Wavebox had a secret disco mode! You could sometimes trigger this
when interacting with Groups that are in split screen, and you'd see tabs
switching every half a second or so. Fun as disco mode was, it was actually a
bug and not a feature. So the Wavebox dev team have been party-poopers and
shut the disco down.
- Dragging apps into the Webdock and creating a group was broken, fix this.

Fix an issue where the "This tab is sleeping" or "Add your first tab to the group"
screen would end up in error.

Brand new template sharing. Send one or more groups and passwords to a friend

with someone who doesn't have Wavebox this can help them get setup quickly; when

ready to go! To give it a try, right-click on any group and use the "Share this group"
option 🛫
