This is great news! Thanks you vey much for your good work, Tonych!
I am very surprised about the speed of the new features Byteball releases.
I am not yet that skilled about the technology but I try to learn. When I understand correctly, then conditional payments are like smart contracts, right? It is just another name for it isn't it?

Version 1.5 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

It's the biggest update since the launch.  It enables conditional payments, which allow you to P2P exchange bytes vs blackbytes since today.  Much more in the next releases.

Read my Medium article about making P2P great again https://medium.com/byteball/making-p2p-great-again-fe9e20546a4a#.i6kj1ug99

Note that to bind your payment to a condition you must be connected in chat with the payee and click his address or accept a payment request.

Other updates in this release:
* Fixed frequent disconnects that might affect sync speed
* Small performance optimizations
* Multiple small bugs fixed

Please upgrade.  The wallet might start a bit longer than usual the first time after the upgrade, this is because it needs to upgrade the database, be patient.  

Be prepared for bugs since it is a big update (I guess you are already used to expecting this when you are into something new).
