## Updates

* [**ArcticJS**](http://arcticjs.club) [@daviddias](//github.com/daviddias), [@whyrusleeping](//github.com/whyrusleeping), [@RichardLitt](//github.com/RichardLitt), and [@noffle](//github.com/noffle) were all able to meet up for the first time as a group and hack together at [ArcticJS](http://arcticjs.club), the first JavaScript conference above the Arctic circle, in Svalbard. Around 15 attended, and there was a lot of hacking, snow, talking about buffers, and swimming in the ocean at midnight underneath the Aurora Borealis (no, really). Most of the work done at the conference was conversations, but included [@daviddias](//github.com/daviddias) and [@RichardLitt](//github.com/RichardLitt) working on the API together, [@whyrusleeping](//github.com/whyrusleeping) learning how to javascript, and [@daviddias](//github.com/daviddias) and [@xicombd](//github.com/xicombd) working on IPFS together. All in all, it was an incredible trip. The videos for the actual talks (given in the most Northernmost church in the world) are [here](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3bvPCw5QCLLJUL2Q_bBI1bi9bYQ-4hci).
* [**dist.ipfs.io**](https://dist.ipfs.io) A distributions page has been shipped! This was largely spearheaded by [@dignifiedquire](//github.com/dignifiedquire). http://dist.ipfs.io/
* [**go-ipfs**](//github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs) 0.3.11 is shipped! Also, we merged 0.4.0 into master. [@jbenet](//github.com/jbenet), [@Dignifiedquire](//github.com/Dignifiedquire) and others [fixed appveyor](//github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2137), which means that windows CI now works. And finally the latest webui by [@Dignifiedquire](//github.com/Dignifiedquire) was pushed in 0.3.11. Check out the [changelog](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md).
* [**ipfs-merkle-dag**](//github.com/vijayee/ipfs-merkle-dag) [@daviddias](//github.com/daviddias) worked on the js ipfs merkle-dag implementation, as well as putting in a lot of work in general on js-ipfs.
* [**py-ipfs**](//github.com/ipfs/py-ipfs) Thanks to [@candeira](//github.com/candeira) and [@ivilata](//github.com/ivilata), we now have a much more filled out plan for the Python implementation of IPFS. Join in if you are a pythonista.
* [**js-mafmt**](//github.com/whyrusleeping/js-mafmt) [@whyrusleeping](//github.com/whyrusleeping) is working on a multiaddr validator in js, after his go work in [mafmt](//github.com/whyrusleeping/mafmt)
* [**infrastructure**](//github.com/ipfs/infrastructure) The public gateway at [ipfs.io](https://ipfs.io) is now backed by both v0.4.0-dev and v0.3.11 at the same time. Requests are proxied to both, and the first successful response wins. ipfs.io will be backed by v0.4.x alone eventually. What this means is that if you want to target your requests at one specific version, use v04x.ipfs.io or v03x.ipfs.io, respectively. The latter will stop returning DNS records when v03x isn't supported on the public gateway. Also, while we're releasing v0.4.0 and for a while after, the default bootstrap nodes are divided among v03x and v04x. Most can be used by v04x nodes, and a few by v03x nodes. The latter will be phased out over time.
* [**ifps-firefox-addon**](//github.com/lidel/ipfs-firefox-addon/releases/tag/v1.4.2) The Firefox addon that provides transparent access to IPFS resources via local HTTP2IPFS gateway has been updated to release 1.4.2. This is the first time we've mentioned this in this newsletter; go check it out. It also now supports the IPFS protocol scheme.
* [**go-multiaddr**](//github.com/jbenet/go-multiaddr) go-multiaddr now supports the adding of new protocols on the fly. This allows us to build in new protocols without having to force everyone to update the multiaddr library itself.
* [**community**](//github.com/ipfs/community) The labels 'help wanted' and 'difficulty:easy', ':hard', and ':moderate' have been added to every IPFS repository, to help out contributors know what are some low-hanging fruit they can help with. As well, [@RichardLitt](//github.com/RichardLitt) has created a [Docs Styleguide](https://github.com/ipfs/community/blob/master/docs-styleguide.md) to help standardize how we use English in all of our tools. It'll grow as time goes on.
* [**ipfs-dht**](//github.com/whyrusleeping/ipfs-dht) [@whyrusleeping](//github.com/whyrusleeping) wrote a 'just a dht' binary. This means you can help out the network without running a full ipfs node. It also takes less memory and bandwidth, and having more dht nodes will speed up lookups.
* [**js-ipfs-merkle-dag**](//github.com/vijayee/js-ipfs-merkle-dag/) [@diasdavid](//github.com/diasdavid) worked on merkle-dag implementation interoperabolity, by enabling you to successfully read (and write) MerkleDAG nodes that were stored into an IPFS Repo through go-ipfs, [in JavaScript](https://github.com/vijayee/js-ipfs-merkle-dag/pull/6).
* [**js-ipfsd-ctl**](//github.com/ipfs/js-ipfsd-ctl) The Node module able to control an IPFS daemon was [updated to 0.3.11](//github.com/ipfs/js-ipfsd-ctl/pull/47).
* [**webui**](//github.com/ipfs/webui) The webui no long depends on [jQuery](//github.com/ipfs/webui/pull/215), thanks to a lot of work from [@luigiplr](//github.com/luigiplr), [@travisperson](//github.com/travisperson), and [@dignifiedquire](//github.com/dignifiedquire).


## Work in Progress
* [**js-ipfs**](//github.com/ipfs/pm) [@daviddias](//github.com/daviddias) has merged in the roadmaps for js-ipfs and libp2p, which he'll update as more details become apparent. Take a look.
