🔦 Highlights

This is a release mainly with bugfixing and library updates.
We are improving release speed and cadence trying to have a new release every 5 weeks.

#️⃣ Blake 3 support

You can now use blake3 as a valid hash function:

• ipfs block put --mhtype=blake3
• ipfs add --hash=blake3
  It uses a 32 bytes default size.
  And verify up to 128 bytes.
  Because blake3 is variable output hash function, you can use a different digest length, set mhlen: ipfs block put --mhtype=blake3 --mhlen=64, ipfs add doesn't have this option yet.

💉 Fx Options plugin

This adds a plugin interface that lets the plugin modify the fx options that are passed to fx when the app is initialized.
This means plugins can inject their own implementations of Kubo interfaces.
This enables granular customization of Kubo behavior by plugins, such as:

• Bitswap with custom filters (e.g. for CID blocking)
• Custom interface implementations such as Pinner or DAGService
• Dynamic configuration of libp2p ...

Here's an example plugin that overrides the default Pinner with a custom one:

func (p *PinnerPlugin) Options(info core.FXNodeInfo) ([]fx.Option, error) {
	pinner := mypinner.New()    
	return append(info.FXOptions, fx.Replace(fx.Annotate(pinner, fx.As(new(pin.Pinner))))), nil
}

Extra plugin info here.

📁 $IPFS_PATH/gateway file

This adds a new file in the IPFS_PATH folder similar to $IPFS_PATH/api containing an address based on Addresses.Gateway configuration.

This file is in URL (RFC1738) format.

$ cat ~/.ipfs/gateway
http://127.0.0.1:8080
