go-ipfs changelog v0.8

v0.8.0 2021-02-18

We're happy to announce go-ipfs 0.8.0! This is planned to be a fairly small release focused on integrating in the new pinning service/remote pinning API that makes the experience of managing pins across pinning services easier and more uniform.

🔦 Highlights

🧷 Remote pinning services

There is now support for asking remote services to pin data for you. This means anyone can implement the spec (developed in this repo) and allow for pin management.

All of the CLI (and corresponding HTTP API) commands are available under ipfs pin remote.

This remote pinning service comes with a redesign of how we're thinking about pinning and includes some commonly requested features such as:

  • Pins can have names (and coming soon metadata)
  • The same content can be pinned multiple times, but of course stored only once
    • This allows applications using the same pinning service to manage their own pins without worrying about removing content important to another application
  • Data can be pinned in either the foreground or background

Examples include:

ipfs pin remote service add myservice https://myservice.tld:1234/api/path myaccess key

ipfs pin remote add /ipfs/bafymydata --service=myservice --name=myfile
ipfs pin remote ls --service=myservice --name=myfile
ipfs pin remote ls --service=myservice --cid=bafymydata
ipfs pin remote rm --serivce=myservice --name=myfile

A few notes:

Remote pinning services work with recursive pins. This means commands like ipfs pin remote ls will not list indirectly pinned CIDs.

While pinning service data is stored in the configuration file it cannot be edited directly via the ipfs config commands due to the sensitive nature of pinning service API keys. The ipfs pin remote service commands can be used for interacting with remote service settings.

📌 Faster local pinning and unpinning

The pinning subsystem has been redesigned to be much faster and more flexible in how it tracks pins. For users who are working with many pins this will lead to a big speed increase in listing and modifying the set of pinned items as well as decreased memory usage.

Part of the redesign was setup to account for being able to interact with local pins the same way we can now interact with remote pins (e.g. names, being allowed to pin the same CID multiple times, etc.). Keep posted for more improvements to pinning.

DNSLink names on https:// subdomains

Previously DNSLink names would have trouble loading over subdomain gateways with HTTPS support since there is no way to get multilevel wildcard certificates (e.g. en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org.ipns.dweb.link cannot be covered by *.ipns.dweb.link). Therefore, when trying to load DNSLink names over https:// subdomains go-ipfs we now forward to an encoded DNS name. Since DNS names cannot contain . in them they are escaped using -.

/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org → ipns://en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org → https://dweb.link/ipns/en.wikipedia-on-ipfs.org https://en-wikipedia--on--ipfs-org.ipns.dweb.link 👈 a single DNS label, no TLS error

QUIC update

QUIC support has received a number of upgrades, including the ability to take advantage of larger UDP receive buffers for increased performance.

Linux users may notice a logged error on daemon startup if your system needs extra configuration to allow IPFS increase the buffer size. A helpful link for resolving this is in the log message as well as here.

👋 No more Darwin 386 builds

Go 1.15 (the latest version of Go) no longer supports Darwin 386 and so we are dropping support as well.
