This is a minor release aimed at mostly fixing bugs and increasing stability.
This release bumps required Node.js version to at least 10.16.3 or higher.
We suggest updating to Node.js v12, which is the latest LTS version.
Feature wise, there are a couple of things that have been added.
If you reconnect to a network and the nick you want is in use,
The Lounge will now attempt to regain your original nick if it sees that nick quit the network.
The /join command will now prefix channel names if there is no prefix. For example,
you can execute /join thelounge, and client will automatically turn that into #thelounge
(first prefix from CHANTYPES is taken).
We have been working heavily on porting the client code base to the Vue.js framework,
and hope to have it ready for release soon™.
