Challenge friend option removed?

Why has the option to challenge a friend been removed in the latest version 0.9.4? All i see now is "Unfollow" and "report"

Also, there should be a challenge icon shortcut next to each player on the Friends list instead of digging through menus
As far as I know, once the feature is fully finished (currently notifications when receiving a challenge are not implemented).

Quote from Discord by main dev:

Not really but I got sidetracked by all the PRs to review and other priorities that arised in the meantime (feedback from bullet players about the reactivity of the board that I deemed important enough to work on a major change of chessground regarding the event listener).

I will try to make a release very soon and after that I will resume the work on challenges. Receiving challenges will involve local native notifications which is also not trivial to set up. That's why I prefered to make an intermediate release before finishing it, to release sooner.
