I'll be available on Monday and Tuesday to help with this - updated WebUI blocks JS IPFS 0.34 release right now and I wanted it to happen this year.

I know @olizilla wants to do some bigger refactoring, though there's also ipfs/ipld-explorer-components#6 which made things work for the dag-cbor API change (at least AFAICT).

of note, Web UI is using older versions of js-ipld and js-ipfs-api (the lib formally known as). Right now, as long as I don't upgrade ipld, Web UI still works as intended, which is what I'd expect. I will need to upgrade the ipld explrorer UI when I take the new ipld lib, but I expect it to keep working until i do.
Same goes for the file api from js-ipfs. I'd assume that older clients would still be able to access the http api in the same way, and new clients would use the new way. Or is this a breaking change to the http api too?

There's no (intended) breaking change to the HTTP API.
To be honest, I used it on the DHT branch and got a blank page for the files page...I didn't look into it any further at the time, so it just needs some investigation. I initially thought it was because of the breaking core API changes but as @olizilla pointed out the WebUI is bundled with it's dependencies, so should still work (since there's no HTTP API breaks).
