### Highlights
- Reactions
- React to a message with an emoji! 🎉
- Reactions are shown below a message in a small bubble with a counter.
- By clicking on that, others can add to the reaction count.
- It may help you celebrating a new Nheko Release or react with a 👎 to a failed build to express your frustration.
- This uses a new emoji picker. The picker will be improved in the near future (better scrolling, sections, favorites, recently used or similar) and then probably replace the current picker.
- Support for tagging rooms `[tag]`
- Assign custom tags to rooms from the context menu in the room list.
- This allows filtering rooms via the group list. This puts you in a focus mode showing only the selected tags.
- You can assign multiple tags to group rooms however you like.
- SSO Login
- With this you can now login on servers, that only provide SSO.
- Just enter any mxid on the server. Nheko will figure out that you need to use SSO and redirect your browser to the login page.
- Complete the login in your browser and Nheko should automatically log you in.
