New features include:
- "Submarine Payments": onchain payments from the lightning balance through a swap (desktop only)
- Optional biometric authentication (e.g. Fingerprint) on Android
- Manual fee edit on Android (e.g. allowing for sub-1sat/b tx)
- LNURL-Withdraw: Allows scanning QR codes to receive funds on lightning (e.g. Vouchers)
And of course many other improvements under the hood. Find the full changelog on github: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spesmilo/electrum/refs/heads/master/RELEASE-NOTES

It's cool that this guy is still cranking away after all this time, though I never hear of anyone using Electrum anymore.
Use it for all L1 hot and cold.
Found LN not so easy to use on Electrum so I use Coinos for that.
Linux + Electrum + Coinos = ease of use and security.
Just don't leave too many sats on coinos.
May I ask what issues you encountered when trying LN in Electrum?
Yes I had to create channels but the funds seemed to disappear and I gave up.
Probably requires more effort than I took or maybe now it is easier?
But coinos makes LN very easy even if not self custodial.
I use it :)
That's a data point, then :)
Just because you do not want to hear, it doesn't mean nobody is using it.
