This is a hotfix that fixes a [startup issue](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5191) with limit offers.

Here are the release notes from v1.5.5:

## Release notes

ATTENTION: This release changes the trade protocol.

**DO NOT specify trade ID or any other value in the ‘reason for payment’ field.  
LEAVE IT BLANK.**

If it is mandatory for your payment service add a dash character (’-’) or coordinate with your counterparty over trader chat to agree on a reason for payment.

This change reduces the chances that certain payment accounts get flagged.  
Please see [Add option to make trade 'reason' less obvious · Issue #2869 · bisq-network/bisq · GitHub](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/2869) for more details on this change.

This release introduces the option to create limit offers to be able to deactivate an offer if a certain price limit is reached. It also introduces cash-by-mail as a new payment method. In addition to multiple minor UI changes, we squashed lots of bugs and improved reliability and performance of the app across the board.
