 - 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.
+- Nodes start up cleanly after a reboot. On some boots the node's main service was trying to start before its data drive had finished mounting, so it failed and retried about twenty times over roughly five minutes — showing a wall of "Failed to start" messages — before finally coming up. It now waits for the data drive to be ready first, so it starts on the first try.
 - The background images throughout the interface now load faster — they've been made significantly smaller with no loss of quality.
