## New Features
Despite me saying after every release that it is mostly feature complete; new **Rofi**, new features.
However these new features are mostly to improve current functionality and debugging.
Below the 4 most important ones.
### Underline Match
A new, hopefully welcome, addition is that **Rofi** now highlights the match in each row:

![Rofi Underline](./rofi-underline-match.png)
To accomplish this, now all matching is done using *GRegex*, as this returns the exact location in the string of each match.
While I don't see a direct use, it is something a lot of other *quick search* tools provide, so **Rofi** could not stay
behind.
## Multiline Select
While already existing, we now improved the multi-line select in **dmenu** mode. It will allow you to select and unselect rows, selected rows are highlighted with a dot and a small counter indicated the amount of rows selected.

This should help debugging recent bugs, where people had an invalid `pid` path set in the configuration file.
Additionally if you dump the configuration, for using on another pc, it will comment the options that are set to their
default value. (So f.e. pidfile location won't be overriden).
## Bug Fixes
As no tool is without bugs, and **Rofi** not being the exception, we did manage to squash a few.
* Fix current desktop window selector
* Fix launching application in terminal
* Fix current desktop window selector.
* Fix launching application in terminal.
* Support ```#include``` in config file.
* **XLib** dependency. The last hard dependency on **Xlib** has been removed by the use of
**[xcb-util-xrm](https://github.com/Airblader/xcb-util-xrm)**.
* Fix rofi on 30bit 10 bit per channel display.
* Indicate what set an option in rofi help and dump resources.
* Comment unset options in dump. Allowing configurations to be shared more easily.
* Correct `Control-u` behaviour to remove till begin of line. `Control-w` now whipes the line.
* Add missing `Control-k` keybinding, delete till end of line.
## Remove features
* Removed fuzzy finder
* Remove **[i3](http://www.i3wm.org)** workarounds. As **i3** has, for more than a year now, native support for EWMH.
* Remove **XLib** dependency. The last hard dependency on **Xlib** has been removed by the use of
**[xcb-util-xrm](https://github.com/Airblader/xcb-util-xrm)**.
