• Testing the DAO on testnet. Not following any formal test cases, but performing exploratory style testing based on knowledge about the DAO I have gained from documentation and from YouTube videos. I did not find any major issues, but identified primarily usability issues.
  Entered the following issues:
  DAO: Submitting proposal, bond, or asset fee took 30 seconds without indicating anything was happening bisq#2082
  DAO: Typo in prompt when attempting to pay asset listing fee and trial period is less than 30 days bisq#2086
  DAO: Inform user that proposals cannot be submitted while not in the proposal phase bisq#2087
  DAO: Dash and Litecoin duplicated in the list of assets within the asset listing fee view bisq#2091
  DAO: Confusing warning when adding more days to asset trial period bisq#2092
  DAO: Need to be able to determine a compensation request came from the actual contributor bisq#2114
  DAO: Withdrawal request prompt for sending BSQ shows incorrect transaction fee bisq#2124

• Resolved a few issues regarding line endings, one that was specifically causing BisqHelpFormatterTest to fail on Windows.
  Normalize line endings bisq#2031
  Handle cli-output_windows.txt with CRLF line endings bisq#2032

• Implemented a script that installs and configures the necessary JDK on Windows, and made a few refinements along the way. This should make the setup process for new Windows devs quick and easy, as well as ensure they are using the proper JDK.
  Add script for easy installation and configuration of the necessary JDK on Windows bisq#2039
  Update install_java.bat bisq#2085
  Fix install_java.bat when setting long PATH environment variable bisq#2131
  Update install_java.bat bisq#2165

• Added the install_java.sh script (which had been removed as part of restructuring done in Revise contributor / developer docs bisq#1924), and updated it to work on a variety of Linux distributions. This should make the setup process for new Linux devs quick and easy, as well as ensure they are using the proper JDK.
  Add install_java.sh bisq#2003
  Consolidate install_java.sh scripts bisq#2055

Contributions in progress

• Continuing to test the DAO on testnet. More exploratory style testing.

  Update windows install experience bisq#2164

• Update Windows packaging process so that it is capable of performing the complete packaging
  process. This will allow anyone running Windows to easily generate their own Bisq installer if they so chose, rather than downloading it.
  Update windows packaging process bisq#2163

• Update Linux packaging process so that it is capable of performing the complete packaging
  process. This will allow anyone running Linux to easily generate their own Bisq installer if they so chose, rather than downloading it.
