Another week that ends, another progress report sees the day. This week, we've been finalizing both the testing and bug fixing for the upcoming Particl Desktop 3.2.1 release as well as critically approaching launch-readiness for BasicSwap's open beta phase.
So, without further ado, let's jump right into it!
Particl Desktop Progress Report
This week has been spent mostly troubleshooting and fixing some last remaining issues with the intended Particl Desktop 3.2.1 builds. There have been a couple of little issues discovered during testing, although nothing with a major impact at the moment or that is problematic to fix. Indeed, most of them have already been resolved by now.
Ultimately, the testing of the changes has been going well for now. In fact, it is quite likely to be complete, and for Particl Desktop 3.2.1 builds to be released either later today or over the weekend. Because the scope of the back-end changes significant, notably as it deals with dependencies, these will be testnet builds. We highly recommend everyone in the community to give them a try and see if everything runs smoothly, again largely because of the significance of the changes that have gone into it.

BasicSwap 📈
This week, we've upgraded the BasicSwap DEX to work using the latest versions of the Litecoin and Monero cores. This has led to the appearance of a lot of minor and obstructing issues, but this has been successfully resolved.
Additionally, the latest feature upgrade mentioned in our previous update, namely the ability to pick multiple or fractions of orders and to quickly sync the Bitcoin blockchain, are now ready and will be merged to the main repository imminently.
As for the DEX's GUI progress, it's been going very well and we're finally nearing its completion. Once that is complete, we'll run one final internal testing round along with the closed beta group and will be ready to release the open beta publicly right after!
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! 👋
