Since the release of 1.9.2, we've been focusing on making the app as stable as possible while introducing small quality of life improvements as we gear up towards Canvid 2.0. Whilst a lot of these fixes have been pushed live without the need of an app update, I've included them in the patch notes for 1.9.3 so that it's easier to see what's changed.
