Btw just noticed, @luke-jr contribution is the wrong number, this is the correct one: #435

Actually now that I look at all of them closer, there's many mistakes.

For example "Fix room name case sensitivity UI issue" and "Remove redundant help button from dialogs", both point to #403, wouldn't it make more sense to point to the commits 69621ee and 0b8c2dd?

[Et0h]

@powerjungle Thanks for reporting these issues - they've been corrected in the final changelog. If you know of any outstanding mistakes then feel free to report them here.

[powerjungle]

Thank you for working it out! The final release looks good so far.

[luke-jr]

Deprecating offset is a mistake ;)

I probably won't be upgrading if it gets removed.
