Particl Market alpha (for testnet only) has been completed and includes the following features:

- Users can start the checkout process by adding shipping details and continuing to the last step where you can order (send a bid) on the items you would like to purchase.
- The favorites tab can be used as a wish list to save items you would like to add to your cart at a later stage.
- Items saved to favorites are available on your return.
Buy Flow
- The buy flow consists of 5 steps where the seller and buyer will follow a pre-defined workflow that takes care of bidding and escrow.
- Bidding – Once the order has been placed the seller will manually accept the bid allowing the escrow process to start.
- Awaiting escrow – On an accepted bid, the buyer is now able to make the payment and lock in escrow.
- Escrow (Lock) – The funds are locked in escrow and the product can be shipped to the buyer.
- Shipping – The order has been shipped and the buyer will mark as delivered on receiving the item, this will automatically release escrow
- Complete – The purchase will be marked as complete and finalize the release of escrow.
Non-Market updates

Particl Desktop 1.1.0
Release Notes
The team spent time fixing bugs, adding new features and streamlining the flow of the GUI. Some pages have been updated to better the user experience. Furthermore, a major restructure effort over the GUI codebase has been completed.
The code is now more modular, less prone to errors and takes advantage of the capabilities that the latest Angular provides. This pre-marketplace code restructuration will enable us to implement features like auto-update and multiwallet in a much better way.
As the marketplace will also be integrated soon, we renamed the software to the simple and beautiful "Particl Desktop". This software is intended to include the wallet, the marketplace, secure chat & more. You can now find it under the particl-desktop repository of the Particl GitHub organization.
Test the Particl Desktop to discover all the other improvements we made, and do not hesitate to point out things we might have overlooked in our inevitable humanity (see below to open issues).
ZAP
The addition of the ZAP functionality will greatly assist in successful cold staking activation*. This feature brings the option to:
- Force (ZAP) that last few PART over to the cold stake address that might take a long time to stake otherwise
- Force (ZAP) funds from small wallets to the cold staking address
- Quickly activate cold staking, by means of sending all funds to the cold staking address in a single transaction
* Take note that the later will be less private. If Privacy is a high concern for you we would suggest allowing the cold staking process the needed time to stake the funds as intended.

Particl Desktop Sandboxed RC5 (Mac & Win only)
Introduction
These builds use Muon instead of Electron. This means that the browser engine now runs within a sandbox, this improves the security against typical browser exploits.
This pre-release is forced to testnet. It does not include a linux version because linux systems do not need to switch to muon as of today.
Testing
Swapping out a framework is a tedious task, we'd really like to get it tested on as many different configurations as possible.
One thing to test thoroughly are the notifications, as we've swapped them out for another library (they were crashing on Electron and unavailable on Muon). To test notifications please run the applications like this:
on Windows:
particl-desktop.exe -devtools
or on Mac:
open -a /Users/YOURUSER/Downloads/particl-desktop.app --args -devtools
Then in the devtools window please execute the following:
window.sendNot('hi', 'hi');
This should create a notification.

Merge pull request #483 from particl/greenkeeper/protractor-5.2.1 Update protractor to the latest version 🚀
v1.0.0 - Particl Wallet Mainnet Release
The first public mainnet release for Particl Wallet is now available.
Particl Wallet will automatically download, install and run the latest daemon from the Particl Core releases during startup.
Since the last testnet release, we have almost entirely rewritten the UI to make use of Angular Material which wasn't as stable when we first started writing the UI, adding 200+ commits.
Thanks to all those who helped with the release!

v0.1.0 - Particl Wallet Testnet release
The first public partgui testnet release is now available.
Please note this is not a stable release, and is currently only built for testnet.
We encourage you to help us test this wallet out and log issues so that we can get
it to a point where it is stable and user friendly.
We have decided to release this on testnet, but anyone who wants to run it on Mainnet can build it from source and it will run.
The Particl Wallet currently uses the daemon from Particl Core v0.15.0.2.
It will automatically download and run it.
Anyone who joined us in a previous testnet will either have to remove their testnet/blocks and testnet/chainstate folder, or run the gui using ./particl -reindex
