### Overview
+Kubo 0.37.0 introduces embedded repository migrations, gateway resource protection, complete AutoConf control, improved reprovider strategies, and anonymous telemetry for better feature prioritization. This release significantly improves memory efficiency, network configuration flexibility, and operational reliability while maintaining full backward compatibility.

-ipfs name publish --delegated-only /ipfs/QmHash

-# Publish only locally (no network requests)

Certain `ipfs cid` commands can now be run without a daemon or repository, and return correct exit code 1 on error, making it easier to perform CID conversion in scripts and CI/CD pipelines.
