0.5.0

See the assets to download this version and install.

This version is not tested yet, please use the version with latest tag on it!

What's changed:

• We are introducing multi-replica plotting with 0.5.x versions. With multi-replica, you will be able to dedicate more space than the blockchain history (the current size of the blockchain).
• external config: now, the user data is stored in an external configuration file, allowing the application to remember user preferences and data even if the user updates the application to a newer version.
• removed the round-icon from top menu bar, to make the app more simplistic. This icon was indicating the network status, but it is also displayed in the dashboard. It was not necessary and confusing for some of the users.
• updated the welcome page
• node name is persistent now (won't change every time you restart the application),
• log files are stored in conventional places for each OS
• CSP is improved and fixed for production
• farmer restart mechanism added (for some reason, if farmer crashes, now the backend code detects it, and restarts the farmer)
