1.34.0

What's new in 1.34.0?

⚡️ Smooth rendering. Much snappier scrolling. The new version is easy on your patience and is the result of a refactoring that took ore than a year (for our tech-savvy friends: we are now using JSON-RPC under the hood and threw away lots of old, annoying code :)
🧹 Clear chat history
🔍 Search for messages in chat
⏬ jump down button
🤗 Friendlier contact lists: ordered by last seen and contacts seen within 10 minutes are marked by a dot 🟢
🎛️ Tray icon is now enabled by default
🔔 when receiving multiple notifications at once, they will be grouped into one single notification
😀 right click to add sticker to the sticker selector
✨ Many smaller bug fixes and general improvements
