go-ipfs changelog

0.4.3 - 2016-09-20

There have been no changes since the last release candidate 0.4.3-rc4. \o/

0.4.3-rc4 - 2016-09-09

This release candidate fixes issues in Bitswap and the ipfs add command, and improves testing. We plan for this to be the last release candidate before the release of go-ipfs v0.4.3.

With this release candidate, we're also moving go-ipfs to Go 1.7, which we expect will yield improvements in runtime performance, memory usage, build time and size of the release binaries.

  • Require Go 1.7. (@whyrusleeping, @Kubuxu, @lgierth, ipfs/go-ipfs#3163)
    • For this purpose, switch Docker image from Alpine 3.4 to Alpine Edge.

  • Improve sharness tests for CORS headers on the gateway. (@Kubuxu, ipfs/go-ipfs#3142)
  • Improve tests for pinning within ipfs files. (@kevina, ipfs/go-ipfs#3151)
  • Improve tests for the automatic raising of file descriptor limits. (@whyrusleeping, ipfs/go-ipfs#3149)

0.4.3-rc3 - 2016-08-09

This release candidate fixes a panic that occurs when input from stdin was expected, but none was given: ipfs/go-ipfs#3050

0.4.3-rc2 - 2016-07-23

This release includes bugfixes and fixes for regressions that were introduced between 0.4.2 and 0.4.3-rc1.

    • Fix symlink path resolution on windows. (@Kubuxu, ipfs/go-ipfs#3023)
    • Add in code to prevent issue 3032 from crashing the daemon. (@whyrusleeping, ipfs/go-ipfs#3037)

0.4.3-rc1 - 2016-07-23

This is a maintenance release which comes with a couple of nice enhancements, and improves the performance of Storage, Bitswap, as well as Content and Peer Routing. It also introduces a handful of new commands and options, and fixes a good bunch of bugs.

0.4.0 - 2016-04-05

This is a major release with plenty of new features and bugfixes. It also includes breaking changes which make it incompatible with v0.3.x on the networking layer.

  • Major Changes
    • Multistream
      • The addition of multistream is a breaking change on the networking layer, but gives IPFS implementations the ability to mix and match different stream multiplexers, e.g. yamux, spdystream, or muxado. This adds a ton of flexibility on one of the lower layers of the protocol, and will help us avoid further breaking protocol changes in the future.
    • Files API
      • The new files command and API allow a program to interact with IPFS using familiar filesystem operations, namely: creating directories, reading, writing, and deleting files, listing out different directories, and so on. This feature enables any other application that uses a filesystem-like backend for storage, to use IPFS as its storage driver without having change the application logic at all.
    • Gx
      • go-ipfs now uses gx to manage its dependencies. This means that under the hood, go-ipfs's dependencies are backed by IPFS itself! It also means that go-ipfs is no longer installed using go get. Use make install instead.
  • New Features
    • Web UI
      • Update to new version which is compatible with 0.4.0. (@dignifiedquire)
    • Networking
      • Implement uTP transport. (@whyrusleeping)
      • Allow multiple addresses per configured bootstrap node. (@whyrusleeping)
    • IPNS
      • Improve IPNS resolution performance. (@whyrusleeping)
      • Have dnslink prefer TXT _dnslink.example.com, allows usage of CNAME records. (@Kubuxu)
      • Prevent ipfs name publish when /ipns is mounted. (@noffle)
    • Repo
      • Improve performance of ipfs add. (@whyrusleeping)
      • Add Datastore.NoSync config option for flatfs. (@rht)
      • Implement mark-and-sweep GC. (@whyrusleeping)
      • Allow for GC during ipfs add. (@whyrusleeping)
      • Add ipfs repo stat command. (@tmg, @diasdavid)
    • General
      • Add support for HTTP OPTIONS requests. (@lidel)
      • Add ipfs diag cmds to view active API requests (@whyrusleeping)
      • Add an IPFS_LOW_MEM environment veriable which relaxes Bitswap's memory usage. (@whyrusleeping)
      • The Docker image now lives at ipfs/go-ipfs and has been completely reworked. (@lgierth)
  • Security fixes
    • The gateway path prefix added in v0.3.10 was vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks. This release introduces a configurable list of allowed path prefixes. It's called Gateway.PathPrefixes and takes a list of strings, e.g. ["/blog", "/foo/bar"]. The v0.3.x line will not receive any further updates, so please update to v0.4.0 as soon as possible. (@lgierth)
