changelog.md

@@ -13,6 +13,7 @@
 * It is possible to delete a conversation buffer from the buffer menu. Deleting a conversation will only dismiss the buffer, no data is deleted at VK.
 * During the first start of Socializer, an invitation will be shown to join the Socializer's group in case the current user is not already a member.
 * It is possible to see how many people has read a wall post when showing it in the dialog. ([#28.](https://code.manuelcortez.net/manuelcortez/socializer/issues/28))
+* A new tab has been added to the preferences dialog. From the new section, it is possible to control whether socializer should create buffers for the first 1000 audio albums, video albums and communities when starting.
 * Added functionality regarding comments in wall posts:
     * when reading a post, you can press enter in any comment to display a dialog from where it is possible to view attachments, translate, check spelling or reply to the thread. If there are replies made to this comment, these will be visible in a section called replies. Pressing enter in a reply will also open the same dialog.
     * A new "replies" field has been added to the comments' list.
