This release, I have no sprawling sentences of extravaganza to entertain your mind. Nevertheless, significant happenings abound! It was recently announced on the associated community discord server that Simon and myself will be working to re-shape that discord server into a broader community. In that announcement, you will find many wonderful words and phrases.

In addition to the changes described below, the list of contributors and commended users in /libertybans about was updated in this release.

Bug-fixes:

• Fix TooManyRowsException when punishing composite victim (#117)
• Solved a database performance regression in 1.0.0. This was identified by Franciscoyt94 (#136)

Features added:

• New French translation by zendrique (#134)
• New Norwegian translation by BeastyBoo (#121)

Please note, if you are on 0.8.1 and waiting for the 0.8.2 release, rest assured that 0.8.2 with its promised 1.x compatibility mode will still be released at some point. Such a compatibility mode requires a non-trivial amount of development effort. Moreover, we re-affirm the long-term support policy that 0.8.x will remain supported until at least 4 months since the availability of 0.8.2.
