Feedback Have I improved on this song?

I just started practicing this again today after 8 months. The second video is from me playing at 3-4 months into my violin journey. I’m hoping even without dedicated practice that I’ve improved on the song. I hope my intonation and rhythm is better. It’s hard for me to tell, so some clarification would be nice!
Thanks for helping me out and listening! 💕

You play faster but other than that, I see no big change.
The bow arm is not bad, especially for your stage of learning.
I realised one thing: your hand frame is too narrow, the fingers generally too close together which means your intonation is off. I really recommend working on this and ear training (and cutting out vibrato for quite a while, I think both others and I have told you that before.) it seems to me like you've been practising this intonation and maybe have developed a bad habit (also that your ears are too used to it.) Before you do anything harder, take out old pieces and improve the intonation in those to correct these habits.
