v1.9.1 🧰 Still not Miami - patch 1
v1.9.0 introduced a bug that caused the webln.signMessage call to fail. This is now fixed.
There are no other changes in this release.
v1.9.0 🌈 Still not Miami
This release contains new features, fixes, security updates but sadly also a breaking change. We're required to do this change to be compatible with BlueWallet and LNBits for signing messages which is used for Login with LNURL-auth.
But the good new is: with these changes we slowly approach a more stable "Beta" version. \o/
Breaking Changes!
Message signing with LNDhub and LNbits accounts has been changed to be compatible with BlueWallet and also LNbits in the future.
Sadly this is a breaking change and if you rely on the old signing mechanism to login to websites you have to enable the Legacy signing for LNDhub and LNBits option in the Settings.
If you have an LNDHub or LNbits account and use Alby to login to websites, then enable the Legacy signing for LNDhub and LNBits option. Sorry for any inconvenience.

v1.6.0 🌈 Back from Istanbul
💸 New Alby wallets
With this release we fully activate our Alby wallets. Getting a new wallet is now easier and much faster!
We recommend everyone to migrate their old BlueWallet LNDhub accounts to a new Alby account.
🥷 Activated support to connect to nodes behind Tor
With our new Alby companion apps you can now connect Alby to nodes behind Tor.
Tor greatly improves the node operator's privacy and makes it easier to connect to personal nodes like for example RaspiBlitz, Umbrel, Citadel, myNode, etc.
Note: this requires a new Browser permission to allow native messaging. Your Browser will ask you to confirm this.

v1.3.2
v.1.3.0 and v.1.3.1 had a bug that default settings are not used if the user already had some custom setting saved.
This resulted in cases where the website enhancements had been disabled. Those should be enabled by default.
🐛 Bugfix
- Keep website enhancements enabled by default
v1.3.1 🚀 1000 followers
Same as v1.3.0 but with shorter extension description due to add-on store limitations.
