 # 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, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2949](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2949)), and by completely excluding the private key from the API (@Kubuxu, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2957](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 ([ipfs/go-ipfs@1afebc21](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/commit/1afebc21f324982141ca8a29710da0d6f83ca804)) and July 7th ([ipfs/go-ipfs@39bef0d5](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/commit/39bef0d5b01f70abf679fca2c4d078a2d55620e2)), please update to v0.4.3-rc1 immediately.
+
+- Notable changes
+
+  - Improve Bitswap performance. (@whyrusleeping, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2727](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2727), [ipfs/go-ipfs#2798](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2798))
+  - Improve Content Routing and Peer Routing performance. (@whyrusleeping, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2817](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2817), [ipfs/go-ipfs#2841](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2841))
+  - Improve datastore, blockstore, and dagstore performance.

+  - 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, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2939](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, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2903](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2903))
+  - We now automatically raise the file descriptor limit to 1024 if neccessary. (@whyrusleeping, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2884](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2884), [ipfs/go-ipfs#2891](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, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2840](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2840), [ipfs/go-libp2p-transport@88244000](https://github.com/ipfs/go-libp2p-transport/commit/88244000f0ce8851ffcfbac746ebc0794b71d2a4))
+  - There is now documentation for the configuration options in `docs/config.md`. (@whyrusleeping, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2974](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.
+    - [ipfs/go-ipfs#2822](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, [ipfs/go-ipfs#2749](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2749))
+    - [ipfs/go-ipfs#2902](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/2902)
