### What's New at LBRY? {#news}
#### Desktop and lbry.tv
Since our last release, the team has been working to polish up the sign in process, publishing, and syncing on lbry.tv. This includes the ability to sync encrypted accounts from previous Desktop installations or Android - users will be prompted for their password which may have been set either on their Android device or encrypted Desktop wallet. By default, the passwords will be cached for 2 weeks and users will be re-prompted.

With the next SDK update, well also have the ability to track content purchases at the transaction level. This means you can purchase content on one device and play it back on another. This will also give new insight into content purchasing on both the receiver and purchaser - the transaction history will now show what claim was associated with it. We also plan to create a separate section in the My Library section to filter on paid vs unpaid content.
You may have also noticed that lbry.tv had a facelift in terms of color scheme and other minor design elements - this will be coming to the next Desktop release. You can now also view PDF, markdown, text, html, and other documents files on the web. We now also show the profile picture associated with comments on content/channel pages. Lastly, we've fixed up a few bugs related to channel pages not showing any content - please let us know if you see any issues!
We are also adding an autostart option to the LBRY app so users can benefit from it launching automatically on startup. This will allow faster access of content when coming across a URL and help support the LBRY network by hosting data in the background.

#### SDK
On the SDK side of the house, weve shipped updates bringing numerous new features and bug fixes to support cross device syncing scenarios that are currently used by the apps and lbry.tv.
