v2.3.0

Changes since v2.2.2

• Upload screen just got much better!
  • Visual feedback on upload status (and various bugfixes) (PR #483)

    

  • Users can now upload multiple files and Companion will keep the filenames! (#349, PR #479)
    • Wrapping (just like pinning) is enabled by default when using an external node, but users can opt-out in cases when they want to get raw CID of a single file:

      

• Improved security of window.ipfs (low hanging fruits, see PR #484)
  • Exposing window.ipfs only in Secure Contexts
  • Removed access to sensitive APIs until proper sandboxing is introduced

Known Issues

• Directory wrapping and upload of multiple files are not supported when embedded node is used
  (but will be fixed when a new js-ipfs release lands later this month)
• Chrome has issues with uploads to external node that are bigger than 128MiB, we had to introduce size limit to avoid crash. (more info in #464)
• When using external node Firefox should be able to handle uploads under 2GiB (as long it has enough memory to buffer the data), but YMMV and don't go too extreme.. yet :)

Installation via Stable Channel
