1.0rc1 aka Release Candidate 1 - 2021-02-18

Added

• This is the first release in our release candidate series. There are still a few things that will change at the edges but the blockchain, clvm, and chialisp are in release form. We have one major change to chialisp/clvm that we have chosen to schedule for the next release as in this release we're breaking the way q/quote works. We also have one more revision to the VDF that will decrease the sizes of the proofs of time. We expect a few more releases in the release candidate series.
• Installers will now be of the pattern ChiaSetup-0.2.1.exe. 0.2 is release candidate and the final .1 is the first release candidate.
• Use 'chia wallet get_transactions' in the command line to see your transactions.
• 'chia wallet show' now shows your wallet's height.
• Last Attempted Proof is now above Latest Block Challenge on the Farm page of the GUI.
• The GUI now detects duplicate plots and also only counts unique plots and unique plot size.
• We have integrated with crowdin to make it easier to translate the GUI. Check out Chia Blockchain GUI there.
• We have added Italian, Russian, and Finnish. More to come soon.
• There is now remote UI support. Documents will temporarily live in the repository but will move to the wiki shortly. Thanks to @dkackman for this excellent addition!
• Added the ability to specify an address for the pool when making plots (-c flag), as opposed to a public key. The block
  validation was changed to allow blocks like these to be made. This will enable changing pools in the future, by specifying a smart transaction for your pool rewards.
• Added chia plots check --challenge-start [start] that begins at a different [start] for -n [challenges]. Useful when you want to do more detailed checks on plots without restarting from lower challenge values you already have done. Huge thanks to @eFishCent for this and all of the debugging work behind the scenes confirming that plot failures were machine errors and not bugs!

Changed

• Sub blocks renamed to blocks, and blocks renamed to transaction blocks, everywhere. This effects the RPC, now
  all fields that referred to sub blocks are changed to blocks.
• Base difficulty and weight have increased, so difficulty of "5" in the rc1 testnet will be equivalent to "21990232555520" in the previous testnet.
• 'chia wallet send' now takes in TXCH or XCH as units instead of mojos.
• Transactions have been further sped up.
• The blockchain database has more careful validation.
• The GUI is now using bech32m.

Fixed

• We updated chiapos to hopefully address some harvester crashes when moving plot files.
• Many of the cards on the Farming page have had bugs addressed including last block farmed, block rewards, and user fees.
• Improved validation of overflow blocks.
