A session manager was added, you can find it on the Profile page.
Minimal Go version requirement lifted to 1.22.
Bugs were fixed.

There was a critical bug regarding the newly added / hotkey. Rather than fixing it now, the hotkey was just deleted. Expect it to come back in a future release.
An experiment regarding dropping the C-language SQLite driver was conducted. Due to it taking too much memory during compilation, which is unacceptable for our use cases, the Go-language driver was dropped. Do not expect it to come back in a future release, CGO shall probably remain a requirement for the future.

bouncepaw worked on Fediverse support, the CLI options and the dark theme.
danilax86 worked on Random, the session manager, the / hotkey and the SQLite driver.
