 # Changelog
 
+## v1.7.113-alpha (2026-07-25)
+
+- Fixed a money bug in Cashu ecash sends: the token you handed a recipient could carry your own change proofs along with it, letting the same sats be credited twice. Change now stays in your wallet — only the amount you meant to send leaves it.
+- Closing a Lightning channel is no longer a leap of faith. The close used to hang (or time out with an error) even though it had actually gone through; it now comes back within seconds with the closing transaction ID. Channels mid-close appear in the channel list as Closing or Force-closing with their transaction attached, and a new closed-channels history keeps past closes visible instead of letting them vanish from the list.
+- The wallet card now leads with your total bitcoin across everything, and the on-chain balance gets its own chain icon so the rows read at a glance.
+- The companion phone app (0.5.15) connects dramatically faster away from home: a cold connect over 5G dropped from 40+ seconds to about 5. First connects no longer stall on unreachable mesh dial hints, fresh joins fail fast and retry instead of waiting out long timeouts, and the phone re-announces itself the moment the network around it changes. The node side's mesh-join handling was hardened to match.
+
 ## v1.7.112-alpha (2026-07-23)
 
 - Sound works on TVs out of the box. Fresh installs were missing the audio system entirely, and even when present a boot-time race left HDMI silent until the cable was unplugged and replugged. Both are fixed: installer images now ship the full audio stack, and a small background helper detects the silent-HDMI state and heals it automatically.
