v3.3.0 ✨Hidden Orion from Webb

This release contains many amazing new features, bug fixes and UI improvements.

For example: it is now possible to send and receive onchain bitcoin by signing with your Alby Master Key (You can try our demo wallet at https://getalby.github.io/bitcoin-wallet/). This is possible with the new Alby window.webbtc provider API. We have improved control over site access by splitting permissions for different providers such as nostr and webLN - therefore you know exactly what functionality you are enabling for the site. We've improved Login with Lightning so now that if you don't have a master key yet, you'll be guided on how to set one up. We've improved the UX for paying HOLD invoices, and added a new method to our extension APIs to check whether providers have been enabled in the past or not without having to launch a popup. There are also many bug fixes and updated translations! 🚀

v3.2.1 🌕 Tagging Bennu - patch 1

v3.2.0 with a bugfix in the liquid get address screen

v3.2.0 🌕 Tagging Bennu

This release contains many amazing new features, bug and security fixes and beautiful UI improvements.
For example: it is now possible to do onchain swaps and send payments to onchain addresses using deezy.io directly from with in the Extension.
The injection of the window.nostr and window.webln providers has been greatly improved and is now faster. This makes it easier and faster for web apps to detect if a provider is present. Also Alby can now handle parallel calls to those providers using an internal queue (no more "call is already executing" errors for developers of nostr apps \o/)
Alby now no longer checks the LNURL description hash in order to make the LNURL pay spec update possible.
The allowance views have been completely updated with much more useful information.
