This release adds ARM64/aarch64 platform support, native Palladium URI scheme integration, a unified network reset feature for both desktop and Android interfaces, and several bug fixes and documentation improvements.
### Added
- **ARM64/aarch64 support**: AppImage builds now include a dedicated ARM64 variant for Linux on aarch64 hardware.
- **ARM64 QML support**: Android/QML interface now works on ARM64 devices with pinned PyQt6 dependencies (`PyQt6>=6.7.0,<6.8.0`) to ensure compatibility where PyQt6 ≥ 6.9 is unavailable.
- **Palladium URI scheme**: Donation flow and payment handling now use the `palladium:` URI scheme instead of `bitcoin:`.
- **Reset SSL certificates**: New action in both Qt (Server tab) and QML (Server Settings) to delete locally cached TLS certificates and force re-fetch on reconnect. Useful when a server renews its self-signed certificate.
- **Reset known servers**: New action alongside SSL reset to clear the list of recently used servers, available in both Qt and QML interfaces.
- **Troubleshooting section in user guide**: Added documentation explaining SSL certificate caching, why self-signed certificates require manual reset, and step-by-step instructions for both Android and desktop.
- **Whitepaper link**: Updated Help → White Paper URL to the correct repository (`palladium-coin/whitepaper`).
- **Browser opening on Linux**: `webopen()` now uses `xdg-open` instead of Python's `webbrowser` module, preventing text-based browsers (e.g. `w3m`) from being selected instead of the desktop browser.
### Changed
- **README**: Updated "Running from Source" section with clear numbered steps, separate x86_64 and ARM64 dependency instructions, and improved QML optional section.
**First Stable Release!** This milestone release marks Pallectrum as production-ready for the Palladium blockchain. After extensive testing and refinement through beta versions (0.9.x), Pallectrum 1.0.0 provides a stable, user-friendly wallet experience with complete rebranding, improved UI/UX, and high-quality visual assets.
### Highlights
- Complete rebranding from Electrum to Pallectrum across all interfaces
- Improved UI/UX for both desktop and mobile platforms
- High-quality icon set refresh with better visual consistency
- Robust build system for Windows, Linux, and Android
- Production-ready stability and performance
### Fixed
#### UI Improvements
**1. Fix(QML): Resolve text overlap in transaction input display**
- **Issue**: Transaction input information (short_id and value) overlapped on small screens or with long identifiers in Android QML interface
- **Solution**: Split transaction input display into two separate rows
- First row: displays input index (#) and short_id with text eliding (Text.ElideRight)
- Second row: displays value amount and unit with left margin indent
- **Impact**: All transaction input information remains visible and readable without UI elements overlapping, especially important for coinbase inputs and transactions with long identifiers
**2. Fix: Update seed dialog window title from Electrum to Pallectrum**
- Changed window title from "Electrum - Seed" to "Pallectrum - Seed" in Wallet > Seed dialog
- Completes branding consistency across desktop Qt interface
#### Branding & References
**3. Fix(constants): Update bug report references to Pallectrum**
- Changed bug report URLs from `spesmilo/electrum` to `palladium-coin/pallectrum`
- Updated "Electrum" to "Pallectrum" in Help > Report Bug dialog text
- Ensures users report issues to the correct repository
#### Build System
**4. Fix(build): Update shortcuts to reference Pallectrum executable**
- Fixed Windows desktop and start-menu shortcuts to use correct executable path
- Updated Windows registry entries for proper application launching
- Ensures shortcuts work correctly after installation
### Changed
#### Visual Assets Refresh
**5. Complete icon set rebuild with improved quality**
- Rebuilt all icon resolutions from 1024px master source for optimal clarity
- Improved scaling quality using NoAura/LoHalo interpolation algorithms
- Enhanced Windows .ico file quality with better anti-aliasing
- Cleaned duplicate assets and aligned icon files across all platforms
- **Result**: Better visual quality on all screen resolutions (desktop, mobile, high-DPI displays)
### Download
Release binaries available at: https://github.com/palladium-coin/pallectrum/releases/tag/v1.0.0
- **Windows Portable**: `pallectrum-1.0.0-portable.exe` (recommended for USB drives)
This release fixes critical build system issues for Linux AppImage reproducibility. Linux builds are new to Pallectrum and were not available in previous versions.
### Fixed
#### 1. Fix: Type2-runtime path resolution for reproducible AppImage builds
**Issue resolved**: Building with `ELECBUILD_COMMIT` failed with "Unable to load provided runtime file" errors.
**Root Cause**:
- Reproducible builds create a fresh git clone for deterministic output
- Type2-runtime binary built in original project directory was inaccessible to fresh clone
- Runtime cache location changed between contexts
**Implemented changes**:
a) **Runtime cache persistence** (`contrib/build-linux/appimage/make_type2_runtime.sh`)
- Changed cache to fixed `$PROJECT_ROOT` location (persists across fresh clones)
- Added validation: file exists AND non-zero size
- Automatic cleanup and rebuild if runtime is corrupted
b) **Runtime transfer for fresh clones** (`contrib/build-linux/appimage/build.sh`)
- Copies pre-built runtime from original project to fresh clone when `ELECBUILD_COMMIT` is set
- Creates directory structure and includes error handling
This release introduces critical bug fixes for the Android QML app and updates to terminology and documentation to reflect Pallectrum instead of Electrum.
### Critical Bug Fixes (Android QML)
#### 1. Fix: Real-time balance updates
**Issue resolved**: The Android app balance was not updating in real-time when transactions received confirmations or when coinbase rewards became mature (120 blocks). Users had to close and restart the app to see the correct balance.
**Root Cause**:
- Missing `balanceChanged` signal emission when a transaction changed height (received blockchain confirmations)
- Missing handler for `blockchain_updated` event that notifies new blocks and coinbase maturation
**Implemented changes**:
a) **Fix for transaction confirmations**
- File: `electrum/gui/qml/qewallet.py:211`
- Added `self.balanceChanged.emit()` in `on_event_adb_tx_height_changed`
b) **Fix for coinbase maturity**
- File: `electrum/gui/qml/qewallet.py:245-250`
- Added new handler `on_event_blockchain_updated()`
