### 0.4.11-rc1 2017-09-14
|
||||
|
||||
Ipfs 0.4.11 is a larger release that brings many long-awaited features and
|
||||
performance improvements. These include new datastore options, more efficient
|
||||
bitswap transfers, circuit relay support, ipld plugins and more! Take a look
|
||||
at the full changelog below for a detailed list of every change.
|
||||
|
||||
The ipfs datastore has, until now, been a combination of leveldb and a custom
|
||||
git-like storage backend called 'flatfs'. This works well enough for the
|
||||
average user, but different ipfs usecases demand different backend
|
||||
configurations. To address this, we have changed the configuration file format
|
||||
for datastores to be a modular way of specifying exactly how you want the
|
||||
datastore to be structured. You will now be able to configure ipfs to use
|
||||
flatfs, leveldb, badger, an in-memory datastore, and more to suit your needs.
|
||||
See the new [datastore
|
||||
documentation](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/datastores.md)
|
||||
for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
Bitswap received some much needed attention during this release cycle. The
|
||||
concept of 'Bitswap Sessions' allows bitswap to associate requests for
|
||||
different blocks to the same underlying session, and from that infer better
|
||||
ways of requesting that data. In more concrete terms, parts of the ipfs
|
||||
codebase that take advantage of sessions (currently, only `ipfs pin add`) will
|
||||
cause much less extra traffic than before. This is done by making optimistic
|
||||
guesses about which nodes might be providing given blocks and not sending
|
||||
wantlist updates to every connected bitswap partner, as well as searching the
|
||||
DHT for providers less frequently. In future releases we will migrate over more
|
||||
ipfs commands to take advantage of bitswap sessions. As nodes update to this
|
||||
and future versions, expect to see idle bandwidth usage on the ipfs network
|
||||
go down noticably.
|
||||
|
||||
It is often said that NAT traversal is the hardest problem in peer to peer
|
||||
technology, we tend to agree with this. In an effort to provide a more
|
||||
ubiquitous p2p mesh, we have implemented a relay mechanism that allows willing
|
||||
peers to relay traffic for other peers who might not otherwise be able to
|
||||
communicate with each other. This feature is still pretty early, and currently
|
||||
users have to manually connect through a relay. The next step in this endeavour
|
||||
is automatic relaying, and research for this is currently in progress. We
|
||||
expect that when it lands, it will improve the perceived performance of ipfs by
|
||||
spending less time attempting connections to hard to reach nodes. A short guide
|
||||
on using the circuit relay feature can be found
|
||||
[here](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/experimental-features.md#circuit-relay).
|
||||
|
||||
The last feature we want to highlight (but by no means the last feature in this
|
||||
release) is our new plugin system. There are many different workflows and
|
||||
usecases that ipfs should be able to support, but not everyone wants to be able
|
||||
to use every feature. We could simply merge in all these features, but that
|
||||
causes problems for several reasons: first off, the size of the ipfs binary
|
||||
starts to get very large very quickly. Second, each of these different pieces
|
||||
needs to be maintained and updated independently, which would cause significant
|
||||
churn in the codebase. To address this, we have come up with a system that
|
||||
allows users to install plugins to the vanilla ipfs daemon that augment its
|
||||
capabilities. The first of these plugins are a [git
|
||||
plugin](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/plugin/plugins/git/git.go)
|
||||
that allows ipfs to natively address git objects and an [ethereum
|
||||
plugin](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipld-eth) that lets ipfs ingest and operate
|
||||
on all ethereum blockchain data. Soon to come are plugins for the bitcoin and
|
||||
zcash data formats. In the future, we will be adding plugins for other things
|
||||
like datastore backends and specialized libp2p network transports.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to simplify its integration with fs-repo-migrations, we've switched
|
||||
the ipfs/go-ipfs docker image from a musl base to a glibc base. For most users
|
||||
this will not be noticable, but if you've been building your own images based
|
||||
off this image, you'll have to update your dockerfile. We recommend a
|
||||
multi-stage dockerfile, where the build stage is based off of a regular Debian or
|
||||
other glibc-based image, and the assembly stage is based off of the ipfs/go-ipfs
|
||||
image, and you copy build artifacts from the build stage to the assembly
|
||||
stage. Note, if you are using the docker image and see a deprecation message,
|
||||
please update your usage. We will stop supporting the old method of starting
|
||||
the dockerfile in the next release.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, I would like to thank all of our contributors, users, supporters, and
|
||||
friends for helping us along the way. Ipfs would not be where it is without
|
||||
you.
