0.9.0 Release Candidate 1

Release Note

0.9.0 adds new support for Name claims and SPV mode, along with a few UI/Performance improvements. Thanks @pinheadmz @rithvikvibhu @NetOperatorWibby @Falci for contributions!

What's new?

• Name claim wizard: claim your name airdrop easily with this new wizard
• SPV mode: use an SPV node instead of Fullnode and significantly reduced resources required when using Bob. Note that some methods that requires fullnode access are proxy to an API hosted by us.
• Upgrade to HSD 3.0.1: improved sync time and node perfomance. see changelog for full detail
• Improved wallet performance: bring back wallet-as-plugin architecture and improve wallet performance

hsd 3.0.1 Migration

This release will upgrade hsd to version 3.0.1. Please make sure that your seed phrases are already securely backed up before upgrade. If you have any pending listing/fills on secondary market, please also back up your exchange data by going to Settings -> Exchange

When you first start Bob after the upgrade, we will perform a chain data migration, which take approximately 5 minutes.

Switch to SPV Node

Go to Settings -> Network and enable SPV Mode. If Bob become unresponsive, a restart should fix it.

Stucked syncing SPV node?

If you SPV node is stuck at syncing for more than 5 minutes, it is likely having difficulties connecting to a node that supports SPV. Closing Bob completely and re-opening 2-3 times will normally fix the issues.
