Release v0.2.2

Our team is working on Siderus Orion to make it better every release. To help us, please submit issues and report errors/problems. This new release includes the following changes:

• Adds crash reports to alert the team in case of errors
• Adds loading wheels/spinner to the windows, some buttons and status bars to let the user understand the IPFS API sometimes are slow
• Hides the menu bar in some windows where it was not necessary
• Detaches the Property window from the Storage Window
• Minor changes on the text

Release v0.2.1

This new release includes the following changes related to new users and to ensure Orion always work in cases where the requirements are missing. yay!

• Orion includes go-ipfs into the packages to ensure compatible binary with the API used (future version of ipfs may break the API used by Orion)
• Temporary files are used for logging the processes running in background (go-ipfs mostly), this will help debug and reports
• The user is alerted in case the main daemon process dies unexpectedly
• In case the main ipfs repository has not been initialized, it will take care of that to ensure the app will work
• Disable custom ipfs binary (as we are including a go-ipfs binary)
• Fixes a bug that was causing empty files when saving IPFS objects to disk

Release v0.2.0

After one year of development this version includes the following changes:

• Renamed the app to Siderus Orion
• Stronger connection to Siderus IPFS Network
• Allows the user to explore IPFS Hashes with a Property window (right-click on a list of hashes -> properties)
• Shows the content of the hashes with file names if available
• Automatically pre-load the content on some gateways (it is possible to disable it)
• Works on Windows, Linux and Mac
• Automatically wrap the content on directories, to maintain file names
• Updates to newer version of packages
• The rendering of each view is way faster than before
• Are you still reading? cool, just download the app and test it yourself!

Release v0.1.1

This release is beta, and its purpose is to validate the main concepts and collect some feedbacks/bugs. If you wants to share something, open a new issue! 👍
The app has the following basic features:

• Starts IPFS Daemon when the app is started (Configurable path for binary file)
• Connects to IPFS Daemon via https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-api
• Sows the user the list of the pinned objects
• Adds a file by interface/buttons or drag-and-drop
• Removes objects from the UI
• Opens using browser (uses https://ipfs.io/ipfs links)
• Allows the user to save an object locally
• Adds a pinned object from hash (useful for file transfers).

More features will come, as well as support for js-ipfs instead of the API. help and feedback is needed! 😸

Download via IPFS

It is possible to download the macOS app using the following hash and command:

# Hash: QmUkPucZ1WUxwGqR979YAKj2UfUsqpSze6MPDcmhtbzmst
ipfs get QmUkPucZ1WUxwGqR979YAKj2UfUsqpSze6MPDcmhtbzmst -o Lumpy-0.1.1

You can also download it from the following link:
http://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUkPucZ1WUxwGqR979YAKj2UfUsqpSze6MPDcmhtbzmst

How to Install and use

This release has been tested on macOS, but ideally can work on Linux as well. What is needed is the IPFS binary installed. Next releases will not rely on IPFS daemon, since the javascript implementation will be used directly. If you have homebrew, you can easily do it by running:

brew install ipfs
ipfs init

Once installed, simply download the Zip file, extract it and double click on the Lumpy.app.

Note: The default path of the binary is /usr/local/bin/ipfs but it is possible to configure in the settings of the app.

Known bugs

#27 [Fixed in master] First run, the daemon won't start in background. Enable it in the settings then restart the app
#28 [Fixed in master] It is not possible to change the API address to use. This is not allowing the user to connect and manage a remote IPFS node.
