+- QR codes can now be scanned from desktop as you know it from Android/iOS. Try
+  it out by clicking on Menu -> Scan QR code. Besides using any available webcam,
+  you can also scan a qr code by importing a picture of it. This way we can 
+  finally join verified groups from desktop!
+- Support for openpgp4fpr urls. They allow you to do the same things as with qr
+  codes, but the information is baked into an url. Wanna try it out? Try to
+  login to our support forum (https://support.delta.chat) with DeltaChat and the
+  "Manual link" option :)
+- You can now pin chats. This will make sure they stay on the top of your list
+  of chats.
+- It's now possible to change the name of a contact in the same way as it's with
+  changing the name of a group.
