Monero has released version 0.18.4.0 of its GUI wallet software, codenamed ‘Fluorine Fermi,’ on April 5, 2025.

The latest release builds upon previous versions with several notable improvements. Users who experienced issues with the “Create Wallet” button getting stuck will find this problem resolved in the new version. The update also fixes testnet wallet detection issues and includes an upgrade to P2Pool version 4.4, enhancing the software’s mining capabilities.
Technical Improvements
The development team has upgraded the Qt framework to version 5.15.16, providing a more stable foundation for the wallet’s graphical interface.

Download and Verification
Users can download the new software from the official Monero Downloads page. The update is available across multiple platforms, with separate binaries for Windows, Mac (both x64 and ARM), and Linux operating systems.
To ensure security, the Monero team has provided SHA256 hashes for verifying downloaded files. Users are encouraged to check these hashes against the GPG-signed list available at the official downloads hash page. Two verification guides are available: one for beginners on Windows and another for advanced users on Linux, Mac, or Windows command line.
A comprehensive guide for the GUI wallet is included in the downloaded archives, with an online version also available for user reference. The complete list of changes can be viewed on GitHub, along with the source code.
