2018-04: GNU Taler v0.5.0 released

We are happy to announce the release of GNU Taler v0.5.0. The main new feature is customer tipping, which allows merchants to pay small rewards directly into a customer's wallet. Technical improvements include numerous performance improvements and bug fixes, as well as a new, simpler to use API for merchants that also enables the implementation of GNU Taler wallets on platforms that do not support WebExtensions.

The Chrome and Chromium wallets are available for download via the App store. The exchange, merchant backend and bank components are on the GNU FTP mirrors.
