via Release notes from watgbridge

Release 1.9.1 (GitHub link for the release)

New Features:
- You can set whatsapp.create_thread_for_info_updates to true in your config so that when new group metadata updates are there or some profile picture updates are there but no corresponding thread exists on Telegram, then new thread is created
- Tried to add who initiated the group metadata update (like who kicked the users, who added anyone etc.)

News:
- Added support for nix (the package manager of NixOS). So, you can also use nix now to install it on various other distros (including MacOS) if you have nix installed
