We are also changing the way that people write 'ipfs' multiaddrs. Currently,

However, calling them 'ipfs' multiaddrs is a bit misleading, as this is actually
the multiaddr of a libp2p peer that happens to run ipfs. Other protocols built
on libp2p right now still have to use multiaddrs that say 'ipfs', without
actually having anything to do with ipfs. Therefore, we are renaming them to

This release adds support for *parsing* both types of addresses (`.../ipfs/...`
and `.../p2p/...`) into the same network format, and the network format is
remaining exactly the same. A future release will have the ipfs daemon switch to
*printing* out addresses this way, once a large enough portion of the network

N.B., these addresses are *not* related to IPFS *file* names (`/ipfs/Qm...`).

The second feature added is the automatic inclusion of the git plugin in the

and commit graphs directly. For more information on this, see [the go-ipld-git
