v0.9.4

Patch release with fixes and features:

fixes:

• prompt user to sign password message while registering
• add new wasi build target to README
• upgrade kit
• make globe widget more robust
• app store UI fixes
• make terminal logging finite and configurable

features:

• new homepage design
• persist user-set app ordering on homepage
• better kernel errors

Additionally, the docs userspace app has been removed -- you can now find it for download on the App Store! Note that nodes which have already been booted with docs will keep the app, but it will no longer be bootstrapped into newly-created nodes.

Running the Binary

To run the binary, you must indicate where the home folder for the node will be. You may also optionally specify your HTTP port. The default if unspecified is the first free port at or above 8080. Here's an example:

./kinode home/mynodename

v0.9.3

A patch release with a major improvement on open file handles as handled by the VFS. Also contains improvements to HTTP server path-binding, allowing processes to receive requests on subpaths even if they did not bind that exact path. Also contains terminal driver fixes allowing it to properly handle unicode characters. Lastly, we've updated the docs app to serve data dynamically, reducing node memory usage.

Running the Binary

To run the binary, you must indicate where the home folder for the node will be. You may also optionally specify your HTTP port. The default if unspecified is the first free port at or above 8080. Here's an example:

Full Changelog: v0.9.0...v0.9.1

Beta 0.9.0

Warning: this release spams ETH RPC requests. Please use 0.9.1 instead!

Since we are still pre-1.0, this release contains breaking changes from 0.8.7. Nodes running 0.9.0 will NOT be able to communicate with node running 0.8.?. This is because 0.9.0 uses a different smart contract, Kimap, to back the KNS protocol. The App Store now uses Kimap as well, so applications will need to be republished.

We strongly encourage you to upgrade local nodes to 0.9.0 as soon as possible. Upgrading should also be seamless. You can safely boot an older node with this release.

For Developers

Because we have migrated to a new smart contract, Kimap, you'll need to re-publish your packages. There are two flows that you'll be able to use:

1. An updated version of the same App Store GUI flow you know and love from 0.8.x
2. A new and shiny kit publish

Whichever you choose, we'll be hanging out in the Kinode Discord, so drop us a line if you run into issues
