Release Summary

This major release includes countless optimizations to how Wasabi uses the Tor network, most notably now the Wasabi client uses Tor exit nodes to talk to the backend, greatly improving reliability and increasing the frequency and size of coinjoin rounds. On the home screen is now a privacy progress bar, showing the size of coins and their privacy level. This view can be expanded to see a progress ring, with additional information about the coins. Also included are the usual bug fixes and performance improvements.
