title: 'LBRY v0.19 Is Shifting Into High Gear'
date: '2017-12-11 12:45:00'

We've heard two requests from our community over and over again: make it easier to get LBC, and let users subscribe to their favorite creators.
With that in mind, the newest LBRY update should be a crowd-pleaser! Channel subscriptions are live, and we've integrated [ShapeShift](https://shapeshift.io) to allow users to easily convert popular cryptos into LBC without leaving the app.
You'll find all this (and a lot more) in LBRY v0.19 - **[get it here](https://lbry.io/get)** and check out the full release notes below.

## Release Notes
### Added
* [Subscriptions](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/issues/715). File and channel pages now show a subscribe button. A new "Subscriptions" tab appears on the homepage shows the most recent content from subscribed channels.
* [LBC acquisition widget](https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/issues/609). Convert other popular cryptos into LBC via a ShapeShift integration.
* [Flow](https://flow.org/) static type checking. This is a dev-only feature, but will make development faster, less error prone, and better for newcomers.
### Changed
* The first run process for new users has changed substantially. New users can now easily receive one credit.
* The wallet area has been re-organized. Send and Receive are now on the same page. A new page, "Get Credits", explains how users can add LBRY credits to the app.
* Significant structural changes to code organization, packaging, and building. The app now follows a typical electron folder structure. All 3 package.json files have been reduced to a single file. Redux related code was moved into its own subfolder.
* The macOS docking icon has been improved.
* The prompt for an insufficient balance is much more user-friendly.
* The credit balance displayed in the main app navigation displays two decimal places instead of one.
* Video download error messages are now more understandable.
* Windows path to the daemon/CLI executables changed to: C:\Program Files (x86)\LBRY\resources\static\daemon
### Deprecated
* We previous had two separate modals for insufficient credits. These have been combined.
### Fixed
* Long channel names causing inconsistent thumbnail sizes.
* Channel names in pages are highlighted to indicate them being clickable.
* Fixed the transaction screen not loading for brand new users.
* Fixed issues with scrolling and back and forward navigation.
* Fixed sorting by title for published files.
* App now uses the new balance_delta field provided by the LBRY API.
* Abandoning from the claim page now works.
