Users can now share files
Click on the file-share button next to message input to attach file
Files are encrypted and sign along with messages
Note: file size is not restricted, yet its advised to share only files with size <1.5MB
Directly send the incoming websocket messages through unicast or broadcast
Incoming messages for unicast and broadcast are not processed inside the server
Server response speed is increased as duplicating the message is eliminated
Websocket message limit of 5000 is eliminated since the message is directly sent
Verify privKey of groupID when creating new group
Names and Messages are now added in textContent instead of innerHTML to prevent HTML injection
Both direct message and group message use the same IDB objectStore
Converted send message input to textarea : now users can send multi-line messages
Minor UI changes and fixes
Improved Enter Key Press :
Shift+Enter key will now insert a new line
(Enter key pressed without shift key will send message as before)
Enter key event to send message will now tigger on keydown instead of keyup

The follwoing introduction was added: "# Flo-Whatsapp: Introduction
This is a peer-peer Whatsapp like chat application totally encrypted in transit without needing a central server. Current web based technologies have a inbound address problem namely ordinary web users do not have a fixed IP, so it is not easy to esatblish connection to them. We propose to solve that problem by using TOR addresses for ordinary users which can provide a fixed inbound routable address on Internet for everyone including for those on dynamic IPs. Ever since Brave Browser an almost perfect clone of Google Chrome introduced TOR based browsing, it has become very easy to connect to a TOR based service. We believe it can form a stable architecture for peer to peer services. Another limitation of current web based technologies is ordinary users cannot allocate a fixed port using just their web browsers for inbound connections. So every user will need to run his own webservers on which he can receive chat messages. We could not find a way to eliminate webservers. But we have found a very simple webserver called Mongoose Webserver, where a user can invoke a fixed port based service on click of a single button. To facilitate globally unique identification of every peer, we propose to use FLO Blockchain IDs. Then user can then attach his TOR address onto his FLO id inside the FLO Blockchain. Since the blockchain data is immutable, it will provide a continous uniterruptable source of connection information based on user's FLO ID."
