binarybaron releases 'full rewrite' of UnstoppableSwap GUI

binarybaron1 has released UnstoppableSwap GUI2 and xmr-btc-swap3 version 1.0.0-rc.14 with breaking changes on the network level:

This release is a full rewrite of the GUI. It includes breaking changes on the network level. This means you will not be able to swap with providers who have already updated, until you upgrade the GUI as well. This release includes a lot improvements on different layers of the stack (UI, networking, …). You should see a lot more swaps being completed successfully!

Changes overview

* Breaking network protocol change: The libp2p version has been upgraded to 0.53
* Breaking change: Increased Bitcoin refund window from 12 hours (72 blocks) to 24 hours [..]
* GUI: Release .app builds for Darwin
* ASB: We now retry indefinitely to lock Monero funds until the swap is cancelled 
* CLI: --change-address can now be omitted [..]

The complete changelog and binarybaron’s GPG signing key are available on Github5.

It is worth mentioning that all development and releases have been moved to the UnstoppableSwap/core6 repository.

Consult the docs7 and the associated CCS proposal8 to learn more about the BTC-XMR cross-chain atomic swaps project.

Note: it is recommended to complete all pending swaps before upgrading. Join #unstoppableswap-core9 on Matrix to follow project development.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.

Update: 1.0.0-rc.2 available10.
