What's new

• Updated to LND v0.18.2.

• New syncing nodes have been added in different regions around the world: uswest.blixtwallet.com (Seattle), europe.blixtwallet.com (Germany), and asia.blixtwallet.com (Singapore). New wallets will automatically use these. In order to reset your bitcoin node setting, hold on "Set Bitcoin node" in settings -> Bitcoin Network.
