Overview

🔦 Highlights

WebUI: Updated Peers View

WebUI v4.2.0 shipped with updated ipfs-geoip dataset and ability to filter the peers table.

RPC API.Authorizations

Kubo RPC API now supports optional HTTP Authorization.

Granular control over user access to the RPC can be defined in the API.Authorizations map in the configuration file, allowing different users or apps to have unique access secrets and allowed paths.

This feature is opt-in. By default, no authorization is set up. For configuration instructions, refer to the documentation.

MPLEX Removal

After deprecating and removing mplex support by default in v0.23.0.

We now fully removed it. If you still need mplex support to talk with other pieces of software, please try updating them, and if they don't support yamux or QUIC talk to us about it.

Mplex is unreliable by design, it will drop data and generete errors when sending data too fast, yamux and QUIC support backpressure, that means if we send data faster than the remote machine can process it, we slows down to match the remote's speed.

Graphsync Experiment Removal

Currently the Graphsync server is to our knowledge not used due to lack of compatible software. And we are left to have to maintain the go-graphsync implementation when trying to update Kubo because some dependency changed and it fails to build anymore.

For more information see #9747.

Commands ipfs key sign and ipfs key verify

This allows the Kubo node to sign arbitrary bytes to prove ownership of a PeerID or an IPNS Name. To avoid signature reuse, the signed payload is always prefixed with libp2p-key signed message:.

These commands are also both available through the RPC client and implemented in client/rpc.

For more information see #10230.
