Qubes OS 4.3.2 stable lands amid a 24-release volume day

Qubes OS 4.3.2 is the one structural release on the wire, a stable cut landing inside a Privacy beat otherwise stacked with routine client bumps from Bitwarden and a GrapheneOS factory image. AI posted nine releases and none ship new models, mostly coding-tool and agent-SDK point updates (Qwen Code, Cline Desktop, llama.cpp, Claude Agent SDK). Bitcoin's five items are incremental: Phoenix and Bitcoin Keeper bug fixes, Ledger Live's matched mobile/desktop version bump, and a Payjoin Dev Kit interface change. Nostr and Self-hosting round out the day with single-digit point releases, no security advisories attached to either.

Bitcoin#

Phoenix 2.8.4. Bug fix release only; no action implied beyond routine update.
Payjoin Dev Kit Release 1.2.0. Adds a non-blocking receiver state machine interface; relevant for integrators building async Payjoin receivers.
Bitcoin Keeper 2.5.16. Fixes an Ask Keeper UI bug where content could leak across tabs or block tab switching.
Ledger Live Mobile 4.23.0. Minor changes only; check changelog before updating hardware-wallet companion app.
Ledger Live Desktop 4.23.0. Matches the mobile 4.23.0 bump; minor changes only.

Nostr#

Mostro Mobile 1.5.0. New version of the Mostro P2P Bitcoin trading app; check changelog for trade-flow changes.
nostream 3.2.0. Minor release; check changelog if self-hosting a Nostr relay on this codebase.

Privacy#

Qubes OS 4.3.2. Stable release; dom0 and template operators should plan the upgrade path from 4.3.x.
Bitwarden Android Authenticator 2026.9.1. Includes a password-mask fix and master-password hashing change; routine update.
Bitwarden iOS Authenticator 2026.9.1. PM-32153 Split master password authentication/unlock data in register-finish request; PM-37877 Implement SDK KM state bridge.
Bitwarden iOS Password Manager 2026.9.1. Clearer password-generator actions plus the same auth-data split as the iOS Authenticator release.

Self-hosting#

Immich 3.3.0-rc.2. Release candidate, not stable; hold off on production photo-server upgrades.
Actual Budget 26.10.0. Desktop builds may lag on Microsoft Store; direct download gets the update faster.
