- 🏎 Faster! The device list should now load 30-50% faster for most users. We've also made a handful of other optimizations that should make using the portal even faster!
- 👤 Improve account section! We've completely rebuilt the account section and made it more much more intuitive and faster to load.
- 🧭 Navigation support! We now support URL navigation for all pages so if you reload or bookmark a page you will get sent right back to where you were!
- 🎉 Lots more! We made so many improvements and optimizations that there are too many to list.
