should significantly reduce the size of filesystem trees with many empty
directories and tiny files.
#### CoreAPI
CoreAPI is a new way to interact with IPFS from Go. While it's still not
final, most things you can do via the CLI or HTTP interfaces, can now be done
through the new API.
Currently there is only one implementation, backed by go-ipfs node, and there are

interface using this API, which could help performance in some use cases.

### Efforts
#### Commands Lib
We've completely refactored our commands library (again). While it still needs
quite a bit of work, it now requires significantly less boilerplate and should
be significantly more robust. The refactor immediately found two broken tests
and probably fixed quite a few bugs around properly returning and handling
errors.
