RELEASE INFORMATION

BUILD	NETWORK	PARTICL CORE (MIN VERSION)	MARKETPLACE VERSION
2.3.0	mainnet	0.18.1.6	0.2.6

NEW FEATURES/FUNCTIONALITY ADDED

• Implemented an exchange bot functionality, enabling users to exchange their BTC for PART

ENHANCEMENTS (UPDATES TO EXISTING FEATURES)

• Listing statistics have been added to the marketplace. These are available in the Desktop via the Market tab in the Console modal.
• The cancelling of a bid has been extended to include the buyer's Escrow Pending (the buyer's payment) step: the buyer may now cancel a bid even after making payment, but before the seller has made payment to complete and lock the escrow (which was previously not possible).

UI TWEAKS

• Updated labels and statuses to avoid potential confusion:
  • the 'Buy' menu label has been changed to 'Purchases';
  • the filter state in the buy flow has been updated from 'Escrow Locked' to 'Escrow Pending' to reflect that the escrow payment has only been completed by the buyer and the escrow is still pending the seller's input (to make the escrow complete);
  • status descriptions in the buyflow related to the 'Escrow' step have been updated to reflect when the escrow is actually locked, and when it is still pending.

FIXED ISSUES

• Testnet wallets are now correctly hidden on Windows OS when using the mainnet network.
• Sending of public balance funds to a private address was previously creating a public transaction: this has been fixed so that the sending of funds to a private address always creates an anon transaction instead.
• Fixes an issue in which the 'Awaiting' status of a published template would change to 'Unpublished' if the user restarted the application and viewed the template status before any confirmations on the listing fee transaction had been made.

REQUIREMENTS

• In order to “activate” the open marketplace, the user needs to add a wallet named “Market” (any capitalization would work). The open marketplace is currently only available via the Particl Desktop on this wallet.

NOTES

• There will be an automatic update to the latest supported particl-core version, if applicable, when the marketplace is launched.
• If using an encrypted marketplace wallet, the wallet needs to be unlocked in order to process buy and sell orders on the open marketplace. It is not necessary to unlock the wallet to process or browse listed items.
• The marketplace is still in on-going development, and thus is considered to be a Beta release.
