Iroh console is here to help

this release includes iroh console an admin, debugging, and API exploration tool. It's a REPL that can give live feedback as documents change, users sync, etc. For a detailed rundown on console commands, see the iroh command documentation

v0.6.0-alpha.0 - Sync the world

This is the first alpha preview of iroh v0.6.0. iroh v0.6.0 is targeting a Sept 25th release date.

v0.6.0 is a big step toward iroh 1.0. It introduces documents, see our docs pages for a detailed look at the new iroh.

Documents are mutable key-value stores that authors read from, write to, and sync with, subscribing to live updates in real time. For more on documents, see the docmuents, uh, documentation

v0.5.1 - Connectivity Intensifies

First you have to find one another, before you can interact.

This release is all about finding and connecting with your peers. Before iroh could only connect with peers that were directly reachable, eg. static IP address or local LAN peers. Thanks to NATs and the various complications of IPv4 and IPv6 these are not that many machines in the world, and especially mobile devices are hard to discover.

So we are proud to present the first version of iroh with builtin NAT traversal, hole punching and automatic relaying when everything fails.

If you want to find out the details on how all of this works, header over to the [Iroh Hole Punching](https://www.notion.so/Iroh-Hole-Punching-b9a38cc228fb47328a73e71d10520418?pvs=21).

Of course that is not all, we have also fixed some pesky bugs, as well added some more features, like generic collections and pluggable authentication.

On a practical side, iroh is now split into multiple crates:

• iroh - The CLI and main library entry point.
• iroh-bytes - The core data transfer protocol, including resume.
• iroh-net - Nat traversal, peer management and general networking tools.
• iroh-metrics - Metrics collection using prometheus

This should open up more possibilities when integrating just the pieces you need from iroh into your app.

[Note: this ended up being 0.5.1 for iroh and iroh-net due to a publish issue with [email protected]]
