preparations for js-ipfs 0.36

[alanshaw]

👋 I upgraded ipfs to 0.36.0-rc.0 and some of the tests failed 😢. Please check out the release issue for info on breaking changes.

Looking at this a bit closer it looks like we need to expand the orbit-db-io module to handle base64 hashes in addition to pb and cbor. Does that sound right, @shamb0t ?

[shamb0t]

@aphelionz the codecs are still pb and cbor, the base has changed to base32. But yes should be a small fix in orbit-db-io converting the hashes to base58

[aphelionz]

Ah ok! My bad

[shamb0t]

Versions 0.34.4 and 0.36.3 appear to give different hashes for the same object. Not sure if I'm missing something. Opened an issue here ipfs/js-ipfs#2141 @alanshaw maybe you can shine some light?

[satazor]

@shamb0t you seem to have updated orbit-db-io default base to be base58. Is there any other issues preventing us from upgrading?

[shamb0t]

👋 @satazor that's right, ipfs should already be upgraded in orbit-db@0.21.3 so I believe this can be closed

Awesome @shamb0t 💪
