0.9.6

Desktop Node Release 0.9.6

We're thrilled to announce Desktop Node version 0.9.6! This release brings key fixes, improved functionality, and a smoother overall user experience. Your feedback continues to drive these improvements, and we're excited to share what's new.

New Feature ✨

1. View Non-Verified Tasks in Available Tasks Table: We've expanded the Available Tasks table to let you display not only the tasks vetted by our team, but also those that haven't been verified yet. You can toggle this feature on or off with a simple switch. Tasks will now be labeled with 'Verified' or 'Not Verified' tags, so you can easily tell them apart.

Fixes and Improvements 🛠️

1. Markdown Descriptions Theming Issue Fixed: We've resolved an issue where Markdown task descriptions were being affected by the system’s theme, ensuring consistent formatting across different environments.

2. Improved Task Row Hover: The task name now appears when hovering anywhere in the task row, not just over the thumbnail. This makes it easier and more intuitive to view task details at a glance.

3. Popover Cutoff Issue Fixed: We've fixed a problem where the Popover component was getting cut off in several areas of the app, ensuring all popovers are displayed properly.

4. Unstake Option Bug Fixed: We've resolved a bug that allowed the 'Unstake' option to be enabled even when there was no stake to unstake. This works as expected, preventing any confusion around a task's available stake.

5. Improved Unstake Modal UX: Previously, the unstaking modal couldn't be closed during an operation without explanation. We've enhanced this by visibly disabling the close button and adding a tooltip that explains why the action is blocked, improving clarity.

6. Better Table Column Layouts: We’ve refined the columns layout in both tables, especially optimized the spacing for the Tags column.

7. Tweaks to Verified/Not Verified Tags: Replaced ‘Whitelisted/Not Whitelisted’ with ‘Verified/Not Verified’ and added explanatory tooltips for both tags, making them clearer and more user-friendly.

8. Fixed Not Verified KPL Tasks Failing on First Run: Resolved an issue where some KPL tasks were incorrectly identified as KOII tasks, causing them to fail on the first run attempt. This fix ensures that KPL tasks are recognized and processed correctly from the start.

4. Improved Handling of Unconfirmed Transactions: The app now gracefully handles non-confirmed staking and unstaking transactions, ensuring that your transaction history remains accurate and up-to-date.
