Feature highlight: permanent peering
The Add operation on the Peers screen can now add entries to the Peering config.
Permanent peering is useful when a group of IPFS nodes wants to be always connected to each other for immediate transfer over bitswap (without waiting for DHT lookup).

This release includes bunch of bugfixes contributed by and one new feature.
A big thank you to @hacdias who spent significant time on fixing bugs listed below ❤️
New feature: customize your Public Gateway
The gateway at ipfs.io is provided on a best-effort basis to the community, but using a centralized gateway and domain name acts as a single point of failure. Recently, we've experienced ipfs.io outage due to DNS block issued by a domain registrar. This prompted review of our stack and helped us identify low-hanging fruits that could mitigate bad UX for users going forward.
In this release, we enable users to customize the public gateway. It is used for things like generating Shareable Links on the Files screen, and providing a fallback download option when preview using local gateway is not possible.
Settings screen, ipfs-webui v2.13.0
Give it a try with one of many public gateways.

How to use this before it ships with go-ipfs, js-ipfs and ipfs-desktop?
If you are comfortable with safelisting DNS name to have access to your API port, try DNSLink versions:

If you use IPFS Companion browser extension, use of the latest webui release is opt-in on its Preferences:
Long time no see! What is new?
Experimental support for pinning services, and various updates to Files and Peers screens.
Found a bug? 🐛
We have some improvements planned for future releases, including remote pin progress tracking.
Make sure to check existing issues and v2.13 milestone before filling a new issue. PRs are welcome.
Full list of changes can be found at the end, but first some quick highlights:
Built-in support for remote pinning services
This release comes with support for pin remote commands introduced in go-ipfs 0.8.0.
Remote pinning services added via pin remote service add are already detected, one can also add one from Settings screen:
Then use it in Set pinning action on Files screen:
It is possible to have multiple services defined, and change pinning state for all of them with a single click:
It is also possible to enable auto upload of everything in Files.
This is a GUI for Pinning.RemoteServices..Policies.MFS.Enable. When enabled, IPFS node will periodically update the remote pin for MFS root, removing the need for manually pinning individual files.
Final notes on remote pinning via ipfs-webui:
- For now, remote pins happen in the background, which means we call
pin remote addwith--backgroundflag. - Anyone can run a pinning service, the only requirement is to follow IPFS Pinning Service API spec.
- Just want to see how it works? Pinata provides 1GB of space for free.
- Learn how to work with pinning services.
Progress reporting for bigger imports
There is now UI that displays progress of bigger imports:
Improved MFS removal with built-in pin management
Everything in Files is backed by MFS, which is protected from garbage-collection.
Local pins are independent of MFS, so it is possible to have a local pin that is not listed in Files, or to pin something locally and then remove it from MFS. To avoid "dangling local pins", we improved the Remove action on the Files screen.
When an item is removed from Files, and has a local or a remote pin, the default behavior is to keep the remote pin, but unpin locally:
This frees up the local storage while ensuring remote pins are left untouched.
Improved Peers page
- Latest ipfs-geoip now shows correct location for IP ranges sold/transferred since last update.
- Every cell can now be clicked and a meaningful value will be copied to the clipboard.
- New Open Streams column shows which libp2p streams were established with each peer.
