🌟 interface-ipfs-core Updates and Changelog 📣

[daviddias]

Ohai!

We are creating this issue in order to have a channel with you, the IPFS users, to communicate interface changes on js-ipfs and js-ipfs-api. Pretty soon we will also have changelogs automatically generated upon each release, but this channel serves the purpose of notifying before hand of such change and also invite you, the user, to let us know ways to make the API better.

Once interface-ipfs-core reaches 1.0.0, the interface changes will be less frequent.

If you want to get notified to js-ipfs and js-ipfs-api interface changes (real updates and proposed updates), please subscribe to this issue

Thank you!
