Citadel 0.5.0 fully separates Citadel's core from Umbrel. We've fixed many bugs in this update, removed many remaining Umbrel references and updated our OS to Debian 11, so we are now ready for upcoming Raspberry Pi models.
This update also introduces the LnMe app to get your own Lightning address. A Citadel Lightning address over Tor currently doesn't work with BlueWallet, but we'll be giving away @ln.runcitadel.space addresses soon.
This update also now sends the automated encrypted backups to Citadel instead of Umbrel to make sure we can help you in case your node fails (If you keep your 24 words).
