Just noticed this: the links in the footer of each mail are outdated, and the FAQ one is broken.

Public Service Announcement: This changed in master a long time ago, now you
use --classic to get the non-integrated UI, Long term it's unclear how long the
classic UI will be around

I recently (within the last few months) changed quite a bit about layers in
master (though the UI is essentially unchanged)

Resizeable layer pane is definitely something I want to do unfortunately the
layout is currently quite complex and my (fairly restricted) "dia time" has
been spent working on bug fixes and refactoring rather than features
