Faster Initial App Startup
Faster Initial App Load
We were able to cut 1 second of the app’s initial startup time, through performance optimizations. That may not seem like much, but think about it in the context of every single time you load up the app.
Improved IPv6 Sinkhole
Our systemwide IPv6 leak protection is improved. However, again this comes with the warning that this is experimental and should be tested on your distro with an IP checker website. If there is any issue, you can disable IPv6.
