New GUI release with several important bug fixes, mobile improvements and new features.
Firefox backups working again
For the hosted wallets bitshares.org/wallet and Openledger this release fixes the "Invalid format" bug in Firefox that was preventing backups from being restored.
Scam accounts highlighted
There are several scam accounts created to profit from users trying to transfer their funds to exchanges like Bittrex and Polonium. These accounts use slightly misspelled versions of the account names for those exchanges, like polonie-wallet or bittrex-deopsit. The transfer dialog will now display a warning if you've entered one of those account names in the to field.
Better access to brain key restore
The Restore from brainkey functionality used to be hidden under the Create new wallet page. This release adds From brainkey as an option to the the restore options in the settings, making it far more intuitive to restore your wallet using a brain key.
Deposit/Withdraw layout and copy button
The layout on mobile for the deposit/withdraw screen has been improved, and a Copy address button has been added that will let you easily copy the address to the clipboard.
A link has also been added to the mobile menu that lets you access the Deposit/Withdraw page more easily.
Notable bug fixes
- A bug in the component responsible for translating Help content was preventing fallbacks to English when translation keys were missing. This caused the GUI to freeze and has been fixed.
- Wallet creation with no valid inputs is no longer possible.
- The last market price is now shown in the market pairs of the Dashboard page.
- The Chat window can now be minimised properly and docked to the right side.
The binaries can be found on the release page. Full release notes can be found below:

@svk, Should I uninstall old version first before installing this version?
No, just install this one on top of your old one, that way you're sure to keep your wallet. Making a backup first is never a bad idea of course, but should not be necessary.
Thank you for good work!
Great work, as always. I would kiss you for that Firefox fix.
Great work svk!
As more and more users are coming to use wallet, the API seems very busy, and sometimes it is stuck. Is it possible to auto connect the least busy API or display how busy each API is?
Thanks.
Thks @svk for your work. It's appreciated. I've been using Bitshares wallet for a while and I see changes coming in. It amazing to see how things are improving and I feel proud when talking to my crypto friend about bitshares. Congratulation!
