thelounge/thelounge v4.2.0

v4.2.0 - 2020-08-20

on GitHub

For more details, see the full changelog and milestone.

This is a minor release with one significant new feature: a mentions panel!

Other notable additions include custom highlight exceptions, a new configuration option disableMediaPreview to not send preview requests for videos or audio files (and even images if prefetchStorage is disabled), and uploaded images will have EXIF data automatically removed.

There's also a new section for configuring SASL on the Connect screen, and SASL EXTERNAL is now supported.

Along with other bugs, a Chrome bug causing lag when typing has been fixed. Additionally, the node-sqlite3 dependency has been updated, and you no longer need to re-install The Lounge when you update Node.js.

And as an update for our Docker users, thelounge-docker now has support for ARM images; thanks @williamboman and @klausenbusk!
