🔦 Highlights

🛣️ More configurable delegated routing system

Since Kubo v0.14.0 Reframe protocol has been supported as a new routing system.

Now, we allow to configure several routers working together, so you can have several reframe and dht routers making queries. You can use the special parallel and sequential routers to fill your needs.

Example configuration usage using the Filecoin Network Indexer and the DHT, making first a query to the indexer, and timing out after 3 seconds.

$ ipfs config Routing.Type --json '"custom"'

$ ipfs config Routing.Routers.CidContact --json '{
  "Type": "reframe",
  "Parameters": {
    "Endpoint": "https://cid.contact/reframe"
  }
}'

$ ipfs config Routing.Routers.WanDHT --json '{
  "Type": "dht",
  "Parameters": {
    "Mode": "auto",
    "PublicIPNetwork": true,
    "AcceleratedDHTClient": false
  }
}'

$ ipfs config Routing.Routers.ParallelHelper --json '{
  "Type": "parallel",
  "Parameters": {
    "Routers": [
        {
        "RouterName" : "CidContact",
        "IgnoreErrors" : true,
        "Timeout": "3s"
        },
        {
        "RouterName" : "WanDHT",
        "IgnoreErrors" : false,
        "Timeout": "5m",
        "ExecuteAfter": "2s"
        }
    ]
  }
}'

$ ipfs config Routing.Methods --json '{
      "find-peers": {
        "RouterName": "ParallelHelper"
      },
      "find-providers": {
        "RouterName": "ParallelHelper"
      },
      "get-ipns": {
        "RouterName": "ParallelHelper"
      },
      "provide": {
        "RouterName": "WanDHT"
      },
      "put-ipns": {

🌍 WebTransport new experimental Transport

A new feature of go-libp2p is WebTransport.

For now it is disabled by default and considered experimental.
If you find issues running it please report them to us.

In the future Kubo will listen on WebTransport by default for anyone already listening on QUIC addresses.

WebTransport is a new transport protocol currently under development by the IETF and the W3C, and already implemented by Chrome.
Conceptually, it’s like WebSocket run over QUIC instead of TCP. Most importantly, it allows browsers to establish (secure!) connections to WebTransport servers without the need for CA-signed certificates,
thereby enabling any js-libp2p node running in a browser to connect to any kubo node, with zero manual configuration involved.

The previous alternative is websocket secure, which require installing a reverse proxy and TLS certificates manually.

How to enable WebTransport

Thoses steps are temporary and wont be needed once we make it enabled by default.

  1. Enable the WebTransport transport:
    ipfs config Swarm.Transports.Network.WebTransport --json true
  2. Add a listener address for WebTransport to your Addresses.Swarm key, for example: 
    [
  "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4001",
  "/ip4/0.0.0.0/udp/4001/quic",
  "/ip4/0.0.0.0/udp/4002/quic/webtransport"
]
  3. Restart your daemon to apply the config changes.

🗃️ Hardened IPNS record verification

Records that do not have a valid IPNS V2 signature, or exceed the max size
limit, will no longer pass verification, and will be ignored by Kubo when
resolving /ipns/{libp2p-key} content paths.

Kubo continues publishing backward-compatible V1+V2 records that can be
resolved by V1-only (go-ipfs <0.9.0) clients.

More details can be found in Backward Compatibility, Record Creation, and
Record Verification sections of the updated IPNS
specification.

🌉 Web Gateways now support _redirects files

This feature enables support for redirects, single-page applications (SPA),
custom 404 pages, and moving to IPFS-backed website hosting
without breaking existing HTTP links.

It is limited to websites hosted in web contexts with unique
Origins, such as
subdomain and
DNSLink gateways.
Redirect logic is evaluated only if the requested path is not in the DAG.

See more details and usage examples see
docs.ipfs.tech: Redirects, custom 404s, and SPA support.

😻 Add files to MFS with ipfs add --to-files

Users no longer need to call ipfs files cp after ipfs add to create a
reference in MFS, or deal with
low level pins if they do not wish to do so. It is now possible to pass MFS
path in an optional --to-files to add data directly to MFS, without creating
a low level pin.

Before (Kubo <0.16.0):

$ ipfs add cat.jpg
QmCID
$ ipfs files cp /ipfs/QmCID /mfs-cats/cat.jpg
$ ipfs pin rm QmCID # removing low level pin, since MFS is protecting from gc

Kubo 0.16.0 collapses the above steps into one:

$ ipfs add --pin=false cat.jpg --to-files /mfs-cats/

A recursive add to MFS works too (below line will create /lots-of-cats/ directory in MFS):

$ ipfs add -r ./lots-of-cats/ --to-files /

For more information, see ipfs add --help and ipfs files --help.
