2.7.7.20180906 -- 06 September, 2018 by SilentVault

Highlights:

Upgrades to SilentVault plugin version 0.7.3 and SVM-ABC plugin version 0.2.6, which are mandatory.
Support for Java-8u181, which is bundled in the Mac version. Note that Spark 2.7.7 also runs with Java-7u181.

2.7.7.20180328 -- 28 March, 2018 by SilentVault

This version is an update to the 20170314 build, also based on Spark 2.7.7.

Highlights:

Upgrades to SilentVault plugin version 0.7.2 and SVM-ABC plugin version 0.2.5, which are mandatory.

2.7.7.20170314 -- 14 March, 2017 by SilentVault

This version is an augmented Spark 2.7.7 based on custom modifications to the standard source base made by SilentVault.com.

Highlights:

Reworked login screen to handle both private and public networks, along with both identified and anonymous users.
Support for connecting to XMPP servers which are behind PageKites.
More robust support for anonymous user handles, without logging spurious errors.
Integration of Voucher-Safe wallets, SilentVault Exchange trading operations, and SilentVault Marketplaces, by means of the silentvault.jar plugin (included).
Provision of a demo SilentVault Marketplace app, the ABC game, by means of the svm-abc.jar plugin (included).
Upgrade to Jive Software's Smack 3.4.1 XMPP client library.
Support for plugin versioning, with user option to download newer revisions from a plugin repository, which can be overridden by users.
SilentVault branding, including the alternate plugin repository.
Restricted the list of available themes, as some of them cause crashes, especially in SilentVault wallet plugins. Made Nimbus the default look and feel.
Made a fix to the Roar plugin which prevents crashes on Linux.
In the OTR plugin, added capability to delete an existing pubkey, as a side-effect of unverifying it. (Absent this there is no way to accommodate another user who has regenerated their key.)
Removed the Google and Translator plugins from the standard distro list, as these are no longer functional. (Translator is also antithetical to the use of OTR.)
