This is a hotfix release that applies the upstream BitcoinJ fix for the chainwork bug. The bug caused Bisq to stall at block height 928,895 because the field used to store the accumulated proof of work was too small.
Because the Bisq 1 release manager was unavailable during the Christmas holidays, another developer (Henrik Jannsen)—whose PGP signing keys were not yet included in the Bisq 1 application—performed the release. As a result, users will see a verification error when updating via the in-app update tool. You can manually verify the binaries by following the instructions in the Bisq Wiki. Henrik Jannsen, who is the release manager for Bisq 2, will now also be added as a release manager for Bisq 1.
If you experience any wallet-related issues, you may perform an SPV resync, although this should not be necessary.
Installation
macOS
Bisq does not use Apple's notarization process (see why).
For that reason you will see that (misleading) alert:
Grant permissions by:
- run
sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Bisq.appin a terminal (type Terminal in the Apple search box) - open

Windows
For similar reasons you will get that warning at Windows: Windows protected your PC
