## Release notes This release introduces [BSQ swaps](https://bisq.wiki/BSQ_swaps): an instant, trustless, and cheaper way to exchange BTC with BSQ. It also ships four new payment methods: ACH Transfer, Domestic Wire Transfer, Tikkie and TransferWise-USD. In addition, this release significantly reduces resources necessary for parsing DAO blocks. You’ll find further improvements and bug fixes across the board! ### Improvements - BSQ swaps: [1](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5775), [2](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5729), [3](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5886), [4](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5858), [5](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5889) - [Add payment methods ACH Transfer and Domestic Wire Transfer](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5823) - [Add payment methods Tikkie and TransferWise-USD](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5821) - Optimize DAO charts: [1](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5795), [2](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5855) - [Optimize trade chart view](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5794) - [Extract persistence of BSQ blocks out of DaoStateStore](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5790) - [Improve DAO state monitoring](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5782) - [Improve fee handling](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5826) - [Improve FilterManager](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5854) - [Avoid that outdated donation and fee addresses are used.](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5764) - [Add penalty calculation to dispute agent UI](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5834) - [Option to not repeat popup message of locked up funds from failed trade](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5771) - [Confirm button state for BTC seller to be disabled in mediation](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5808) - [Add “Buy BSQ” button next to trade fee selector](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5055) - [Improve shutdown process](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5905) - [Increase trade protocol timeout from 60 sec to 120 sec](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5904) - [Add Polish translation](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5883) - Improve trade statistics validation: [1](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5853), [2](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5849) ### Bug fixes - [Fix calculation & display of Locked Funds](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5813) - [Fix display of missing Failed Trade tab](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5831) - [Fix blockchain reorg handling](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5819) - [Fix incorrect app initialization](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5817) - [Fix incorrect re-opening of dispute ticket by mailbox message](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5878) - [Prevent NPE in case delayedPayoutTx is not present (failed trade)](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5797) - [Include holder name field for Monese & Satispay accounts](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5791) - [Gracefully handle null data in refresh offer message and log error](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5788) - [Always use fresh address for MULTI\_SIG context to prevent problems with address re-usage when funding](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5885) - [Fix updating of Locked Balance display](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5842) - [Fix Exception in Portfolio History when a canceled offer with a different onion address os displayed](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5842) - [Avoid Log4J “Log4Shell” exploit](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5910) ### Development & Documentation - Upgrade to Gradle 7.3: [1](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5824), [2](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5838), [3](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5839), [4](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5851) - [Small debugging utils](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5818) - [API: Deprecate and replace hard-coded CLI console output formatters](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5812) - [GitHub build: Cache gradle dependencies](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5805) - [Add I2P as enum entry](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5840) - [Update package.gradle: rely on local JDK 15](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5864) ### New Assets - [Changes required for GRIN re-listing](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/5820) > **[Release v1.8.0 · bisq-network/bisq](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases/tag/v1.8.0)** > > A newer version is already available!
