Release notes 

Autostart: create .config/autostart if needed; Handle case when user sets local clock back in time
KDE support, initial version
Do not destroy preferences dialog, just hide it, cache it on start - shows much faster now
Thumbs menu: radio mark on the current size and position menu items
Initial wallpaper refresh in a Timer - faster start when filters are used
Minor fix: make prepare thread not wake every 30 seconds
Clipboard monitoring: option to bypass the whitelist
Separate filter and clock filter so that only clock filter is applied every minute (reduced CPU usage when both are used); Better icon (128 px, not blurry in gnome shell)
Persist last wallpaper change moment. Use it when change interval is >= 6 hours to ensure wallpaper changes regularly even between restarts; Fixed bug in history persisting - was persisting too much
Minor fix to comments in variety.conf
Marking of current file in thumbnails view
Proper listening for thumbs window closed event - updates the Close/Show history state
