Galacteek 0.5.0

Release log

This release introduces support for remote pinning.

All IPFS services (pubsub, p2p) are now part of the application's services graph (the application is now designed as a graph of services, you can view the graph in the Settings workspace).

  services Python package

Changed

• Support for mkdocs themes (bootswatch) for your dwebsites
  (darkly is the default)
• Easier to publish/unpublish websites, dynamic content .. on your DID

This is build 42 (the end of the cycle).

RIP Douglas Adams, and thanks for all the fun.

Added

• BitMessage support

• Themes support. moon3 is the default theme

• Hierarchical, per-module config system based on omegaconf

• Introduce APIs to dynamically start P2P services associated with
  a DID service

• Introduce protocol versioning by default for P2P services
  /p2p/Qm..../x/pizza/1.0.0

• Async logging handlers (logbook)

• The IPID's RSA key can now be password-protected

• Add boot progress dialogs

• Import a welcome page in the home folder

Galacteek 0.4.35 released!

This release catches up with go-ipfs v0.7 and brings crypto-related improvements (pubsub channels can now use RSA-AES or curve25519), encrypted chat, base36 support for IPNS, easy Markdown syntax to link IPFS objects, ..

Try it out and give a shout in the #galacteek channel (be patient as peers first authentication can be slow)

Release notes

In no particular order:

• Use go-ipfs version v0.7 and fs-repo-migrations v1.6.4.

• Patch py-multibase to support base36, base36upper multibases (this makes galacteek and the cidhelpers library compatible with the new base36-encoded IPNS key format that go-ipfs 0.7 introduced)

• EC-encrypted (curve25519) pubsub topics (using PyNacl)

• All chat channels are now encrypted (curve25519). Number of connected users per channel is displayed in the channels list when joining.

• Introduce custom Markdown syntax to link IPFS objects anywhere in the app (this is documented in the manual). It supports embedding images and video/audio content. Videos can be viewed inside chat channels.

• RSA: Use AES-256 in CBC mode by default (compatibility with EAX mode will remain)

• JWS token generation and verification with jwcrypto

• Make the helmet the default DID avatar (important!)

• DAG exchange services skip already processed messages (pubsub services now store message metadata)

• Set timeouts on ipfssearch/cyber queries to prevent search timeouts when one engine is not replying.

That's it! Enjoy, and give a tip if you can.
