This release fixes Ledger.
What has happened is that Ledger is now restricting the Litecoin app from requesting pubkeys outside of the regular HD paths m/44'/2', m/84'/2' and so on. This is a problem as Electrum requests m/0' for the root fingerprint and m/4541509'/1112098098' for the storage encryption key. The fix is to request m/44'/2'/0' and m/44'/2'/4541509'/1112098098' respectively. Unfortunately this changes the meaning of the root fingerprint and prevents existing Ledger wallet files from being opened (if encrypted).
The upshot is that all Ledger users need to recreate their wallet files.
