 ### New additions
 
+* Added "post in groups" feature. In order to do so, you need to load the posts for the group where you want to send something. Once loaded, go to the post button in the group's wall and select whether you want to post in the group's behalf or as yourself.
+* In all audio buffers, it is possible to select individual tracks to be played together. In order to do so, you need to press space to start the selection of items. When selected, the item will emit a sound to indicate the change. Press space in all items you want to select/unselect. When you're focusing an already selected item it will play a sound to indicate that it is already selected. Once you're done with your selection, pressing enter in the list of tracks will start the playback of the list of items you have selected. This is a very experimental feature. More actions can be supported based in this selection method if it proves to be useful.
+* In conversation buffers, it is possible to display and open wall posts sent as attachments in messages.
+* In people buffers, it is possible to create a new timeline by using the context menu while focusing an user. This method will create the buffer for the selected user, as opposed to creating the buffer from the menu bar, where you have to type the username or find it in a list.
+
+### bugfixes
+
+* Fixed an error with two factor authentication in the recent socializer version. Now it works reliably again.
+* Fixed an error when trying to attach a photo to a wall post. The error was fixed in the [vk_api](https://github.com/python273/vk_api) module and the fix was sent to the developer of the library, so he will be able to merge it in the next version. In the meantime, socializer already includes the fix for this method, so you can upload photos to wall posts normally.
+* Fixed an error retrieving some group information for the current session.
+* When posting in a topic, links will be posted properly.
+
+
+### Changes
+
+* the audio player module has received some improvements:
+    - When there is something being played, the label of the "play" button, located in all audio buffers, will change automatically to "pause". When pressed, it will pause the song instead of starting the playback again since the beginning.
+    - The last change will work also in the dialog for displaying audio information. Now it's possible to play and pause an audio from such dialog.
+    - When playing a voice message, if a song is playing already socializer will decrease the volume so you can hear the voice message well enough. Some seconds after the message has finished, the song's volume will be restored.
+* In audio buffers, you will play the focused audio when pressing enter in the item, instead of opening the audio information dialog.
+* Removed some old keystrokes in socializer buffers due to better alternatives. The reason for this change is that currently you don't need to be focusing an item in a buffer for being able to use the alternative keystrokes, which makes those a better implementation.
+    - Control+Enter and control+Shift+Enter: superseeded by Control+P for playing (and pausing) the currently focused audio.
+    - F5 and F6: superseeded by Alt+down and up arrows for modifying volume.
+
+## changes in version 0.20 (25.04.2019)
+
+### New additions
+
 * For users with multiple soundcards, there is a new tab in the preferences dialogue of Socializer, called sound. From there, you can define which soundcard will be used for input and output. [#25,](https://code.manuelcortez.net/manuelcortez/socializer/issues/25)
 * the audio player can seek positions in the currently playing track. You can use the menu items (located in the main menu) or use the new available keystrokes dedicated to the actions. Seeking will be made in 5 second intervals.
     * Alt+Shift+Left arrow: Seek 5 seconds backwards.
