Moreover, the update says that the new version of Daedalus comes with a number of minor fixes and improvements, coupled with a little change on the stake pools’ page to the way maximum value is calculated:
“The slider on the ‘stake pools’ page now uses the desired number of stake pools to calculate the maximum value. Plus we’ve added numerous smaller fixes and improvements. Existing Daedalus users will receive a newsfeed alert to automatically update Daedalus.”
The report also urged new users to only download Daedalus wallet from the Daedalus official website, to avoid unpalatable eventuality.
