As the week ends, let's take a moment to look back at what we've achieved in the past few days and see what we've got to look forward to in the week to come.
BasicSwap 📈
Massive Update is Live 🚀
cryptoguard
Earlier today, we've released a massive BasicSwap update that represents weeks of dedicated effort, incorporating numerous improvements, bug fixes, and new features.
After 112 commits from 6 different contributors, it welcomes Bitcoin Cash and implements several key improvements across all aspects of the platform, including changes to the codebase, the user interface, and to individual coin integrations such as Monero.
Notably, a key technical change is the complete replacement of SQLAlchemy with manbearpigSQL, our custom-built hybrid database system. This transition simplifies BasicSwap's data management processes while solidifying security by eliminating potential vulnerabilities.
This release took most of our time this week as we wrapped up several items for it. For more information and the full changelog, refer to the announcement blog post here.
Dogecoin Integration 🧪
basicswapCommunity contributor Ofrnxmr has begun work on integrating Dogecoin (DOGE) into BasicSwap, independent of today's update.
While this might appear to be a straightforward integration, DOGE's legacy codebase presents several technical challenges that we're currently working to resolve.
We'll continue to provide updates on the progress of this integration as development continues.
BasicSwap Windows Installer 🧙♂️
Although not yet re-released, the installer release remains imminent. There are still a few things to wrap up before the release, and we'll finish up those now that the BasicSwap DEX update has gone live.
However, we want to clarify that this installer is simply a convenience tool to facilitate building BasicSwap DEX from source on Windows. For Windows users, we continue to recommend using the Docker version, which remains our only officially supported Windows implementation. We do not recommend running BasicSwap directly on Windows.
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! 👋
