What's new
The existing formula of StellarTerm was already working pretty well, I was able to focus my time on making many further improvements and polishes to the client.
On the surface, StellarTerm is still the interface that many have grown familiar with. However, many individual elements have been fine tuned and improved. Some are visible such as the improved exchange page or the Ledger Nano S integration. Others are subtle such as better user messaging and improved behind-the-scenes data management.
Most active development: 546 git commits since October 2017!
StellarTerm development has been more active than ever before! Today, the GitHub repository has over 900 commits. In October, there were only 367 git commits in the project, so this represents a huge increase development!
