#9 π οΈ Tools, Updates and Releases
==================================
1. Coracle - 0.6.19
Coracle is an experimental Nostr client designed to harness the full potential of multiple relays, enabling users to browse, filter, zap, and build custom feeds for a curated Nostr experience. This release enhances relay hint reliability, enables DMs via conversation links, improves feed parent fetching, removes profile banners, and introduces better mute functionality with private muting by default. It now broadcasts user relays when publishing, aggressively refreshes user data to avoid race conditions, adds NWC wallet management, and reworks the zaps feature.

It also rechecks encryption type compatibility, reverts multi-window QR code reader support, generates new events on errors to prevent duplicates, sends error notifications when events canβt be delivered, and changes the process to close the app before retrying event sends.
