IPFS

dist.ipfs.io is the new distributions page for IPFS. This is the new one-stop-shop for finding and downloading all official binaries that the IPFS Team produces.

The IPFS Distributions Website

The distributions website itself is served by, hosted, and distributed through IPFS. The website assets and all of the binaries form one large IPFS content graph. This means that you can view and use this website through any IPFS node, even your own local ipfs node. All you need to do is to run an IPFS daemon and direct your browser to http://localhost:8080/ipns/dist.ipfs.io ...

go-ipfs 0.4.0 has been released! Among the many changes are a revamped implementation of the IPFS communication protocols, increased performance, improvements to IPNS (the Interplanetary Naming System), many bugfixes, and lots of new features to make IPFS even more powerful.

The IPFS Files API

In 0.4.0, we've added a new feature, the Files API, available through the subcommand: ipfs files. This subcommand allows a program to interact with IPFS using familiar filesystem operations, namely: creating directories, reading, writing and deleting files, listing out different directories, and so on.

This feature enables any application that uses ...

Good news everyone! We'll soon release go-ipfs 0.4.0, which contains lots of great changes and enhancements. An upcoming post will detail the improvements of 0.4.0. This post is about important things to be aware of when upgrading. Users who already rely on go-ipfs or the ipfs.io services should pay special attention.

There are breaking changes which prevent 0.4.x nodes from communicating with 0.3.x nodes. We know breaking changes are painful. We avoid them. In this case, the improvement makes IPFS substantially more upgradable. It's one of those things that ...
