Galacteek 0.5.5

Galacteek 0.5.5 prerelease

Release log

Added

• Add a way to define datasets in the pronto config
• Add a console script: rdfifier (converts YAML-LD to RDF)
• MFS model: add an API to trigger UnixFS listing from external
  agents (like a QML dapp)
• ipfs dweb channel: Add API for remote pinning

Changed

• Allow file:// URLs to be passed from QML code
• CI: distribute wheel
• httpFetch returns a Path and sha512 checksum
• Set SSL_CERT_FILE from certifi for dmg and AppImage
• IPFSOperator: isPinned() can receive a pin type argument

Using the AppImage

After downloading the AppImage, make it executable and then run it:

chmod +x Galacteek-0.5.5-x86_64.AppImage
./Galacteek-0.5.5-x86_64.AppImage

The AppImage does not bundle libstdc++. If you use a Linux system with an old libstdc++ and cannot run the AppImage, please open an issue.

Be sure to install all the gstreamer packages to be able to use the mediaplayer.

Trouble with running the AppImage ? Check the wiki or file an issue

Using the DMG image

After opening/mounting the DMG image, hold Control and click on the galacteek icon, select Open and then accept. You probably need to allow the system to install applications from anywhere in the security settings.

Galacteek 0.5.0

Galacteek 0.5.0

Release log

This release introduces support for remote pinning.

All IPFS services (pubsub, p2p) are now part of the application's services graph (the application is now designed as a graph of services, you can view the graph in the Settings workspace).

Added

• Use go-ipfs version: 0.8.0
• Use PyQt version: 5.15.2
• Use PyQtWebEngine version: 5.15.2
• Support for remote pinning services (yay!)
  • Configure your RPS from the settings (tested with Pinata)
  • From the PIN object buttons (blue pin) you can choose to
    pin with a remote service or to your IPFS node
  • Add a status icon for remote pinning (basic for now)
• Add a workspace action to view the application's services graph
  (you need graphviz installed for this to work)
• Add coroutines to load services dynamically from the
  services Python package

Changed

• Support for mkdocs themes (bootswatch) for your dwebsites
  (darkly is the default)
• Easier to publish/unpublish websites, dynamic content .. on your DID
• Easier to create and publish a markdown website
• QA toolbar: modernize, should now support large number of items
• Use a dock instead of a status bar
• MFS: recursive collapse when double-clicking an already-expanded
  directory
• Pubsub services are now part of the services tree
• P2P services (like the DIDauth service) are now part of the
  services tree

Fixed

• Fix mkdocs website creation on non-Linux platforms
• Focus bug in the markdown editor

Galacteek 0.4.42

Release log

This is build 42 (the end of the cycle).

RIP Douglas Adams, and thanks for all the fun.

Added

• BitMessage support

• Themes support. moon3 is the default theme

• Hierarchical, per-module config system based on omegaconf

• Introduce APIs to dynamically start P2P services associated with
  a DID service

• Introduce protocol versioning by default for P2P services
  /p2p/Qm..../x/pizza/1.0.0

• Async logging handlers (logbook)

• galacteek.ipfs.ipfsops.IPFSOperator: add coroutines to dial P2P
  services from a full service address, e.g /p2p/Qm..../x/myservice

• Python dependencies

  • mode == 4.4.0
  • omegaconf == 2.0.5

Changed

• Combine async services (GService) with in-app JSON-LD PubSub messaging.
  This should become the official way of pushing events throughout the app.
• Use dynamic, configurable processing throttlers for all pubsub services
• galacteek.ipfs.asyncipfsd.AsyncIPFSDaemon: the daemon's configuration
  is now done in an atomic call (by externally calling ipfs config replace).
  This makes the boot process faster.
• Configurable webprofiles

Fixed

• Memory leak in the BrowserTab class (Qt reparenting)
• UTF-8 rendering of blog posts
