### New feature: Offline mode
Recently I've been asked by @transisto and @arcange why I was making the SteemConnect login compulsory although most of the features are not using it.
Basically all the features, except for Feed+, Followers, Minnow upvote (from popup) and Beneficiaries can be run without login. This necessited a huge change in the code, but this is an important step ahead for two reasons:
- No need to ask for posting permissions when they are not needed.
- The features charge faster when the page loads, because we do not need to wait for SteemConnect answer.

You can switch easily between online and offline mode thanks to the SteemConnect icon on the top right of your page. All the features (except those mentionned above) will still work in offline mode.

In the offline case, the account identity is determined from the profile menu URL instead of using SteemConnect.

### Bug fixes

We also fixed some bugs in the code. For example:
- Some votes from Feed+ were not casted correctly. It has been fixed.
- Better integration of Steem Sincerity API.
