• Added reaction bridging in both directions.
• Added automatic sending of hidden messages to primary device to prevent false-positive disconnection warnings if there have been no messages sent or received in >12 days.
• Added proper error message when WhatsApp rejects the connection due to the bridge being out of date.
• Added experimental provisioning API to list contacts/groups, start DMs and open group portals. Note that these APIs are subject to change at any time.
• Added option to always send "active" delivery receipts (two gray ticks), even if presence bridging is disabled. By default, WhatsApp web only sends those receipts when it's in the foreground (i.e. showing online status).
• Added option to send online presence on typing notifications (thanks to @abmantis in #452). This can be used to enable incoming typing notifications without enabling Matrix presence (WhatsApp only sends typing notifications if you're online).
• Added checks to prevent sharing the database with unrelated software.
• Exposed maximum database connection idle time and lifetime options.
• Fixed syncing group topics. To get topics into existing portals on Matrix, you can use !wa sync groups.
• Fixed sticker events on Matrix including a redundant msgtype field.
• Disabled file logging in Docker image by default.
  • To enable it, mount a directory for the logs that's writable for the user inside the container (1337 by default), then point the bridge at it using the logging -> directory field, and finally set file_name_format to something non-empty (the default is {{.Date}}-{{.Index}}.log).
