Releases: getAlby/hub
v1.14.2 Mike Godwin
In this release we also add some cool new widgets to the home screen and many new apps to the app store. Alby Hub now has a healthcheck indicator, better fiat support, NIP-44 encryption, and a way for self-hosters to support Alby! We've also added basic swap functionality to the node page so you can more easily manage your liquidity without having to open new channels.
The Cashu backend was also updated - you can now recover stuck funds, and for new users you will have a recovery phrase which you can recover your funds in other wallets.
The Phoenixd backend now supports sub-wallets.
Verifying the Release
In order to verify the release, you'll need to have gpg or gpg2 installed on your system. Once you've obtained a copy (and hopefully verified that as well), you'll first need to import the keys that have signed this release if you haven't done so already:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/getalby/hub/master/scripts/keys/rolznz.asc | gpg --import
Once you have the required PGP keys, you can verify the release (assuming manifest.txt.asc and manifest.txt are in the current directory) with:
gpg --verify manifest.txt.asc manifest.txt
You should see the following if the verification was successful:
gpg: Signature made Wed Jan 8 11:56:42 2025 +07
gpg: using RSA key 5D92185938E6DBF893DCCC5BA5EABD8835092B08
gpg: Good signature from "Roland Bewick <roland.bewick@gmail.com>" [ultimate]
That will verify the signature of the manifest file, which ensures integrity and authenticity of the archive you've downloaded locally containing the binaries. Next, depending on your operating system, you should then re-compute the sha256 hash of the archive:
shasum -a 256 <filename>
Compare the hash with the one in the manifest file and ensure they match exactly.

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.
What's Changed
New features
- feat: Add get_budget implementation by @jklein24 in #726

Hotfix 2
This hotfix release introduces app store detail pages to improve instructions on connecting your hub.
We also have some bugfixes such as resolving boostagram payment issues caused by a type mismatch and fixing invoice creation errors by doubling the metadata limit (now 4096 from 2048 characters). The version comparison bug that incorrectly marked hubs as up to date has also been addressed.
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.
