New Features
New Nexus Mods API support. This touches almost everything concerning connections to the Nexus. Downloads, update checks, endorsements, ...
You must reauthenticate within the Settings Nexus tab
You no longer enter user credentials, instead you will see a button. Click this button and you will be redirected to Nexus where it will ask you to log in and then authenticate the request for MO2. Once this is done MO2 will automatically receive and store your API key. If you revoke this key on Nexus, you will need to click the button to revoke your local credentials and then request a new key.
Requests are (currently) limited to 2500 a day and 100 per hour. (They are consumed simultaneously.)
Your currently remaining requests as well as the count of currently queued requests are now displayed at the bottom of the Mod list. This counter may be hidden in the settings.
Nexus credentials are now stored in the Windows Credential Manager instead of in an INI file.
Added support for Enderal: Forgotten Stories on Steam.
Added ability to check for invalid file attributes that may prevent a game from seeing the files.
Will be run any time an external executable is run. Mostly relevant to Skyrim SE and FO4.
Disabled by default. Set Settings > Plugins > Basic Diagnosis Plugin > check_fileattributes to true to enable.
Added "active" counters to the top-right of the mod list and plugin list.
Click or mouse-over the counters for more information!
Added archive parsing and conflict detection feature.
This is still considered an experimental feature. Please report any bugs on the Discord server.
Disabled by default. Check Settings > Workarounds > "Enable parsing of Archives" to enable.
Added the ability to track and untrack mods.
Similar to the endorse mod feature. Indicated with a push pin in the flags column.
Added "Explore Virtual Folder" option in executables list.
This launches a bundled instance of Explorer++ in the game directory. This can be handy to view files in their natural habitat and copy files out of the virtual file system.
DO NOT try to move, delete, or create files through Explorer++. It probably won't work too well, if at all.
Added notification plugin to check for common script extender errors like using the wrong version of files (kudos to AnyOldName3).
Added protection against invalid "start in" directories for executables.
Added the plugins that are missing masters to the missing master notification.
Improvements
Improved ability to search in the mod list and plugin list.

Ctrl-F can be used to select the text filter.
ESC can be used to clear the text filter.
