## [0.7.2] -- 2020-06-12

### Highlights

- Reactions
  - React to a message with an emoji! 🎉

  - By clicking on that, others can add to the reaction count.
  - It may help you celebrating a new Nheko Release or react with a 👎 to a failed build to express your frustration.
  - This uses a new emoji picker. The picker will be improved in the near future (better scrolling, sections, favorites, recently used or similar) and then probably replace the current picker.
- Support for tagging rooms `[tag]`
  - Assign custom tags to rooms from the context menu in the room list.
  - This allows filtering rooms via the group list. This puts you in a focus mode showing only the selected tags.
  - You can assign multiple tags to group rooms however you like.
- SSO Login
  - With this you can now login on servers, that only provide SSO.
  - Just enter any mxid on the server. Nheko will figure out that you need to use SSO and redirect your browser to the login page.
  - Complete the login in your browser and Nheko should automatically log you in.
- Presence
  - Shows online status of the people you are talking to.
  - You can define a custom status message to tell others what you are currently up to.

- Improve the login and register masks a bit with hints and validation.
- Descriptions for settings (contributed by lkito)
