 * Replaced the underlying library  we were using for spelling correction as is no longer in development. Instead, we started to use a new approach in socializer, which, in theory, should allow us to switch language for spelling correction and other benefits a bit later. For now, available languages are Russian, Ukranian, English, Polish and Spanish, but more languages can be added by request.
 * When downloading a file (such as an audio file or document), the download process should be relatively faster due to some optimizations made in the function.
+* Socializer now uses just the first name of users in typing notifications.
