## v2.0.0 - 2016-09-24
[See the full changelog](https://github.com/thelounge/lounge/compare/v1.5.0...v2.0.0)
After more than 5 months in the works, v2.0.0 is finally happening, and it's shipping with lots of new and enhanced features! 🎉
First of all, the backend IRC library is completely different, which was the first step to deciding on a major release.
This change brings many improvements and fixes, including support for auto-reconnection! This also allows us to easily improve our [IRCv3 compliance](http://ircv3.net/software/clients.html#web-clients).
Main changes on the server include support for WEBIRC, oidentd and LDAP. On the client, users will notice a lot of improvements about reporting unseen activity (notifications, markers, etc.), support for custom highlights, a new loading page, an auto-expanding message input, a theme selector, and more.
Administrators should note that the channel list format in user configuration files has changed. The old format is deprecated, but it will be automatically converted when the server starts (support may or may not be removed later). Additionally, The Lounge now only runs on Node v4 and up.
The above is only a small subset of changes. A more detailed list can be found below.
The following list features the most noticeable changes only, and more details can be found on all [v2.0.0 pre-releases](https://www.github.com/thelounge/lounge/releases).
