  Apps will need to update to this webnative version to load migrated/new filesystems.
• CID strings have been replaced with CID class instances from the multiformats library.

Features

• Adds ability to share private files.
• Adds soft/symbolic links.
• Adds dependency injection for initialising and registering accounts.

Fixes

Circular dependencies.

0.28.0 - Banshee

Changelog

• Breaking changes ❤️‍🩹
  • Updated keystore-idb to v0.15.0, which renamed publicReadKey() to publicExchangeKey() (among other functions). The read key-pair is now properly named the exchange key-pair.
• Features ✨
  • Added the fs.addPublicExchangeKey() function which adds the public exchange key of that domain/browser/device to your filesystem at /public/.well-known/exchange/DID_KEY. Along with the fs.hasPublicExchangeKey() to check if it's there.
• Bugfixes 🐛
  • Made the login low more resilient. Should work better with extensions triggering postMessages now.

Release Mascot

The woeful banshee is a spiteful creature formed from the spirit of a female elf. Its face is wreathed in a wild tangle of hair, its body clad in wispy rags that flutter and stream around it.

Azer

Changelog

• Bugfixes 🐛
  • Fixed webnative.apps.index(). This method now returns a list of domains, along with their insertedAt and modifiedAt ISO8601 timestamps.
  • Fixed webnative.apps.deleteByDomain() so it aligns with backend changes.

Release Mascot

The wizard stood before us, and sprung from her finger snap a terrifying flaming man, borne from the planes of fire.
