🆕 Web Monitors — track changes to any Web Page, e.g. Facebook Notifications
🆕 Improved flow to add multiple Lite Apps at once: one-click for Lite Apps from Library, and many more options for Create Your Own (monogram, custom icon, colors, etc.)
🆕 Auto Update all Lite Apps from the Hermit Library (no action required to get new features in individual Lite Apps)
🆕 Allow sharing articles to native apps such as WhatsApp and SMS. (Note: installing new native apps is still blocked for your protection)

🆕 Turn off notifications for a particular Lite App from the notification itself
🆕 Option to sync feeds at 15 minute intervals. (Previous options included 5 minutes and 30 minutes)
🆕 Premium users can hide the Help menu, Social Media link, and “Invite Friends” menu
🆕 New setting to skip creating home-screen icons
🆕 Splash screen is less splashy: no app name shown, only the icon
🆕 More accessible sticky buttons in left drawer for Close, Customize, and All Lite Apps
🐞 When a new version is available, don’t notify at every app launch, and show a clear message (say “New version available” instead of “What’s New”)
🐞 Import Lite Apps from content:// URIs correctly on Android Nougat and above
🐞 Reader View now correctly shows the hero image for all articles correctly
🐞 Small fixes to URL editing code (applies to Feeds, Web Monitors, Bookmarks, Sharing, Search, and FAB)
⚡ No more blank white page on Facebook when redirecting to an external site (Hermit resolves Facebook & Google redirects natively)
⚡ Better article parsing for many more sites
⚡ Improved start-up time due to lazy initialization, background database handling
⚡ Merge Settings and About into a single screen with swiping to toggle between them
