Release notes for 2.1.1

Message console input now captures `tab` button press and inserts a "\t" character, when focused.
It naturally prevents default functionality of the tab button (i.e. jumping to the next element) *only* when focus is on the message input. We can use `Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Tab` to compensate for that.
