SSB-DB2

This release updates ssb-browser-core to 6.0.0 which features ssb-db2. This also includes a vastly upgraded jitdb so queries and much simpler now.

Rooms support

This makes ssb browser demo behave a lot like other clients by using ssb conn for connections to multiple peers and rooms support for p2p connections. The log format has changed from flumelog-aligned-offset to the faster async-flumelog. A manual upgrade is needed.

Faster initial sync

Upgrade browser core for much faster initial sync

Minor fixes

Lots of tiny fixes to make the client a lot more usable

Partial replication

This version is a major rewrite of the core module that underpins the ssb browser demo. The database backend has been rewritten to use jitdb and a custom single index optimized for performance. This allows one to get much closer to a normal ssb client, where you download the full contact graph including blocked contacts and about messages for profiles.

This release adds backlinks on messages and showing forks of threads. Furthermore it properly handles blocked contacts.

Sadly this also means that peer invites had to go, for now at least. I have also removed the collaboration feature, mostly because it was a fun experiment and didn't want the client to become a big kitchen sink of features.

Fix Chrome

Fix for Chrome not saving data

Add collaboration feature

As a host, one can start a session where multiple people can collaborate on a document together and export the document as markdown (to be posted on ssb).
