Bisq is always looking for talented developers, designers, and security experts to help drive our mission forward. If you're passionate about decentralization and interested in contributing to Bisq’s roadmap, there are many ways to get involved-we’d love to hear from you!

We recently launched the Bisq Hackathon to tackle impactful challenges. Even though the event has ended, you can still browse the hackathon page for insights into the open areas Bisq is currently exploring.

Changelog:

- Fix display issues during pairing on smaller screens

- Fix crashes on iPad

- Fix crash when opening offer alert notifications.

- Prevent adding duplicate notifications when opening app from an iOS notification.

- Do not attempt to load/display current BTC price from bitcoinaverage.com when viewing offer alert notifications. This is a potential privacy concern for some users as it would likely be loaded over clearnet and it is not necessary.

- Display an alert prompt prior to loading web pages - to prevent accidentally loading bisq.network pages potentially over clearnet which may be a privacy concern for some users.
