Particl Core 0.17.0.1 and Desktop 1.3 are released

This is a new major version release, including new features, various bugfixes and performance improvements, as well as updated translations.

-includeconf=<file> can be used to include additional configuration files. Only works inside the particl.conf file, not inside included files or from command-line. Multiple files may be included.

Block storage can be limited under Preferences, in the Main tab. Undoing this setting requires downloading the full blockchain again. This mode is incompatible with -txindex and -rescan.

Previously, wallets could only be loaded or created at startup, by specifying -wallet parameters on the command line or in the particl.conf file. It is now possible to load, create and unload wallets dynamically at runtime.

When an address is paid multiple times the coins from those separate payments can be spent separately which hurts privacy due to linking otherwise separate addresses. A new -avoidpartialspends flag has been added (default=false). If enabled, the wallet will always spend existing UTXO to the same address together even if it results in higher fees. If someone were to send coins to an address after it was used, those coins will still be included in future coin selections.

Version 1.3 of Particl Desktop has actually been in the wild for a little over a week but we were postponing announcing it until the latest Particl Core was officially released.

Most of the changes from Desktop v1.2.3 to v1.3 are cosmetic or bug/issue related. Most important — just like the previous version — users of Desktop v1.3 will see an upgrade to the latest Particl Core (0.17.0.1) automatically on restart.
