Version 10.0 Released

Note: wallet binaries from this release have been removed for a critical UI bug. The bug has been fixed in 10.0.1

This release contains countless performance improvements in regards to bootstrapping, synchronization, and resource usage as well as variety of bug fixes and UI improvements. A major overhaul has been done to the underlying synchronization code, which greatly improves the usability of the Nano wallet for the average user.

This release is the precursor to the full UI redesign being released in the very near future. Regardless, it is recommended to upgrade to this version until then for the performance optimizations.
