1.34.1, most notable change is that we fixed two critical IMAP connection issues, that resulted in problems receiving messages. Besides that here is what changed in 1.34.x:

⚡️ Smooth rendering. Much snappier scrolling. The new version is easy on your patience and is the result of a refactoring that took ore than a year (for our tech-savvy friends: we are now using JSON-RPC under the hood and threw away lots of old, annoying code :)
🧹 Clear chat history
🔍 Search for messages in chat
⏬ jump down button
🤗 Friendlier contact lists: ordered by last seen and contacts seen within 10 minutes are marked by a dot 🟢
🎛️ Tray icon is now enabled by default
🔔 when receiving multiple notifications at once, they will be grouped into one single notification
😀 right click to add sticker to the sticker selector
✨ Many smaller bug fixes and general improvements
