Bug Fixes
Update to fix blockapps-bloc integration issues
Removed README.html that launched at start
Fixed contract template, which failed to compile because of binary chars.
Fixed bug where only one contract could be deployed during session
Better error handling for use when bloc is not running.
Fixed bug where binary output from compilation in subfolders failed
Updated to fix compatibility with the new blockapps-bloc interfaces (REST)
Compilation generates both abi and binary files in the project ‘bin’ folder that are needed for deployment
The deploy option is tailored for the BlockApps STRATO instance
The deploy option automatically launches a self generated UI that can be used to test the smart contract
Generates automatic key upon first use and the default settings can be viewed on the project properties
