Zipkin 1.18 includes a number of UI fixes and exposes arbitrary Kafka configuration

Thanks to @cburroughs, many Zipkin UI glitches are addressed, including the ability to escape out of dialog boxes and fix the default trace view to Expand All services. Chris also reduced its minified size from 2.2 MiB to 821KiB, which will improve load performance and also reduce bandwidth usage.

Also notable in 1.18 is Kafka configuration. You can now override any Kafka consumer property using zipkin.collector.kafka.overrides as a CLI argument or system property.

For example, to override "overrides.auto.offset.reset", you can set a prefixed system property:

$ KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER=127.0.0.1:2181 java -Dzipkin.collector.kafka.overrides.auto.offset.reset=largest -jar zipkin.jar

Thanks to our volunteers for continued improvements, and to our users for improvement suggestions.
