The [Bitshares NFT Viewer application](https://github.com/BTS-CM/NFT_Viewer/releases) is a tool which enables viewing featured NFTs, NFT portfolios (balances), NFTs issued by a Bitshares account, an NFT search system and a favourite account/asset system.

Since the recent developments to the [Bitshares Airdrop Tool](https://github.com/BTS-CM/airdrop_tool/releases) and [Bitshares NFT Issuance Tools](https://github.com/BTS-CM/Bitshares_NFT_Issuance_Tool/releases), this tool has required some improvements to uplift it to their level of quality.

So let's get into what's new in [version 1.8.0](https://github.com/BTS-CM/NFT_Viewer/releases)!

There's a new look to the [Bitshares NFT Viewer](https://github.com/BTS-CM/NFT_Viewer/releases)! Check it out!

### v1.8.0 Release notes:

* Switched to a multi-page app architecture from a single-page app, utilizing the react-router-dom package to enable navigation between pages.
* New pages: Frequently asked questions, configurable nodes
* UX improvements throughout the app - helping buttons to navigate between pages, going back, refreshing, etc.
* Fix rendering acknowledgments on the NFT page
* Cache NFT data and non NFT asset IDs - results in faster duplicate lookups, avoiding querying the blockchain unnecessarily.
* Added an IPFS gateway button dropdown to switch between several possible IPFS gateway URLs
* Add new Featured NFTs
*  Optimize API connections - properly close connections when finished querying the blockchain.
* Various package version updates
* NFT media zoom button introduced - view the media up close!
