    Release: v0.9.0
    v0.9.0
    
    Highlights

      - Store the encryption keys securely in the OS-provided secrets service.

         Nheko can setup crosssigning on a new account without having to use a
         different client.
      - Nheko now also prompts you, if there are any unverified devices and asks you to verify them.

      - Search for rooms on your server and other servers. (Prezu)

          room.
    - Token authenticated registration (Callum)
      - Sign up with a token to servers, that have otherwise disabled registration.
      - This was done as part of GSoC and makes it easier to run private servers for
          your family and friends!
