Release notes for 3.2.1
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 within 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 (a big improvement 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.
