Weekly Dev Update #186

Hi all!

This was a big week for Session, with global search rolling out across all platforms, alongside some significant UI changes for mobile devices and general quality of life upgrades on all platforms. The Lokinet team now has a test build patching the IPv6 leak on Windows and is making a concerted effort to fix Lokinet for Mac for an upcoming release. The core team fixed a few tests which were failing with Service Node batching, and continued working on wallet3. SOGS also got some significant upgrades adding more efficient endpoints for attachment uploads and implementing the server side features required to support Session ID blinding.
