sep 28, 2017 - Shortened Transaction Type ID Namespace

Description:

At this time, each Counterparty message allocated 4 bytes to the message type ID. But it was noted that Counterparty only uses 14 of the 4 billion possible message types.

This Counterparty Improvement Proposal shortened the message type ID to 1 byte. This saved 3 bytes on every transaction.
