 * Added the capability to change password.
 * Corrected a bug into `pwdhash`: it accepted an argument, but pulled data from the form instead of processing it. Now it uses the argument.
 * Schema changes: added column `telegram` to `UserProfile` table. To update schema, execute the script `migrate_0_6_to_0_7.py`
-* Adding public API. Each of the API endpoints take a mandatory query string argument: the access token, generated by a separate endpoint at `/get_access_token` and stored into the client. All API routes start with `/api/V1`. Added endpoints `feed` and `create`.
