Big Changes

Lightning Zaps have been implemented
Direct Messages have been implemented

Relay pages and UX have been completely redone
Storage engine changed from SQLite to LMDB
Fixed numerous caching related bugs (stale data, invalidation issues)
Events that seemed to go missing are no longer missing
HTTP fetching rework
Verifies older cached files haven't changed, else it downloads the changed file (etag)

Not overloading HTTP servers by limiting the number of parallel fetches

Medium Changes

Status messages are in a queue, allowing you to see the last 3
Metadata re-fetched periodically
Events that augment others are loaded only when the event they augment is in view
Settings rework with many more settings

Support for nrelay1, naddr1, 'a' tags
Automatically fetching the referenced objects
Thread searching now includes author's relays
Better shutdown sequence, more likely to shutdown fairly quickly now
