- Replaced the "date format" option with a "locale" option. Now, you can choose one of the locales supported by the Discord app, and DiscordChatExporter will infer all the required date, time, and number formats automatically. In GUI, the locale can be selected from the settings window. In CLI, the locale can be specified using the `--locale` option (e.g. `--locale "en-US"`). By default, the current system locale is used.
- Optimized the algorithm for fetching threads to improve performance. (Thanks [@slatinsky](https://github.com/slatinsky))
- GUI changes:
- Improved the initial load time after submitting the token. Now, only the guilds are loaded initially, and the channels are loaded on-demand when the user selects a guild. This should significantly improve performance for accounts with many guilds.
- Added an option to include threads in the channel list, which is configurable in settings. When enabled, threads will appear at the bottom of the list, grouped by the parent channel. Note that pulling threads (especially archived threads) can be a very time-consuming process, depending on the guild size. By default, threads are not included.
- CLI changes:
- Added a warning when using the `--bot` option, informing that it's obsolete and shouldn't be used.
- Changed the `--include-threads` option on the `channels` command from a switch (boolean) option, to an enum (choice) option. It now has possible values of `none`, `active`, or `all`, indicating which threads should be included. To include both active and archived threads, use `--include-threads all`. For backwards compatibility, the `--include-threads` option can still be used as a switch, in which case it will be treated as `--include-threads active`. Note that pulling threads (especially archived threads) can be a very time-consuming process, depending on the guild size.
- Added the `--include-threads` option to the `exportguild` and `exportall` commands. Using this option, you can specify whether to include threads (and which type) in the export. By default, threads are not included.
- Added the `--include-vc` option to the `channels` command. Using this option, you can specify whether to include voice-channel-accompanying text channels in the output. By default, these channels are included.
- Changed the progress reporting behavior of export commands such that tasks are now hidden on completion if parallelization is enabled (i.e. `--parallel` is set to `2` or higher). This should help improve visual clarity when exporting many channels in parallel.

- Added a text box for specifying the output path when exporting channels. It can be used to set an output path that uses template tokens, which previously required hacky workarounds. This text box can be left empty, in which case clicking on the "Export" button will open the file or folder picker dialog, matching the previous behavior.
