- Update to version 0.9.0:
  + Highlights
    - Somewhat stable end to end encryption
      * Show the room verification status
      * Configure Nheko to only send to verified users
      * Store the encryption keys securely in the OS-provided secrets service.
      * Support online keybackup as well as sharing historical session keys.
  + Crosssigning bootstrapping
    - Crosssigning is used to simplify the verification process. In this release
    - Nheko can setup crosssigning on a new account without having to use a
      different client.
    - Nheko now also prompts you, if there are any unverified devices and asks you to verify them.
  + Room directory (Manu)
    - Search for rooms on your server and other servers. (Prezu)
    - If their topic interests you and it has the right amount of members, join
    - the room and the discussion!
  + Custom sticker packs
    - Add a custom sticker picker, that allows you to send stickers from MSC2545.
    - Support creating new sticker (and emote) packs.
    - You can share packs in a room and enable them globally or just for that
      room.
  + Token authenticated registration (Callum)
    - Sign up with a token to servers, that have otherwise disabled registration.
    - This was done as part of GSoC and makes it easier to run private servers for
      your family and friends!
  + Features
    - Support email in registration (required on matrix.org for example)
    - Warn, if an @room would mention the whole room, because some people don't like that.
    - Support device removal as well as renaming. (Thulinma)
    - Show your devices without encryption support, when showing your profile.
      (Thulinma)

    - Support jdenticons as a placeholder for rooms or users without avatars.
      (LorenDB)

    - Support pulling out the sidebar to make it wider.
    - Allow editing pending messages instead of blocking until they are sent.
      (balsoft)
    - Support mnemonics in the context menus. (AppAraat)
    - Support TOFU for encryption. (Trust on first use)
