 * Add *Ascii & Unicode Icon Set* for fun
 * Add simple plugin *Quick Image Viewer* to show images in a simple way.
 * Add *Send Keys* plugin that can send synthetic keyboard events,
   and prominently can be used for the *Paste to Foreground Window*

+* Internally, change how actions are carried out by allowing the
+  action execution context object to be passed down the execution chain
+  instead of being a global resource. This also allows plugins to cleanly
+  access current environment (event timestamp, current screen etc).
+* The *Tracker 0.8* plugin supports version 0.8 and 0.10 alike. Because of
+  that and the expected compatibility with one version after this too, it's
+  now called *Tracker*.
