## New Features
+Despite me saying after every release that it is mostly feature complete; new **Rofi**, new features.
+However these new features are mostly to improve current functionality and debugging.
+Below the 4 most important ones.

To accomplish this, now all matching is done using *GRegex*, as this returns the exact location in the string of each match.
+While I don't see a direct use, it is something a lot of other *quick search* tools provide, so **Rofi** could not stay
+behind.
## Multiline Select
-While already existing, we now improved the multi-line select in **dmenu** mode. It will allow you to select and unselect rows, selected rows are highlighted with a dot and a small counter indicated the amount of rows selected.

+This should help debugging recent bugs, where people had an invalid `pid` path set in the configuration file.
+Additionally if you dump the configuration, for using on another pc, it will comment the options that are set to their
+default value. (So f.e. pidfile location won't be overriden).

## Bug Fixes
+As no tool is without bugs, and **Rofi** not being the exception, we did manage to squash a few.
-* Fix current desktop window selector
-* Fix launching application in terminal
+* Fix current desktop window selector.

* Fix rofi on 30bit 10 bit per channel display.
