Update (2017-10-30): the official announcement is here.
This is the first major update after @dan moved on from the BitShares (BTS) project.
The most significant feature in this release is the ability to revive smart-coins aka bit-Assets after black swan events, and the ability to update price feeds, so traders will no longer need to worry about the markets be frozen or unable to settle. There are also some other bug fixes and improvements.
A protocol upgrade (hard fork) is scheduled at 2017-11-27 14:40:00 UTC.

Thanks for all your hard work! It's especially nice to see black swan support.
Winter is always coming, right?

The problem with BTS is I think the friction from centralized exchanges. Expectedly, no centralized exchange will love BTS. And without that there will be no liquidity.
BTS team should heavily invest in atomic swaps to get liquidation directly from other chains.
That is a good idea, sir :)
I tried to use bitshares but not much volume going on there. One thing that cofuses me is the bitusd price. It would be nice if they add a usd price next to it to compare like they do with Bittrex when trading the bsd steem dollar or steem...I'll check it out again see the new features. Thanks for the update
I agree. I've been pushing for comparative prices so people don't have to pull out their calculators to determine whether they are getting a fair trade or not.
That'll be awesome if they do that...I would use it more often
I agree, the strength of bitshares is the decentralized exchange and hardcore cryptocurrency advocates understand that. For bitshares to really take on a larger share of this market we need to improve its user friendliness. The programmers know how to use this platform and have no problem converting prices to real market rates rather than the bit rates but if bitshares hopes to take on top 10 chunks of traffic user friendliness has to be a high priority. Look at Coinbase no one likes their bullshit fees and they are borderline thieves but why do so many people use it? it is quick and easy and can be manipulated with no brain function. Thank you @abit for the update we are making moves in the right direction it just hurts seeing bitshares fall by the day and the likelihood of mass adoption fall with it as players like waves move in to take our market share.
Very well said :)
Cool! I thought you only worked on the Steem blockchain, but apparently you're also one of the core BTS devs. Keep up the good work!
Good work indeed! :)
I'm interested in giving Bitshares a try. Can you recommend the offline wallet or is it best to use the online exchange?
Las dos opciones son buenas, solo recuerda guardar bien tu clave y hacer copia de seguridad ya que si las pierdes no tienes forma de recuperar.
Thank you for sharing
Gratitude!
Thanks @abit for sharing these new features of an amazing DEX platform.
Hi @abit, Can't wait for this:
Steem On!
Hope it does well
I Believe in Bitshares
This is great, decentralized exchange is the future

Corregir errores o fallas, significa una mejoría para el usuario . Constantes cambios y evoluciones ayudan a que funcione un sistema . Que sea completo y de agrado para quienes lo utilizan. Los avances aunque sean pequeños son buenos, porque nos permite un escalón más para el éxito.
