In particular, please note the following:

Important: for XDG base directory users, 0.3.0 has changed the place
for storing cookies, history, known hosts and bookmarks. In previous versions, Chawan had put these in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chawan', but now it uses `$XDG_DATA_HOME/chawan'.

Affected users should either:

* Move their files (e.g. using this shell script:
https://lists.sr.ht/~bptato/chawan-announce/%3CaNgt_R946cjlOZed@touya%3E)
* Or `export CHA_DIR=${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:$HOME/.config}/chawan' to restore the
old behavior (which goes against the spec, but hey, it's your computer.)

Users who store their configuration in $HOME/.chawan are **not** affected.

Happy Hacking
