These are the major user-visible changes in 2.0:
* Pattern search is now available, similar to Kombilo. Use the settings
dialog to create a suitable database.
Unfortunately existing Kombilo databases can't be used for this because
of 32/64 bit compatibility issues.
* Database load times are reduced, and threading was added so that
the user interface remains responsive.
* Multiple online games can now be observed in a single window with
clickable previews to switch between them. The old mode of one game
per window is still available.
* There is a new "Tip of the day" dialog on startup, which displays
features that are maybe not easily discoverable. It can be disabled.
* There are several new high resolution wood textures for the board
to choose from.
* When playing engines that are capable of analysis, the evaluation is
now collected during the game and can be displayed live.
* Engine configuration now allows engines to be unrestricted in
board size and komi, catching up with improvements in KataGo over
Leela Zero.
* Some GTP bugs were fixed, which may improve compatibility with
certain engines.
* Window titles can now be overriden in the settings, which should help
with streaming setups.
* Performance improvements for the screen updates should now make it
feasible to turn off quiet mode when online, which allows the server
to send live player and game updates.
* There is a new option to highlight the user's own chat messages in
a different color.
These are the major user-visible changes in 2.1:
* A number of crashes in odd situations were fixed (such as analyzing
games with komi values like 650, or handling invalid server messages).
* It is now possible to copy/paste positions in Edit mode.
* The batch analysis dialog has a new button to enqueue an entire
directory of SGF files.
* Engine games now allow board sizes up to 52.
