Including new commands, easier corruption +recovery, and a generally cleaner codebase. + +The `ipfs pin` command has two new subcommands, `verify` and `update`. `ipfs +pin verify` is used to scan the repo for pinned object graphs and check their +integrity. Any issues are reported back with helpful error text to make error +recovery simpler. This subcommand was added to help recover from datastore +corruptions, particularly if using the experimental filestore and accidentally +deleting tracked files. +`ipfs pin update` was added to make the task of keeping a large, frequently +changing object graph pinned. Previously users had to call `ipfs pin rm` on the +old pin, and `ipfs pin add` on the new one. The 'new' `ipfs pin add` call would +be very expensive as it would need to verify the entirety of the graph again. +The `ipfs pin update` command takes shortcuts, portions of the graph that were +covered under the old pin are assumed to be fine, and the command skips +checking them. + +Next up, we have finally implemented an `ipfs shutdown` command so users can +shut down their ipfs daemons via the API. This is especially useful on +platforms that make it difficult to control processes (Android, for example), +and is also useful when needing to shut down a node remotely and you do not +have access to the machine itself. + +`ipfs add` has gained a new flag; the `--hash` flag allows you to select which +hash function to use and we have given it the ability to select `blake2b-256`. +This pushes us one step closer to shifting over to using blake2b as the +default. Blake2b is significantly faster than sha2-256, and also is conjectured +to provide superior security. + +We have also finally implemented a very early (and experimental) `ipfs p2p`. +This command and its subcommands will allow you to open up arbitrary streams to +other ipfs peers through libp2p. The interfaces are a little bit clunky right +now, but shouldn't get in the way of anyone wanting to try building a fully +peer to peer application on top of ipfs and libp2p. For more info on this +command, to ask questions, or to provide feedback, head over to the [feedback +issue](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/3994) for the command. + +A few other subcommands and flags were added around the API, as well as many +other requested improvements. See below for the full list of changes. + - Features - Add support for specifying the hash function in `ipfs add` ([ipfs/go-ipfs#3919](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/3919)) diff --git a/package.json b/package.json index 953a841af..7fbca79d2 100644 --- a/package.json +++ b/package.json @@ -312,6 +312,6 @@ "language": "go", "license": "MIT", "name": "go-ipfs", - "version": "0.4.10-rc1" + "version": "0.4.10" } diff --git a/repo/config/version.go b/repo/config/version.go index 5746b2285..f9894347e 100644 --- a/repo/config/version.go +++ b/repo/config/version.go @@ -4,6 +4,6 @@ package config var CurrentCommit string // CurrentVersionNumber is the current application's version literal -const CurrentVersionNumber = "0.4.10-rc1" +const CurrentVersionNumber = "0.4.10" const ApiVersion = "/go-ipfs/" + CurrentVersionNumber + "/"
