Full Changelog: v0.2.2...v0.2.3

Parallax Desktop v0.2.2

This release brings a redesigned main node page and introduces localization to the client.

Changes

• Main node page has been overhauled. The dashboard now displays a world map of connected peers, a peers modal, and wallet status monitoring.
• Added an internationalization system. The client can now run in French, German, Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese, in addition to the existing
  languages.
• Fixed an issue preventing the Hashwarp executable from launching correctly on Windows.
• The Hashwarp terminal window is now hidden on Windows so it does not appear during mining.
• Corrected the download path used when fetching Hashwarp on Linux.
• Updated the release artifact packaging on Windows.

As always, please report any issues you encounter. Contributions and feedback are welcome.

Parallax Desktop v0.2.1

Minor update,

This release addresses several issues that were preventing nodes from running
smoothly across platforms.

What's new

• Windows Defender detection & mining guide — The client now identifies when
  Windows Defender is interfering with GPU mining and presents a clear guide to
  resolve it.
• Native installers for all platforms — Windows (.exe installer), macOS
  (.dmg), and Linux (.AppImage) are now built and shipped automatically with each
  release. Distribution should be simple.

Fixes

• Hashwarp CUDA download — The CUDA binary is now downloaded directly to the
  install folder instead of a temp directory, fixing issues where the miner
  binary would go missing.
• Auto-restart on update — Fixed a bug that prevented the app from properly
  restarting after an update.
• macOS app icon — The application icon now displays correctly on macOS.
• CI pipeline — Resolved build failures on Windows and macOS targets.

Notes

If you are mining on Windows with GPU (CUDA), you may need to add an exclusion
in Windows Defender. The app will now guide you through this process
automatically.

Parallax Desktop v0.2.0

I've been working on a new version of the desktop client. Here's what's changed.

Mining

The desktop client can now mine LAX directly. No command line needed, just configure and start.

• GPU mining: connects to a pool via CUDA or OpenCL through the hashwarp miner. The client detects available GPUs automatically and reports per-device
  statistics: hashrate, temperature, fan speed, power consumption.
• CPU solo mining: mines against the embedded node without relying on a pool. Anyone with a computer can participate.
• Pool management: default pool endpoints are included. Custom pools can be added.
• Hashwarp setup: the GPU miner binary is downloaded and installed on first use. No manual configuration required.

Auto-updates

It's important that nodes stay current. The client now handles this on its own.

• Checks GitHub Releases at startup and every 30 minutes thereafter
• When a new version is found, a small notification appears with the version number and a link to the release notes
• Clicking "Update" downloads the binary, verifies it against SHA256SUMS, and replaces the running executable. A restart applies the update.
• A manual "Check for updates" button is available under Settings for those who prefer not to wait

Fixes

• Resolved a startup failure on Hyprland and other wlroots-based Wayland compositors

Other

• The binary has been renamed to "Parallax Client"
