This release adds some new features, fixes many issues, and includes various improvements for self-hosters.

Note that there might be breaking changes to the image API in this version; more precisely, the default port has been changed to 3762 and TLS support has been added on the client.

This release was originally scheduled for New Years Day; however, due to complications with Discord, it was delayed. Happy new year!
