In apps mode, through the context menu, you can set an app to launch as a tab, pinned tab, window, or in full screen view if the app supports it. You can also set app shortcuts.
- Made history, bookmarks, and management (apps/extensions) permissions optional. This means when first installing TM5K, it will ask you if you want to enable the permissions before the modes using them are accessible.

- Refactored the code so the child components are more stateless, allowing the extension to perform faster.
- Close all tabs context menu option now is only available in tab view mode.
- Added favicon caching for tabs and sessions. Before, everytime you loaded a New Tab page, it would send an HTTP request to every website for the URL to its favicon file. Now, TM5K will only download the favicons once for each domain, and cache it in Chrome storage.
- Added a loading indicator to the top bar for queries and favicon caching.
- Changed the top bar and side bar to a fixed position, so when you scroll down, all of the extension options are readily available.
- Changed the tile limit behavior from hiding tiles, to preventing their rendering. This increases the performance of TM5K when hundreds of tiles are being loaded in history, bookmarks, and session grid views.

- History, Bookmarks, and Session grid views have a noticeable lag when updates occur when hundreds of items are being queried from Chrome.
- Tab tiles will sometimes stop capturing screenshots in a Chrome window containing a New Tab page when tabs are being activated in another Chrome window.
- Switching between tabs quickly can cause tab tiles to capture an image of the New Tab page.
- Tab tile screenshots occassionaly do not render on initialization.
- The undo tab action functionality can lose track of tab action history occassionally.
- Added a session synchronization feature. Enabling this allows you to keep a saved session persistently up to date with the current Chrome window. After enabling the option in Preferences, click the circle icon on a saved session to sync it to the current session. Be advised, enabling synchronization on old sessions will overwrite them, so be sure to back up your saved sessions first.
- Draggable tab tile re-ordering has been overhauled, and now moves tiles more quickly, and doesn't trigger React's invariant violation errors. Pinned tiles can now be dragged from the grid as well. It is no longer an experimental feature, and is now enabled by default.
- Added an undo tab action feature. You can undo tab opening, closing, muting, pinning, and moving through the right-click context menu or by pressing CTRL+Z while a New Tab is open.

- Fixed the blacklist not updating.

- Added a CSS loading indicator during New Tab initialization.
- Fixed tab switching not working when clicking tiles that were recently unpinned from the grid.
- Open tabs are now displayed first in Bookmarks view.
- Fixed the session manager sometimes displaying history/bookmarks as current session data.
- Fixed Apply button in the sidebar not applying the correct tab order.
- Fixed Bookmarks and History views not updating when bookmarks and history change.

- Changed CSS of modal control buttons.
- A modal will trigger after 30 days from the initial install date asking for a contribution. This can be delayed another 30 days or disabled.

- The Settings modal can now be maximized.
- Tile grid column width is full width again when the sidebar is disabled.
- More optimizations have been made to make the extension perform faster.
- Screenshot images are now encoded with JPEG compression at 10% quality, and resized to further shrink the disk usage foot print.

- Fixed some asynchronous issues with retrieving preferences data from Chrome.
- Fixed flickering rendering while dragging tab tiles.
- The option to bundle screenshot data with session data has been removed because exporting those saved sessions as JSON causes the extension to crash.
- In the expanded session view in the session manager, you can now open and remove individual tabs in a saved session.
- Added a Label button to saved sessions in the session manager. It will allow you to name your tab session, so it easy to refer to later.
- Miscellaneous code refactoring and new tools being used have improved performance. The file size of the extension has been reduced.
- Fixed two new tabs being able to stay open in the same window while tab screenshots are enabled.
- Fixed a bug that prevents the website blacklist from being cleared.

- Removed the blue outline around form fields when they are focused.
- Added a toggle button to the left of the top search field which now toggles the Sort Tabs column. The state of its display is stored in Chrome.

- There is now an optional setting which enables full-size tab screenshots to fill the background of the New Tab page, while you are hovering over a tab with a screenshot. Screenshots are blurred and blended into the background. Screenshot capturing must be enabled for this to work.

- Fixed the width of the initial install button at the top.
- Improved handling of errors during screenshot capturing.
