• Updated behavior for tray and window in ORC Desktop
• Object auditing bugfixes
• Implement hashcash to prevent DoS and spam on STORE and PUBLISH
• Upgrade require nodejs version to include new security patch
• Fix issues on OSX with starting and restarting ORC desktop

The protocol bump is backwards incompatible for STORE and PUBLISH messages, which means that until you upgrade, you:

1. Won't be able to publish capacity announcements to the network
2. Won't be able to store encrypted object pointers in the DHT

In terms of how this affects you, you'll still be able to download and upload objects, but can't share them and updated nodes won't store shards on your node. This is due to a new proof-of-work requirement based on hashcash that will be in place for these 2 message types to mitigate potential vulnerabilities to targeted denial-of-service and network spam.
