This is a minor release, mostly focused on a hotfix for the AppImage install. It also includes some light refactoring and UI fixes.

We’ve also added the ability to cap the number of users or extensions on an instance, for those providing LNbits as a service.

Named after @dni. DNI is a prolific contributor to LNbits who has been tearing through the codebase, making the software more streamlined, easier to maintain, and blazingly fast. LNbits would not be the project it is today without the contributions of this incredible developer.

v1.4 is a huge update and a massive achievement. Thank you to all the contributors who made this possible!

Notable Changes

• Major frontend overhaul: The LNbits frontend is now even faster after a large refactor that turns pages into Vue components, significantly improving responsiveness and maintainability.
• Significant backend performance improvements: Especially noticeable on busy servers, with reduced database load, improved payment handling, and faster common operations.
• Numerous fixes and improvements: Spanning payments, funding sources, providers, frontend, and backend.
