Changed

• Bumped daemon version to improve error logging

Minor daemon upgrade to improve error logging.

Added

• Added a tipping button to send LBRY Credits to a creator. Credits sent in this way come in to the wallets of creators as supporting claims for the content that was tipped.
• Added an edit button on published content. Significantly improved UX for editing claims (but more to do).
• Added theme settings option and new Dark theme.
• Added a new component for rendering dates and times. This component can render the date and time of a block height, as well.

Changed

• Significantly more detail is shown about past transactions and new filtering options for transactions.
• File pages now show the time of a publish.
• The "auth token" displayable on Help offers security warning
• More form refactoring, including the addition of a barebones Form component (further progress towards form sanity).
• CSS significantly refactored to support CSS vars (and consequently easy theming).

Fixed

• URLs on cards will now show an ellipsis if longer than one line
• Added gnome-keyring dependency to .deb (#386)
• Fixed some issues with invites (#552)
• Pressing enter on forms will no longer cause weird app behavior (#542)

Note: This release contains an upgrade that cannot be quickly reversed. Please do not install this RC on top of existing versions if you want to be able to return to 0.15.x.

• Changed Wallet landing page to summarize status of other areas. Refactored wallet and transaction logic.
• Added icons to missing page, improved icon and title logic.
• Changed the default price settings for priced publishes.
