• New channel aliases to make Valet compatible with Eclair nodes.

Changed

• Tor fixes.
• Updated Electrum server list, checkpoints, and chain-hash validation;
  removed obsolete sync nodes.

Removed

• Submarine swaps draft.
• Old / unmaintained chain sync nodes purged from defaults.

Fixed

  startup failures on fresh installs.

Receive into specific channel (non-private)

New feature added: the user may force wallet to receive into the specific channel for better introp with external services.

Catch up release

This release incorporates numerous minor improvements that have been happening in the Simple Bitcoin Wallet codebase from November 2021 until February 2022.

Somali Shilling

• The new client side currency Somali Shilling (SOS) that has dynamic exchange rate based on data from bitpay.com. As the other sources doesn't provide rates for SOS the privacy will be reduced a bit for users who selected the SOS currency. Other currencies are not affected.
• The wallet now can request new rates when the user desires. You need to pick again the currency in settings menu to force the wallet to fetch new exchange rates. The old behavior fetched new rates only on periodic manner (each 30 minutes).
• Android 12 fixes on launch.

Rebrand to Valet

We are happy to announce major re-branding of our Standard Sats SBW wallet. Now it has shorter name "Valet" and new logo. If you installed some early version do not forget to upgrade since we improved Fiat Channels protocol.
