Version 1.8.0 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases

In this release:

1. Option to save chat history. It is done in the most privacy-centric way: chat history is saved only if both parties agree, and the setting can be changed in the middle of the conversation.  If at least one of the parties doesn't want the history to be saved, it is discarded when the app is closed (of course it can still be saved manually by copying and pasting).


2. Push notifications for chats / received payments on Android.  What's important, even alternative hubs can send push notifications, which makes us even better decentralized than Signal.  Alternative hub operators, please follow instructions at https://github.com/byteball/byteball-hu ... or-android to enable push for your clients.



3. Ability to remove chat correspondents unless they are part of a multisig address or smart contract (thanks @vakar!)

4. Improved French and Portuguese translations

5. Fixed a validation bug that caused crashes while syncing for many users.

Because of the above bugfix, upgrade is mandatory for all full clients.

I am happy to say that 2 of 5 above items were contributed by community members.

Version 1.8.1 released https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases.

This is a bugfix release.
* Fixed a rare validation error that could cause a crash
* Fixed handling of responses from malfunctioning peers, this could cause sync to stall
* Fixed a crash when starting a light client for the first time
* Fixed a crash when opening chat on some old Android phones
* Other small bugfixes and improvements

[CryptKeeper]

Sorry for frequent upgrades, a new bug popped up yesterday and is fixed now, please update if you are running a full client https://github.com/byteball/byteball/releases.

It was a validation error that needs to be fixed in two steps to minimize disruption.  This is step 1, step 2 will follow after most full nodes upgrade.

Also since this release, the node automatically clears old log data to save some space (thanks @portabella!).

The update is mandatory for all full nodes (both GUI and headless).
