umbrelOS 1.3 Beta 2 brings swappable apps, and a range of new features, performance enhancements, and essential bug fixes.

This release also includes a bugfix causing some 1.3 Beta 1 users to be unable to swap apps.

New features:

• Swappable apps: Swappable apps bring a whole new meaning to self-sovereignty. For example, you can now choose which Bitcoin node app you want to run: Bitcoin Node, Bitcoin Knots, or Libre Relay, and select your preferred Electrum server app: Electrs, Fulcrum, or ElectrumX. With just a tap, all your connected apps seamlessly switch their connections.

• Cloudflare DNS: Enable Cloudflare DNS for improved reliability, or disable it to inherit DNS settings from your router.

• Factory Reset: Facing unexpected issues or want to start fresh? Reset your Umbrel in just a few clicks via Settings > Advanced Settings > Factory Reset.

Bug fixes and enhancements

• Performance & UI improvements: Snappier user interface with prefetching and aggressively cached assets in production, reducing load times. Theme colors are now consistent between the index and web manifest.
• App Store enhancements: Enhanced App Store with support for fuzzy search, display default credentials upon opening apps for the first time, moved app support links to the app info card, fixed scroll restoration issues in the App Store, fixed issue with the app install/update progress bar in Safari, and preserved search queries when navigating through the App Store.
• Security enhancements: Increased the bcrypt cost factor to enhance security and ensured safe redirect URLs on login.
• Miscellaneous fixes: Allow umbrelOS to run on laptops with lids closed by ignoring lid switch events, fixed CPU usage formatting in the system widget, language and temperature selections are now saved on the backend for a consistent experience between devices/browsers.
