================================== #9 🛠️ Tools, Updates and Releases ================================== 1. Amber - v3.4.5 Amber is a Nostr event signer for Android that allows users to securely keep their nsec segregated in a dedicated app. This release improves relay connectivity and error handling by adding a button to restart relay connections, resending subscriptions on reconnect, and restarting relays automatically when message delivery fails. It also refines encryption handling to better support apps that do not yet implement NIP-44, reverts multi-window QR code reader support to fix issues with inverted codes, and generates new events on errors to prevent duplicates. Additionally, users now receive error notifications when event delivery fails, ensuring better reliability and transparency in relay communication. This was the biggest release of last week, but the latest release was v3.4.6, which had a small change. Developed by: @greenart7c3 Source:

3. NostrDVM - 1.1.3 NostrDVM is a framework for running NIP-90 decentralized virtual machines (DVMs) on Nostr. This release introduces heartbeat events, where DVMs now send a kind 11998 event every 300 seconds to signal they are active, with each heartbeat expiring after 300 seconds. In addition, status responses and replies now expire after 10 minutes by default, preventing unnecessary storage on relays and ensuring that DVM notes exist only temporarily. These updates improve reliability, efficiency, and relay storage management for DVM-based applications. Developed by: @Don't Believe The Vibe 🌱🍋🍊 Source:
