v0.4.0 - Crescendo

This release contains several bugfixes and improvements for the UX, performance, protocol compliance and testing. It targets Ethereum Testnets on Raiden Contracts v0.36.
Some highlights include:

• Logs are persisted in browser's IndexedDB and can be downloaded for debugging & bug reporting.
• Confirmation blocks provide protection against reorgs
• Better error handling and messages
• Token minting inside dApp on Testnets for easy testing
• State upgrades allow you to keep up-to-date with changes without needing to
• The long waited subkey support (a derived private key used for signing messages without requiring Metamask prompts for off-chain messaging) is exposed experimentally, and provide a completely independent account, which just get on-chain transactions and funds from the current Metamask account, and bypass the need to confirm signing on several messages per off-chain transfer.

• Raiden Alderaan pre-release compatibility
• Path Finding Service (PFS) integration
  • You may be required and walked through depositing Service Tokens [SVT] (testnet version of mainnet's RDN) to a User Deposit Contract, sign special messages to pay PFS off-chain and request routes from you to the transfer's recipient through Raiden Network
  • You'll be able to confirm these fee's payments beforehand
• Mediation fees support
  • PFS will inform about estimated mediation fees
  • You'll be able to view possible routes, their fees and confirm it before performing a transfer
• Matrix Transport improvements in reliability, stability and performance.
• Blockchain monitoring performance improvements.
