Release Summary

This release brings three of the most awaited features on Guake:

• search in current terminal
• session saving
• settings export and import

Our MVC ("Most Valuable Contributor") for this release is Louie Lu (@mlouielu) who worked hard to build these three features in a row! Thank you very much for your hard work !
