v2.9.0.872 (Beta)

Changes

• feat: web ui 2.7.2 (#825)
• feat: improved experience on DNSLink websites (#826)
  • Simplified main menu and added option to View on Gateway which opens current tab via Gateway in a new tab:

    
    add DNSLink section to Preferences screen

  • Enabling DNSLink redirect is off by default, requires explicit opt-in via Preferences. If user enables it, we warn about breaking of Origin sandbox:

    

  • Removed "Redirect on {fqdn}" menu item from browser action menu. DNSLink redirect is no longer enabled by default, and this feature does not need to be present at all times (It remains on Preferences screen if needed).
  • Q & A
    • Q: What about offline use? Recovery from HTTP failures? Distributing the content to other peers?
      • A: In Next Beta we will preload visited DNSLink URLs to local node (see #827)
    • Q: Having an option to exclude DNSLink websites from redirect is nice, but can we flip the switch so the redirect remains enabled by default?
      • A: We could, but that would not solve problem described in #667.
• chore: dependency bump
