If the node was briefly busy, the panel used to vanish and pop back; it now stays put and simply shows "Updating…" until the next reading arrives, while a genuinely stopped node still correctly shows as not running. +- Bitcoin sync progress on the home screen now updates more promptly, so the percentage and block height keep pace with the node instead of lagging behind. +- The Lightning wallet "connect your wallet" screen loads its details and QR code again across all nodes, instead of failing to fetch them. +- Your list of trusted nodes is now clean: the same node no longer appears several times under different names, and removed nodes stay removed. In chat, a node that previously showed up as two separate contacts now appears just once. +- Browsing another node's cloud is smoother: music and video files from a peer now preview and play properly (including seeking partway through), and the connection now shows a small badge telling you whether it's using the fast encrypted mesh or the slower Tor network. +- Opening "My Folders" in the cloud now shows a clear, friendly message when the file app isn't running, instead of a confusing error. +- The Electrum server app opens on its own once it's ready, instead of sometimes leaving a loading spinner stuck on top of the screen. +- The Fedimint app now displays with its proper styling and icons, instead of appearing unstyled with a missing image. +- The Mempool app now connects to your Bitcoin node whether the node is Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Knots, instead of only working with one of them. +- The background images throughout the interface now load faster — they've been made significantly smaller with no loss of quality. + ## v1.7.96-alpha (2026-06-15) - The screen attached to your node now shows the normal Archipelago interface and your dashboard after you sign in, instead of a separate, stripped-down grid of app icons that could appear in its place. That extra screen has been removed so the attached display matches what you see everywhere else.
