  - Special UI for matrix.to URLs

- Prevent using upload keybindings in rooms where user doesn't have permission
  to upload

## Backend

- Use new nio `AsyncClient.restore_login()`

- Better config file format

- Prevent starting multiple client instances, causes problems with E2E DB
- Check if username exists on login screen
- [Soft logouts](https://github.com/poljar/matrix-nio/commit/aba10)
- Logout previous session when adding an account that's already connected

- Cache and restore profiles, room events and client states

- Properly handle direct chats 
- Live-reloading accounts.json

- E2E
  - SAS verification
  - Request room keys from own other devices
  - Provide help when undecryptable messages occur, including:
    - Trigger `nio.AsyncClient.request_room_key`
    - Option to export-logout-login-import to fix one-time key problems
  - Cross-signing

- Display read receipts on events (who/how many people have read an event)
- Fully read markers

- Methods of signing in that aren't handled yet:
  - `m.login.password` alternate logins methods:
    - `m.id.thirdparty`
    - `m.id.phone`
  - `m.login.recaptcha` (need browser, just use fallback?)
  - `m.login.oauth2`
  - `m.login.email.identity`

- Update to Mistune v2.0 when released

## Notable changes for future Qt version upgrade

### [Qt 5.13](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.13)

- Added `SplitView`
- Added `cache` property to icon

### [Qt 5.14](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.14)

- Applications can now opt-in to use non-integer scale factors.
  Use `QGuiApplication::highDpiScaleFactorRoundingPolicy`.

- Added `qmlRegisterSingletonInstance` function.
  This allows to expose a QObject as a singleton to QML, without having to
  create a factory function as required by `qmlRegisterSingletonType`.
  It is meant as a type safe replacement of `setContextProperty`.

- Added `qmlRegisterAnonymousType` as a replacement for `qmlRegisterType`.
  It allows to specify the URI and major version for better tooling support.

- qmllint gained an experimental -U option. If run with it, it warns about 
  about accesses to unqualified identifiers

- `Text` and `TextEdit` now support Markdown format
  (CommonMark and GitHub dialects) as an alternative to HTML.
  Includes the GitHub checklist extension, such that you can click to toggle
  checkboxes in a `TextEdit`.

- `TextEdit` uses an I-beam cursor by default, and a pointing-hand cursor when
  hovering a checkbox or a link

- Added `WheelHandler`, an Event Handler for the mouse wheel, and optionally
  for emulated mouse wheel events coming from a trackpad.
  - Rewrite `HKineticScrollingDisabler` with it 

- Added `BoundaryRule` in Qt.labs.animation: a `PropertyValueInterceptor` that
  restricts the range of values a numeric property can have, applies
  "resistance" when the value is overshooting, and provides the ability to
  animate it back within range. It's particularly useful in combination with
  `WheelHandler`, to provide similar physics as Flickable has.

- `Image` and `BorderImage` now have the same `currentFrame` and `frameCount`
  properties that `AnimatedImage` has; this allows choosing an individual icon
  from an .ICO file that contains multiple icons, for example.
  In the future it's intended to support other multi-page formats such as
  PDF, TIFF and WEBP.

- `Binding.restoreMode`: This property can be used to describe if and how the
  original value should be restored when the binding is disabled.

### [Qt 5.15](https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.15)

- Introduced inline components
  (ability to declare multiple QML components in the same file)

- Introduced `required` properties

- Added a declarative way of registering types to QML

- Added support for the Nullish Coalescing Operator (`??`)

- Added `qmlformat` tool which automatically formats any QML file according to
  the QML Coding Conventions.

- Added `cursorShape` property to pointer handlers. Most pointer handlers
  (e.g. `DragHandler`) will change the cursor when the active state is true.
  `HoverHandler` will change it when the mouse is hovering over the `Item` that
  contains the `HoverHandler`.

- Added `selectTextByMouse` property to `ComboBox`.

- Technology Preview: Support for running Qt Quick (2D) on top of 
  Direct3D, Metal and Vulkan
