Ability to recover a web wallet from a mobile recovery file.
Wallet API users can now sign user messages correctly.
Added Drag and Drop for the DApp store page. And lots of other minor interface improvements.
Added social networks to the Dapp publisher page, now they can be linked to the profile.

Known limitations

When using active laser beam channels the CLI wallet should not be offline for over 24 hours
Once generated, do not offer the same offline address to multiple senders of payments
One more line was added in known limitations DApp Store — On Ubuntu 22+ apps list will not load icons

Points to mention

Upon using Atomic Swaps with ETH, DAI, WBTC, and USDT, users will have to create an account on Infura.
The sender of funds to a receiver's Public Offline Address might be able to know that those funds are later being used by the receiver. Beam wallet and Beam explorer do not expose such functionality but it’s possible to derive this information by analyzing the Blockchain.
