+UnstoppableSwap GUI [v1.0.0-rc1](https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/unstoppableswap-gui/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc.1). If you are running an ASB: please upgrade as soon as possible. The update has already been rolled out to GUI users. They will not be able to initiate swaps with you until you do, since it introduces breaking changes on the network level.
