Release notes

✨ New features

• Official Bisq mediators and moderators can now be identified by the badge next to their nickname.

• A splitpane to calibrate sizes between offerbook chat and offer list has been added.

🔧 Improvements

• The Bisq Easy protocol has been enhanced to protect against triangular scams. Now, when the buyer does the Fiat transfer, trade ID must be set as "Reason for payment".

• Splash screen now shows the loading progress for each required step: Starting Tor, publishing onion service, connection to P2P network and, finally, data inventory request.

• Trade process improvements:

  • Allow multiple takers to take the same offer of a maker who is offline. Before only the first take offer message was successfully processed and the remaining led to a failure when the maker went online.
  • Add new version for trade ID creation, including the take offer date. This allows that an offer can be taken by the same taker multiple times. This will get activated with June 1st.

• Message delivery improvements:

  • Send message as mailbox message in case no connection to the peer is yet established, which speeds up message delivery and provides better resilience.
  • Send mailbox message in case the node associated with the user profile has not yet published it's onion service. This case could happen specially with multiple user profiles and if Tor is slow/unstable.

• Mediation improvements:

  • Add support for message delivery status with multiple peers in case of mediation.
  • Add new version for mediator selection which includes the offer ID. Now the same pair of traders would always get the same mediator selected. This will get activated with June 1st.
  • Add mediation case details popup (for mediators)
  • Add "remove mediation case" button

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug with trade messages arriving out or order, which led to failed or stuck trades.
• Fixed several issues related to mediation and the mediation request process.
• Fixed bug preventing from taking new offers.

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/Bisq2.app in a terminal (type Terminal in the Apple search box)
• open Bisq2 again

More details can be found here.

Windows

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

• Click the More info button when prompted
• Click the Run anyway button when prompted

More details can be found here.
