ARK Desktop Wallet Update v2.3.1 — Better Support for ARK Deployer Chains

Following the latest release of the ARK
Deployer
comes yet another update for the ARK Desktop Wallet! This update specifically
addresses those using the ARK Deployer and targets some of the problems
encountered with the previous wallet version. Of course we also slipped in some
performance boosts for better loading times as well, but on to the most
important fix in this version.

Although we released v2.3 Desktop wallet just last week, there were several
reported problems that needed to be addressed when using it along with the ARK
Deployer. When new custom deployed chains were added they were not interacting
properly with the Desktop Wallet. These problems have been fixed and all custom
bridgechains launched using Deployer should now be able to interact with the ARK
Desktop Wallet without any issues.

The new wallet is available for download at:

Some of the other improvements are related to performance boosts resulting in
faster loading times:

• Caching rendered pages that are not tied to the current session profile —
  now caching the pages that have been visited and are not tied to the current
  profile and don’t change when switching profiles (announcements, networks,
  profiles).
• Saving regular and Ledger wallets at once instead of dispatching multiple Vuex
  actions — re-coded the wallet action of the synchronizer service to save the
  fetched data of each wallet in 1 Vuex commit on the wallet store and 1 commit
  on the ledger store. This has reduced the processing time from ~3000–6500ms to
  500–2500ms, in return making the UI less laggy.
• **Caching all the pages that do not use a parametrized URL **— caching all the
  pages that don’t depend on parameters of the URL as in those cases the URL is
  the same. With this it is possible to keep alive the component (1 component name
  is bound to 1 route name).

And other fixes and features:

• **Truncate the transaction block ID on the transaction show modal if necessary
  **— The block ID is going to change to sha256 in the upcoming Core v2.3, so in
  some cases, it will be too long to display it on the transaction show modal.
• Enable the translation of empty transaction table message —if another
  language is chosen some message translations were not working.
