In short: goal ​for this release was to provide better performance — speed along with lower memory usage. This is accomplished by better thumbnail capturing (like type grouping) ​and dynamic ​on demand limit­ed scaling. Also regen behaviour was changed — it will be better ​in the future — but ​for now, changes are not portray­ed dynamic­ally during window resize ​and are applied after resizing stops (columns recalculating is made after move end).

Beside, basic skin frontend was add­ed — but it is current­ly limit­ed to only inbuilt settings. More featur­es will be implement­ed ​in next release as this was not a goal ​for now.
