As we conclude the week, it is time to review the progress that has been made in the past few days. Let us take a moment to evaluate the advancements achieved in the past few days.
Particl Desktop 💻️
We're still completing the items outlined in our previous updates, namely including enhancing Tor server capabilities and making a variety of minor improvements.
Please note, however, that we are currently observing a delay that is impacting the the development process of Particl Desktop which we hope to resolve shortly.
Particl Core 🔗
As always, we consistently stay up-to-date with Bitcoin's latest version by regularly incorporating upstream updates into Particl Core. You can monitor these changes by visiting this link.

BasicSwap 📈
Although we've made headway with both the installer and the upcoming user interface update this week, we've observed slower-than-usual progress on BasicSwap due to one of our developer falling ill and recovering for most of the week.
Consequently, the status of the following two items remains largely unchanged from last week.
Installation Wizard 🧙
We are still busy working on a few fixes and improvements to the BasicSwap installation wizard following community testing and feedback. These changes will be included in upcoming versions of the installer for the available platforms.
Additionally, we are currently running tests for MacOS and Linux versions of the installer so that users on these operating systems can also enjoy the simplicity brought by the installer.
Note that, because most users that had issues installing and setting up BasicSwap DEX were on Windows, we opted to focus on providing an installer for that platform first. That being said, be reassured that we are fully committed to releasing versions for other platforms as well and are presently working on it.
User Interface 🖥️
We've also made some progress on the upcoming BasicSwap user interface update. At this point, we find ourselves in the wrap up phase of the 2.1 GUI update as we test the changes to ensure no bugs or unexpected behaviors are encountered and clean up the code prior to merging it on the public Github repository.
As we've mentioned last week, we do not expect new items to be added to the upcoming 2.1 release, other than what's already been mentioned in previous updates (see here) as we're satisfied with the current changelog and are eager to start working on new, exciting development projects for both BasicSwap and Particl Marketplace, which we're almost ready to announce and detail shortly on our blog with a series of articles.
As always, we thank you immensely for your passion and dedication to Particl and what it's working towards achieving. None of it would be possible without you all!
We wish you a great weekend we'll see you all back on Monday! 👋
