Shorter TCP dial timeouts. This should yield a pretty bit improvement in some cases but may also cause problems (should call it out so that users are aware).
| - Add package overview comments to coreapi ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5108](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5108)) | ||
| - Add README to docs folder ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5095](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5095)) | ||

May want to note the DHT client fixes (libp2p/go-libp2p-kad-dht#166):
- Don't route DHT traffic to client-only DHT nodes.
- Do reply with peer info when we're directly connected to a peer, even if they're not in our routing table.

Actually, are we including libp2p fixes?
|
So this list is pulled from the list of merged PRs. I'm down to put more things in here if you think we should. Otherwise we can just talk about it in the notes. |
|
@whyrusleeping I was kind of hopping we could get the migration to strict CIDs (see #4371 (comment) for checklist) done for this release so the user doesn't have to migrate the repo once again in the next release. (Most of the hard work should be done, I mainly need feedback. The migration code needs testing, but I have been dragging me feet on that as testing is a bit hard with out the target release for the migration.) |
|
@kevina we can just have another release out pretty quick. We need this release to ship as soon as possible, the longer we wait, the worse the DHT gets (due to an issue in the DHT in 0.4.15) |
|
@whyrusleeping okay, that's your call. Unless I am missing something. the user will just have to migrate there repo once for this release and then again for the next, something I was hoping to avoid. |
|
yep. Would have been great to avoid that, but shipping these fixes is more important. |
CHANGELOG.md
Outdated

This is kind of confusing. Maybe "When raw-leaves are enabled create an empty raw leaf instead of a protobuf node when there is no content"
|
I was hoping to sneak in #4956, but I'm okay with punting that to the next release if DHT is in need. |
|
@kevina so, the CID fixes will be rather wide-reaching and I have a feeling that'll take a while to review, test, bake, and deem ready. I'd like to minimize migrations but, well, I think we'll have to get used to running them pretty frequently anyways. Really, we should focus on making them easier to run. |
I've taken a look at that patch and it looks good to me. However, IIRC, you were thinking about erroring out by default? We should probably come to a decision on that before merging. Also, I'd like to be smarter about file versus directory symlinks if possible. |
