Weekly Dev Update #187

Hi all!

This week the Session team continued their focus on message requests, which is now undergoing QA on all platforms. Session devs also worked on screen rotation for the calls beta which we wanted to test before pushing to a wider audience. The Oxen core team worked on wallet3 related code, pushing hard to get transaction signing squared away. The SOGS team finished up the ID blinding spec, whipping up a mock implementation which will be used as a guide for implementation in Session clients. The Lokinet team focused on testing the fix for the Windows IPv6 leak and putting together working Mac builds bundled with the new Lokinet GUI interface.
