## Breaking changes
The slack bridge has been split in a `slack-legacy` and `slack` bridge.
If you're still using `legacy tokens` and want to keep using them you'll have to rename `slack` to `slack-legacy` in your configuration. See [wiki](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Section-Slack-(basic)#legacy-configuration) for more information.

To migrate to the new bot-token based setup you can follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Slack-bot-setup).

Slack legacy tokens may be deprecated by Slack at short notice, so it is STRONGLY recommended to use a proper bot-token instead.

## New features
* general: New {GATEWAY} variable for `RemoteNickFormat` #501. See `RemoteNickFormat` in matterbridge.toml.sample.
* general: New {CHANNEL} variable for `RemoteNickFormat` #515. See `RemoteNickFormat` in matterbridge.toml.sample.
* general: Remove hyphens when auto-loading envvars from viper config #545
* discord: You can mention discord-users from other bridges.
* slack: Preserve threading between Slack instances #529. See `PreserveThreading` in matterbridge.toml.sample.
* slack: Add ability to show when user is typing across Slack bridges #559
* slack: Add rate-limiting
* mattermost: Add support for mattermost [matterbridge plugin](https://github.com/matterbridge/mattermost-plugin)
* api: Respond with message on connect. #550
* api: Add a health endpoint to API #554

## Bugfix
* slack: Refactoring and making it better.
* slack: Restore file comments coming from Slack. #583
* irc: Fix IRC line splitting. #587
* mattermost: Fix cookie and personal token behaviour. #530
* mattermost: Check for expiring sessions and reconnect.
