*** Commands, Controls, and User Interface ***

You can now change the size of the icons in your hotkey bars. Right-click on the hotkey bank, select "Set Icon Size," and use the slider to select the icon size you prefer.
The /emote command should now correctly display your character's name.
Charms, expendable items, and some pieces of equipment with clickable effects will now show reuse timers and distance tinting like spells do. This can be toggled on or off in the Options menu under User Interface --> Inventory --> Show recast timer for items.
Characters created with SOGA models switched on can now correctly change their appearance. Appearance changes had been saved but were not being displayed, so after the update your SOGA character will appear with whatever changes you most recently made.
The Factions tab on the Persona window now displays the current faction value and shows progress within the current degree of faction.
There is a new command called /showhelm that will allow you to toggle showing a helmet or mask when lowering a robe hood via the /showhood command. This command is temporary until we integrate the two commands together into a single option.
You can now close windows via the right-click context menu. This is especially useful if you have window frames disabled.
The /who command will now search using tradeskill level if you specify the artisan class name. For example, typing "/who all alchemist 50 60" will no longer return the names of level 50 to 60 adventurers who are also a lower-level alchemist.
Double-clicking a house item in your inventory will now attempt to place it.
Clicking the item link in your chat window after harvesting a collection item will attempt to add the item to a collection in your quest journal.
The number of house items you have placed in your house is now listed on the main house window.
The Collect an Item window now shows icons, tooltips, and status reduction, and will indicate if items are located on the floor, ceiling, or wall.
Item links that contain colons will now work correctly.
The compass and clock windows now work with clickthrough enabled.
The onscreen message window now defaults to using clickthrough.
The login window will now allow use of the keypad for numeric entry.
The location listed for house items should now give the correct position (wall, floor, or ceiling).
"Rent Reduction" is now listed as "Status Reduction."
Partial stacks of equipped items in the Charm slot can now be moved correctly.

*** UI Modders ***

There is now better tracking for window versions in the user interface.
/window_version <Module> <Name> will return the current version of the specified UI window.
There is also now a new interface property that give detailed version information on UI windows: version="<major>.<minor>.<revision>"
If the major number does not match, the window will not be displayed (e.g. if the window version in-game is 2.0.0, but your mod's version is 1.0.0, it will not display).
If the minor version number does not match, some functionality may not work correctly, but the window will still be displayed.
If the revision version number does not match, there was a cosmetic change to the window.
There is a new interface properly for modder attribution and commentary that is displayed in /window_version: version_note="<text>"
