This release contains a large number of changes, most of which are simply functional improvements, or only relevant to testers/developers, but a couple of things are to be particularly noted: the move of user data to $HOME/.joinmarket, the fact that Python2 is deprecated as of this release, new modes of blockchain (non)-access, and new default IRC server connections. Upgrade is strongly recommended, as usual.
For existing users, be sure to add this new server to your joinmarket.cfg if it isn't added automatically:
