 ### Changed
+  * Updated daemon to 0.17.1. 0.17.1 contains several more download fixes that are backwards incompatible, making this a near mandatory upgrade.
   * Continuing to standardize and improve design. File selectors, checkboxes, radios, and a number of other elements got substantial improvements.
   * [Electron](https://github.com/electron/electron) version upgraded. Most relevantly, this fixes URI handling in Linux.
   * Chat links and text updated to remove references to Slack.
