# Liana daemon and GUI release notes
## 6.0
This release introduces support for the Jade signing device, a number of usability improvements as
well as some bug fixes.
### Breaking changes
#### Liana GUI
- The `hardware_wallets` field in the configuration file is now disregarded. It was deprecated since
version 0.2.
### Features
#### Liana daemon / library
- We now more accurately estimate the size of a signed spend transaction, preventing overpaying fees
in some configurations.
- `lianad` now accepts two new arguments: `--version` and `--help`.
#### Liana GUI
- We now support the Jade signing device.
- We now use a more recent graphic renderer ([`wgpu`](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu)), which offers
better compatibility with newer systems.
- The network is now set first in the installer.
- It's now possible to get back from the descriptor creation step to the installer landing page.
- Advanced text shaping was enabled. Basically: you can now use emojis in labels and aliases.
- Date and time are now displayed according to the system's timezone configuration.
- We now also show the [BIP388](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0388.mediawiki)
wallet policy when registering a descriptor on a signing device.
- The descriptor backup step was removed in installer when a descriptor was just imported in the
previous step.
- We now set a minimum window size.
### Fixes
#### Liana daemon / library
#### Liana GUI
- When creating a new wallet, we now better communicate if a wallet already exists in the selected
network.
- When configuring the connection to bitcoind manually, we now display a warning if specifying a
non-loopback IP address.
- Clicking on "Wallet" breadcrumb in Settings used to open "About" page.
- When entering the feerate for an RBF, it was made easier to edit a single-digit value.
- When updating an existing transaction draft, entering an invalid PSBT could crash the application.
