5
+Ipfs 0.4.17 is a quick release to fix two important bugs:
6
+
7
+1. A major performance regression in bitswap (mostly affecting go-ipfs ->
8
+ js-ipfs transfers).
9
+2. A bug resolving files in sharded directories with the gateway.
10
+
11
+However, while motivated by those fixes, it contains a few other goodies that
12
+will excite some users.
13
+
14
+The headline feature in this release is [urlstore][] support. Urlstore is a
15
+generalization of the filestore backend that can fetch file blocks from remote
16
+URLs on-demand instead of storing them in the local datastore.
17
+
18
+Additionally, we've added support for extracting inline blocks from CIDs (blocks
19
+inlined into CIDs using the identity hash function). However, go-ipfs won't yet
20
+*create* such CIDs so you're unlikely to see any in the wild.
