Release v0.18.0 · ipfs/boxo

Added

blockservice now has ContextWithSession and EmbedSessionInContext functions, which allows to embed a session in a context. Future calls to BlockGetter.GetBlock, BlockGetter.GetBlocks and NewSession will use the session in the context.
blockservice.NewWritethrough deprecated function has been removed, instead you can do blockservice.New(..., ..., WriteThrough()) like previously.
gateway: a new header configuration middleware has been added to replace the existing header configuration, which can be used more generically.
namesys now has a WithMaxCacheTTL option, which allows you to define a maximum TTL that will be used for caching IPNS entries.

🛠 boxo/gateway: when making a trustless CAR request with the "entity-bytes" parameter, using a negative index greater than the underlying entity length could trigger reading more data than intended
🛠 boxo/gateway: the header configuration Config.Headers and AddAccessControlHeaders has been replaced by the new middleware provided by NewHeaders.
🛠 routing/http/client: the default HTTP client is no longer a global singleton. Therefore, using WithUserAgent won't modify the user agent of existing routing clients. This will also prevent potential race conditions. In addition, incompatible options will now return errors instead of silently failing.
