title: "0.7.0"
---
Another year, another major release of Astra!
NOTE: You *must* update Astra to 0.7.0, otherwise login *will* fail as
of the second 7.25 hotfix release. We have a Flatpak build available on
the website.
* Added Steam service account support, only supported in the Flatpak due
to technical limitations
* Improved UX for installing the Steam Compatibility Tool, and also
improved the reliability of the tool itself
* Removed various features such as Sapphire accounts and Gamescope due
to bitrot and lack of use
* Added new options useful for alternative servers
* Prevents your system from sleeping on Linux when the game is playing
or updating
* Added a local Dalamud option for developers that isn't checked for
updates
* Various small UI improvements that make the UI look a lot cleaner
* Fetch avatars from the Lodestone directly instead of XIVAPI
* Improve reliability of the "game has quit" detection used for certain
features
* Various improvements for the Windows version of Astra
* Numerous bugfixes, of course
