Hermes server v0.4.1

Hermes server v0.4.1 is now available. This release has the following fixes and improvements:

• Added support for online-delete and disk space clean up. The online deletion feature lets the service delete validation messages from older ledgers to keep disk usage from rapidly growing over time.
• A new command is provided to compact MongoDB collection, free up disk space and return it back to the OS.

Please read maintenance section in the README to read more about online-delete and how to enable it.

Hermes server v0.3.0

Hermes server v0.3.0 is now available. This release has the following fixes and improvements:

• Added support for verifying validation message signatures. rippled signs validation messages using the validator's public key, and includes signature in the validation message. With this release, validation message signature verification is strictly enforced. This is a backwards incompatible change, therefore Hermes v0.3.0+ nodes can peersync with other v0.3.0+ nodes only. Ingressing validations from rippled works as usual.
• Added production notes section in README based on feedback received from hermes ops.
