+# Release v.0.1.9
+
+Very minor release, mainly want to get this out to support a big pending update in the new [Oobabot-plugin GUI for Oobaboog's Text Generation WebUI.](https://github.com/chrisrude/oobabot-plugin)
+
+## New Features
+
+### Unsolicited Reply Cap
+
+There's a new `unsolicited_channel_cap` option in
+`discord` section of `config.yml`.  It does this:
+
+FEATURE PREVIEW: Adds a limit to the number of channels
+the bot will post unsolicited messages in at the same
+time.  This is to prevent the bot from being too noisy
+in large servers.
+
+When set, only the most recent N channels the bot has
+been summoned in will have a chance of receiving an
+unsolicited message.  The bot will still respond to
+@-mentions and wake words in any channel it can access.
+
+Set to 0 to disable this feature.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+### Remove deprecated command-line options
+
+The following CLI arguments have been removed:
+
+- `diffusion_steps`
+- `image_height`
+- `image_width`
+- `stable_diffusion_sampler`
+- `sd_negative_prompt`
+- `sd_negative_prompt_nsfw`
+
+All of these settings are still changeable via the config file.
+
+If you don't have a config file, you can generate one first on your previous version by using:
+``oobabot [all your normal CLI arguments] --generate-config > config.yml
+
+From the directory you run oobabot from.  Now all your CLI arguments are stored in the yml file,
+and you don't need to pass them anymore.
+
+## Bug Fixes / Tech Improvements
+
+- add a method to generate / load yml config files from another package
+
+- Discord's own logs are now included in the standard logging output, in a purple background
