- You can now pass any option to the underlying GameDig library when querying a server by setting msg.options object on the input. Can be used for example to set msg.options.guildId that is required for querying Discord servers. Note that this will override even the config settings from the UI.

- New option "Output options" that you can enable from config to output `msg.options` object that contains all options we passed to GameDig to query the server. This overrides all other options (whether set from the UI or from `msg.*` variables) so take note of that when chaining multiple server query nodes together with this enabled.
- Breaking Change: This node no longer returns `msg.max_attempts`, `msg.socket_timeout`, and `msg.attempt_timeout`, instead see "Output options" mentioned above if you need this.
