Overview

RPC client: removed deprecated DHT API

The deprecated DHT API commands in the RPC client have been removed. Instead, use the Routing API.

Gateway: /api/v0 is removed

The legacy subset of the Kubo RPC that was available via the Gateway port and was deprecated is now completely removed. You can read more in #10312.

If you have a legacy software that relies on this behavior, and want to expose parts of /api/v0 next to /ipfs, use reverse-proxy in front of Kubo to mount both Gateway and RPC on the same port. NOTE: exposing RPC to the internet comes with security risk: make sure to specify access control via API.Authorizations.

Removed deprecated Object API commands

The Object API commands deprecated back in 2021 have been removed, except for object diff, object patch add-link and object patch rm-link, whose alternatives have not yet been built (see issues 4801 and 4782).

Kubo ignores loopback addresses on LAN DHT and private addresses on WAN DHT

Kubo no longer keeps track of loopback and private addresses on the LAN and WAN DHTs, respectively. This means that other nodes will not try to dial likely undialable addresses.

To support testing scenarios where multiple Kubo instances run on the same machine, Routing.LoopbackAddressesOnLanDHT is set to true when the test profile is applied.

Pin roots are now prioritized when announcing

The root CIDs of pinned content are now prioritized when announcing to the Amino DHT with Reprovider.Strategy set to all (default) or pinned, making the important CIDs accessible faster.

πŸ“ Changelog

Security Note: CVE-2024-22189 has been addressed by upgrading to quic-go v0.42.0.

Overview

πŸ”¦ Highlights

Gateway: support for /api/v0 is deprecated

Support for exposing the legacy subset of Kubo RPC via the Gateway port is deprecated and should not be used. It will be removed in the next version. You can read more in #10312.

If you have a legacy software that relies on this behavior, and want to expose parts of /api/v0 next to /ipfs, use reverse-proxy in front of Kubo to mount both Gateway and RPC on the same port. NOTE: exposing RPC to the internet comes with security risk: make sure to specify access control via API.Authorizations.

IPNS resolver cache's TTL can now be configured

You can now configure the upper-bound of a cached IPNS entry's Time-To-Live via Ipns.MaxCacheTTL.

RPC client: deprecated DHT API, added Routing API

The RPC client for GO (kubo/client/rpc) now includes a Routing API to match the available commands in /api/v0/routing. In addition, the DHT API has been marked as deprecated.

In the next version, all DHT deprecated methods will be removed from the Go RPC client.

Deprecated DHT commands removed from /api/v0/dht

All the DHT commands that were deprecated for over a year were finally removed from /api/v0/dht. Users should switch to modern /api/v0/routing which works with both Amino DHT and Delegated Routers.

Repository migrations are now trustless

Kubo now only uses trustless requests (e.g., CAR files) when downloading repository migrations via HTTP. This further strengthens Kubo by not delegating trust to public gateways. The migration binaries are locally verified before being executed.

Overview

πŸ”¦ Highlights

Kubo binary imports

For users of Kubo preloaded plugins there is now a way to create a kubo instance with your plugins by depending on the cmd/ipfs/kubo package rather than rebuilding kubo with the included plugins.

See the customization docs for more information.

Several deprecated commands have been removed

Several deprecated commands have been removed:

Support optional pin names

You can now add a name to a pin when pinning a CID. To do so, use ipfs pin add --name "Some Name" bafy.... You can list your pins, including their names, with ipfs pin ls --names.

jaeger trace exporter has been removed

jaeger exporter has been removed from upstream, you should use otlp exporter instead.
See the boxo tracing docs for an example.

Overview

πŸ”¦ Highlights

WebUI: Updated Peers View

WebUI v4.2.0 shipped with updated ipfs-geoip dataset and ability to filter the peers table.

RPC API.Authorizations

Kubo RPC API now supports optional HTTP Authorization.

Granular control over user access to the RPC can be defined in the API.Authorizations map in the configuration file, allowing different users or apps to have unique access secrets and allowed paths.

This feature is opt-in. By default, no authorization is set up. For configuration instructions, refer to the documentation.

MPLEX Removal

After deprecating and removing mplex support by default in v0.23.0.

We now fully removed it. If you still need mplex support to talk with other pieces of software, please try updating them, and if they don't support yamux or QUIC talk to us about it.

Mplex is unreliable by design, it will drop data and generete errors when sending data too fast, yamux and QUIC support backpressure, that means if we send data faster than the remote machine can process it, we slows down to match the remote's speed.

Graphsync Experiment Removal

Currently the Graphsync server is to our knowledge not used due to lack of compatible software. And we are left to have to maintain the go-graphsync implementation when trying to update Kubo because some dependency changed and it fails to build anymore.

For more information see #9747.

Commands ipfs key sign and ipfs key verify

This allows the Kubo node to sign arbitrary bytes to prove ownership of a PeerID or an IPNS Name. To avoid signature reuse, the signed payload is always prefixed with libp2p-key signed message:.

These commands are also both available through the RPC client and implemented in client/rpc.

For more information see #10230.

Overview

πŸ”¦ Highlights

Support for content blocking

This Kubo release ships with built-in content-blocking subsystem announced earlier this year.
Content blocking is an opt-in decision made by the operator of ipfs daemon.
The official build does not ship with any denylists.

Learn more at /docs/content-blocking.md

Gateway: the root of the CARs are no longer meaningful

When requesting a CAR from the gateway, the root of the CAR might no longer be
meaningful. By default, the CAR root will be the last resolvable segment of the
path. However, in situations where the path cannot be resolved, such as when
the path does not exist, a CAR will be sent with a root of bafkqaaa (empty CID).
This CAR will contain all blocks necessary to validate that the path does not exist.

IPNS: improved publishing defaults

This release changes the default values used when publishing IPNS record
via ipfs name publish command:

  • Default --lifetime increased from 24h to 48h to take full advantage of
    the increased expiration window of Amino DHT
    (go-libp2p-kad-dht#793)
  • Default --ttl increased from 1m to 1h to improve website caching and follow
    saner defaults present in similar systems like DNS
    (specs#371)

This change only impacts the implicit defaults, when mentioned parameters are omitted
during publishing. Users are free to override the default if different value
makes more sense for their use case.

IPNS: record TTL is used for caching

In this release, we've made significant improvements to IPNS caching.

Previously, the TTL value in IPNS records was not utilized, and the
boxo/namesys library maintained a static one-minute resolution cache.

With this update, IPNS publishers gain more control over how long a valid IPNS
record remains cached before checking an upstream routing system, such as Amino
DHT, for updates. The TTL value in the IPNS record now serves as a hint for:

  • boxo/namesys: the internal cache, determining how long the IPNS resolution
    result is cached before asking upsteam routing systems for updates.
  • boxo/gateway: the Cache-Control HTTP header in responses to requests made
    for /ipns/name content paths.

These changes make it easier for rarely updated IPNS-hosted websites to be
cached more efficiently and load faster in browser contexts.

Experimental Transport: WebRTC Direct

This Kubo release includes the initial work towards WebRTC Direct
introduced in go-libp2p v0.32:

WebRTC Direct
allows browser nodes to connect to go-libp2p nodes directly,
without any configuration (e.g. TLS certificates) needed on the go-libp2p
side. This is useful for browser nodes that aren’t able to use
WebTransport.

The /webrtc-direct transport is disabled by default in Kubo 0.24,
and not ready for production use yet, but we plan to enable it in a future release.

See Swarm.Transports.Network.WebRTCDirect
to learn how to enable it manually, and what current limitations are.
