 ``browser`` in the section ``[Plugins][[Test Runner]]``.
+  (2.1b1 - 2024-09-21)

+- Added Korean language support for UI, experimental.
+- Added option ``caret style`` to change insert caret to `block` or `line` in Text Editor, by editing ``settings.cfg``.
+The color of the caret is the same as `setting` and will be adjusted for better contrast with the background.
