 # go-ipfs changelog

-* Features
+This is a major release with plenty of new features and bugfixes.
-  * add optional path arguments to 'ipfs pin ls' (@chriscool)
+It also includes breaking changes which make it incompatible with v0.3.x
+on the networking layer.
 
+* Major Changes
+  * Multistream
+    * The addition of multistream is a breaking change on the networking layer,
+      but gives IPFS implementations the ability to mix and match different
+      stream multiplexers, e.g. yamux, spdystream, or muxado.
+      This adds a ton of flexibility on one of the lower layers of the protocol,
+      and will help us avoid further breaking protocol changes in the future.
+  * Files API
+    * The new `files` command and API allow 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 other application that uses a
+      filesystem-like backend for storage, to use IPFS as its storage driver
+      without having change the application logic at all.
+  * Gx
+    * go-ipfs now uses [gx](https://github.com/whyrusleeping/gx) to manage its
+      dependencies. This means that under the hood, go-ipfs's dependencies are
+      backed by IPFS itself! It also means that go-ipfs is no longer installed
+      using `go get`. Use `make install` instead.
+* New Features
+  * Web UI
+    * Update to new version which is compatible with 0.4.0. (@dignifiedquire)
+  * Networking
+    * Implement uTP transport. (@whyrusleeping)
+    * Allow multiple addresses per configured bootstrap node. (@whyrusleeping)
+  * IPNS
+    * Improve IPNS resolution performance. (@whyrusleeping)
+    * Have dnslink prefer `TXT _dnslink.example.com`, allows usage of CNAME records. (@Kubuxu)
+    * Prevent `ipfs name publish` when `/ipns` is mounted. (@noffle)
+  * Repo
+    * Improve performance of `ipfs add`. (@whyrusleeping)
+    * Add `Datastore.NoSync` config option for flatfs. (@rht)
+    * Implement mark-and-sweep GC. (@whyrusleeping)
+    * Allow for GC during `ipfs add`. (@whyrusleeping)
+    * Add `ipfs repo stat` command. (@tmg, @diasdavid)
+  * General
+    * Add support for HTTP OPTIONS requests. (@lidel)
+    * Add `ipfs diag cmds` to view active API requests (@whyrusleeping)
+    * Add an `IPFS_LOW_MEM` environment veriable which relaxes Bitswap's memory usage. (@whyrusleeping)
+    * The Docker image now lives at `ipfs/go-ipfs` and has been completely reworked. (@lgierth)
+* Security fixes
+  * The gateway path prefix added in v0.3.10 was vulnerable to cross-site
+    scripting attacks. This release introduces a configurable list of allowed
+    path prefixes. It's called `Gateway.PathPrefixes` and takes a list of
+    strings, e.g. `["/blog", "/foo/bar"]`. The v0.3.x line will not receive any
+    further updates, so please update to v0.4.0 as soon as possible. (@lgierth)
