Weekly Dev Update #159

Hey y’all, 

This week we rolled out the mandatory Service Node upgrade — which goes into effect tomorrow, so if you haven’t updated yet: now is the time. The update adds new functionality to the Oxen storage server and squashes a few Lokinet bugs. The Session team released an update which fixed a number of bugs stemming from last week's conversation screen refactor for Android. The Lokinet team continued its work on the macOS changes.
