 # go-ipfs changelog
 
+### 0.4.3-rc1 - 2016-07-23
+
+This is a maintenance release which comes with a couple of nice enhancements, and improves the performance of Storage, Bitswap, as well as Content and Peer Routing. It also introduces a handful of new commands and options, and fixes a good bunch of bugs.
+
+This is the first Release Candidate. Unless there are vulnerabilities or regressions discovered, the final 0.4.3 release will happen about one week from now.
+
+- Security Vulnerability
+
+  - We are thankful that a group of independent researchers made us aware of a vulnerability which the `master` branch suffered from for about 3 weeks. It allowed an attacker to e.g. use an iframe to request malicious HTML and JS from the API of a local go-ipfs node, and use this to then extract the node's private key. We fixed this issue by reintroducing restrictions on which particular objects can be loaded through the API (@lgierth, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2949), and by completely excluding the private key from the API (@Kubuxu, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2957). We will also work on more hardening of the API in the next release.
+  - The previous release 0.4.2 is not vulnerable. If you're running go-ipfs built from the `master` branch between [June 17th (commit 1afebc21)](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/commit/1afebc21f324982141ca8a29710da0d6f83ca804) and [July 7th (commit 39bef0d5)](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/commit/39bef0d5b01f70abf679fca2c4d078a2d55620e2), please update to v0.4.3-rc1 immediately.
+
+- Notable changes
+
+  - Improve Bitswap performance. (@whyrusleeping, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2727, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2798)
+  - Improve Content Routing and Peer Routing performance. (@whyrusleeping, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2817, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2841)
+  - Improve datastore, blockstore, and dagstore performance. (@kevina, @Kubuxu, @whyrusleeping https://github.com/ipfs/go-datastore/pull/43, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2885, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2961, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2953, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2960)
+  - Content Providers are now stored on disk to gain savings on process memory. (@whyrusleeping, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2804, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2860)
+  - Migrations of the fs-repo (usually stored at `~/.ipfs`) now run automatically. If there's a TTY available, you'll get prompted when running `ipfs daemon`, and in addition you can use the `--migrate=true` or `--migrate=false` options to avoid the prompt. (@whyrusleeping, @lgierth, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2939)
+  - The internal naming of blocks in the blockstore has changed, which requires a migration of the fs-repo, from version 3 to 4. (@whyrusleeping, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2903)
+  - We now automatically raise the file descriptor limit to 1024 if neccessary. (@whyrusleeping, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2884, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2891)
+  - After a long struggle with deadlocks and hanging connections, we've decided to disable the uTP transport by default for now. (@whyrusleeping, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2840, https://github.com/ipfs/go-libp2p-transport/commit/88244000f0ce8851ffcfbac746ebc0794b71d2a4)
+  - There is now documentation for the configuration options in `docs/config.md`. (@whyrusleeping, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2974)
+  - TODO: stdin handling
+    - All commands now sanely handle the combination of stdin and optional flags in certain edge cases.
+    - https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2822
+    - Remove stdin handling from `ipfs init` which was introduced in the previous release (v0.4.2), since it caused the command to hang in certain environments. (@lgierth, https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2749)
+    - https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2902
+    - https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2913
+    - https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2952
