v1.10.4 Dave Del Torto

In this release we redesign the Connect Alby Account page, better highlighting the features of the Alby Account.

We also make improvements to the backup and migration functionality.

Also, isolated app balances can now easily be topped up from within Alby Hub.

Hotfix 4

In this hotfix change the encrypted channel backups for Alby Accounts by encrypting using a key derived by the recovery phrase, rather than using the encrypted recovery phrase, which also required the unlock password and had a nonce which could not be derived from the recovery phrase and unlock password alone.

We also add a new NWC get_budget method, and allow topping up isolated app balances from the Alby Hub UI.

Hotfix 2

This hotfix release introduces app store detail pages to improve instructions on connecting your hub.

Additionally, isolated apps now include the get_info permission, allowing isolated app connections in Alby Go. And finally a desktop app issue that caused the app to run twice has also been fixed now.
