Added:

Added different unread icons for highlights vs regular unread messages
Setting to change icons for unread messages and unread highlight messages
Setting to change server icon size
Setting to control spacing between messages in buffers
Ability to specific multiple themes which then gets picked randomly at launch
Notification indicator on sidebar menu for warning & error log messages
Ability to mark as read on buffer close only if scrolled to the bottom of the buffer (new default behavior)
/part, /topic, /mode, /kick, and /ctcp commands can have their target(s) argument skipped when it can be inferred from context (e.g. /topic will target the current channel by default when used in a channel buffer)
/cleartopic command to remove a channel's topic (will target the current channel by default when used in a channel buffer)
Ability to hide and theme kick server messages
Setting to control whether or not to restore on launch the panes that were open when Halloy last closed
Setting for split axis chosen as the shorter dimension of the focused pane (new default behavior)
Setting for split axis chosen as the shorter dimension of the largest splittable pane

Setting to hide the backlog divider when all messages in the buffer have been read
Setting to specify whether nickname highlighting is case sensitive
Setting to hide topic changes

Fixed:

Receiving files over DCC will no longer stall when sender stops accepting received receipts
Attempting to navigate to the next/previous unread buffer, when there is no such buffer, will no longer clear the buffer
Window position is now validated, preventing windows from opening on disconnected monitors
When kicked from a channel the kick message will be broadcast in the server buffer (which remains open) as well as in the channel history (which is closed on kick)
Preview images with large dimensions will not be displayed if larger than the allowed buffer size
Do not activate the mark as read buffer when blocked/hidden messages are unread in the buffer
Nickname highlighting is case insensitive by default (and uses the server's specified casemapping)
Nickname changes properly broadcast in all channels user is in
Page up/down behavior moves by consistent page length, and will no longer get stuck at the top of a buffer
file_transfer.save_directory is now affected by path substitutions (tilde expansion & relative path prefixing)
