Release notes 1.8.3

Fixes for occasional freezing with large folders and for emojis in filenames on Windows.

Bug fixes

Potential hang after listing large folders

Especially on Windows, Fileside could freeze up for many seconds up to a minute after navigating into or around in large folders. The built-in file watcher has now been reworked to prevent this from happening.

Windows: Emojis in filenames

Upgrading Electron led to an upgrade of Node led to an upgrade of libuv which unfortunately broke emojis in filenames on Windows. Oh the joys of modern software development. Kicking Electron back down a version gives us an early enough version of libuv to not exhibit this bug.
