Special thanks to @julian-alarcon for continuously supporting the snap version of this project and to anyone else that is supporting other package types.

Thanks also to @byteSamurai for introducing hacktoverfest. I manage to get a t-shirt and to get a few people on my team to also contribute.

Its been a long ride, and looks like Microsoft has heard us out loud, but until they got something working as stable as this, I will continue contributing.

Release notes partly done by Stamp.

Because #217, you need to clear you config folder before your 1st login (config folder locations). This is not necessary if you are moving from version 0.6.6 or higher.This release is been mostly concentrated on bug fixes and making this a bit more stable.<ul><li>Fix #220. Electron's getLocale, and Chromium's l10n_util, can return the language code in the IETF BCP 47 format (en-US) instead of the ISO 15897 format (en_US). Hunspell, the dictionaries included with this project, and the JavaScript code here assumes the ISO 15897 format, so this hotfix converts what getLocale returns. (#234) (97eb15f) Thanks to @pnickerson-cashstar</li><li>Add flatpak to configuration directory list (#232) (afbb725) Thanks to @agates</li><li>Fix #208.
