Lightningtip Versions Save

This is a minor maintenance release:

New features

• use hash of the preimage instead of SHA256 hash of the invoice for identifying tips
• automatically detects macaroons for LND version 0.5.0 and higher

Fixed bugs

• alternative to EventSource didn't work properly in some cases

This is the first version of LightningTip I would consider as polished and stable.

If you are upgrading from the beta or some version you built yourself you have to check if your config and command line flags are up to date and you must update your HTML, CSS and JavaScript files.

New features

• reworked frontend which shows the QR code by default now
• reconnecting to LND if the connection gets interrupted (optional)
• keep alive requests which are useful if a firewall is running between LightningTip and LND (optional)
• CLI (tipreport) to show received tips
• light theme for frontend (optional)
• email notifications for received tips (optional)

Fixed bugs

• faster QR code generation
• stated clearly that the REST interface of the backend should not be opened in a browser
• other little things

Thanks to @bretton many helpful wiki articles about setting up LightningTip were added.
