## Message pinning (`feature_pinning`)
Allows you to pin messages in the room. To pin a message, use the 3 dots to the right of the message
and select "Pin".
## Custom status (`feature_custom_status`)
An experimental approach for supporting custom status messages across DMs. To set a status, click on
your avatar next to the message composer.
## Custom tags (`feature_custom_tags`)
An experimental approach for dealing with custom tags. Custom tags will appear in the bottom portion
of the community filter panel.
Setting custom tags is not supported by Riot.
## Render simple counters in room header (`feature_state_counters`)
Allows rendering of labelled counters above the message list.
Once enabled, send a custom state event to a room to set values:
1. In a room, type `/devtools` to bring up the devtools interface
2. Click "Send Custom Event"
3. Toggle from "Event" to "State Event"
4. Set the event type to: `re.jki.counter` and give it a unique key
5. Specify the content in the following format:
```
{
"link": "",
"severity": "normal",
"title": "my counter",
"value": 0
}
```
That's it. Now should see your new counter under the header.

## New simple composer (`feature_cider_composer`)
An experimental, faster, message composer which should be more reliable and less prone to problems when
using your chosen input method.
