🎉 What's New in v2.0.25 🎉

🔐 Security and dependency updates

This release includes several security-focused updates and hardening improvements.

• Fixed a vulnerability in Tmds.DBus.Protocol.
• Hardened URL opening on Linux and macOS to avoid shell command interpretation when opening links.
• Improved installer hash verification to handle signed checksum files more reliably.
• Updated the bundled Tor components from 0.4.8.13 to 0.4.8.21, following the upstream Wasabi update.

🧅 Tor reliability and maintenance

The bundled Tor update refreshes the Tor binaries and related GeoIP data used by Ginger Wallet. This keeps the embedded privacy network stack current while preserving the same privacy-by-default behavior.

Ginger continues to route network requests over Tor for improved privacy.

🧪 Cleaner deterministic build process

Ginger Wallet already used deterministic build settings, pinned SDK configuration, centralized package management, and lock files. This release cleans up the build environment further, especially around dependency/package generation, making the release build process easier to verify and maintain.

This work follows up on the independent reproducibility review from WalletScrutiny and helps make future release verification clearer and less dependent on local environment differences.

🔌 Hardware wallet detection improvements

Hardware wallet detection was made more robust by filtering out failed HWI enumerate entries. This helps avoid noisy or invalid device responses interfering with wallet detection.
