Frigate v1.2.0 has been released.
Frigate is an experimental Electrum server testing efficient Silent Payments scanning with ephemeral keys.
The major feature in this release is GPU acceleration of the cryptographic computation required for Silent Payments scanning. This provides a dramatic (over 10x) performance improvement over CPU computation, and makes a public Silent Payments Electrum server a practical reality for the first time.

Silent payment addresses are a new form of static payment address, where the actual bitcoin address that you send to is determined from both the silent payment address and the transaction inputs.
This means you can pay to the same silent payments address while ensuring bitcoin addresses are never reused. This both simplifies the payment experience and makes it more private, at the cost of increasing the burden on the recipient to scan incoming transactions for their payments.

Announcing Frigate.
Frigate is an experimental Electrum server testing efficient Silent Payments scanning with ephemeral client keys.
Note that Frigate is currently a proof of concept for supporting Silent Payments on Electrum servers, and not a replacement for Electrs, Fulcrum etc.

Introducing Lark.
Lark is a Java port of HWI, a library used by many wallets to communicate over USB with with hardware wallets like @npub19ca…qj29 , Ledger, Trezor, @npub1tg7…cxmt and @npub1jg5…6n8n Jade.
HWI is a good example of the ‘single dependency’ situation in the famous xkcd comic. Until now, there has been no project like it.
However, with all the wealth stored on hardware wallets (especially those that can only communicate over USB) it's important to have multiple implementations. Lark represents the first complete reimplementation of all common USB HWW clients in a language other than Python.
Even though HWW manufacturers have used a dizzying array of different communication protocols and standards, Lark seeks to be identical to the HWI API, providing direct interchangeability and a more robust ecosystem.
All common commands are supported, and there is some additional functionality, such as retrieving a wallet registration from Ledger devices to avoid re-registration on every signing.
Lark is available as a command line application, and as a Java library for JVM-based applications. Hardware wallet manufacturers are invited to test their devices before it's integrated into Sparrow Wallet.
See https://github.com/sparrowwallet/larkapp for docs and binaries.

Try turning off Prevent Computer Sleep in the Tools menu. There are other applications you can use to achieve this functionality, or better yet run Sparrow Terminal for background mixing without the need to keep your desktop awake.
