The biggest change in this release is related to attachable wallets. They are now implemented as plugins.

If SN were a house, wallets were the lights and we wanted to install a new light, we previously had to rip open all the walls to install new wires for it and risk a fire. Now, we can reuse all the wires that have stood the test of time and thus we know are safe to use.

This makes it not only for us much easier to add new wallets, but also for contributors. We also wrote up some documentation. We will also add more tickets to add wallets like this one about Blink.

Additionally, you can now enable and disable every wallet independently. Previously, you could only have one spending wallet and one receiving wallet enabled at a time.

Since you can now have multiple wallets enabled for spending/receiving, we've added drag and drop.¹ This means you can now drag the wallets around in the settings. The wallet in the top-left corner will have the highest priority and will be attempted first. If a wallet fails during autowithdrawal, the next in line will be attempted. In a future release, this is also how it will work for spending wallets. Currently, it only attempts the wallet with the highest priority.

This wraps up stage 2 of our wallet plans.

Next stage is implementing non-custodial zapping: zaps will directly go to your attached wallet instead of using the custodial wallet as a buffer.
