@vmx.cx wrote up a quick tour of what happened in IPLD and multiformats this year:
🧱 New (much faster!) modular crates for Rust IPLD
🐦 Migration guide if you're still using libipld
✅ Rust multiformats (cid, multihash, multibase) production-ready

we already got kubo nodes embedded in our desktop apps github.com/plebbit/seedit
Works pretty well

Looking at this list and I've contributed to all but two — IPFS and Matrix
My main branch now has holepunching implemented *inside* the QUIC stack. We've implemented the QUIC multipath draft to keep track of all the paths inside the QUIC networking stack.
CI is green and we've already punched a lots of firewalls in the real world!

go.bsky.app/RWSsG9c The IFPS starter pack is great to catch up on the ecosystem. Let me know if you know anyone that should be there but isn't!
Our very own @robin.berjon.com reports from his time at @eurosky.social's Eurosky Live in Berlin two weeks ago. There's a bright future for content addressing on tomorrow's web!

Peergos is starting to get quite awesome. It's the only protocol I'm aware of that has
1) portable identity and data
2) portable social graphs
3) private data
4) private social graph
5) private metadata
6) E2EE (private data, even from your PDS)
7) Tamper proof data (even with compromised PDS)
🛳️ Kubo 0.39 is out!
🎯 DHT Sweep provider now default, self-hosting-friendly
⚡ Fast root CID providing, content findable in <1s
🔧 Auto UPnP recovery after router restarts
📊 New `ipfs provide stat` for monitoring
🖥️ RISC-V prebuilt binaries
github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.39.0
We published a blog post explaining how Provide Sweep enables self-hosted Kubo nodes to reliably advertise millions of CIDs to the Amino DHT with smooth, predictable resource usage.
Now default in Kubo v0.39 after successful testing in v0.38.

But your Honor, if you only split this file in 256 KiB parts, hash them, prepend the length and the hash codec varint and the codec varint and use the result as the children of a dagpb protobuf containing a unixfs protobuf of type file, you will find that my client is unequivocally innocent!
My bafys.
Do not wait anymore. Add some cids to your life today!
We have just selected the main perk for the next IFPS conf.
Guess who wasn't down today? IFPS. And IFPS websites like ours.
We've got a new release out folks! github.com/Peergos/web-...
This let you easily migrate servers with a single click! This of course keeps all your data, friends, and identity intact. There is also a way to request/pay for another server to live mirror your data.
