| - Opened an issue proposing a workshop using the file API (rather than DAG API) for ProtoSchool. (All current workshops use the DAG API so it’s not being surfaced that file transfer is possible.) Open to suggestions and feedback at https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/proto.school/issues/91 |

That would be great! A lot of people get confused between the Files API with the DAG API and the Block API

No. Most of the time available has gone on
- Dealing with errors where a previous ifps deaemon wasn't shutdown properly feat: cleanup repository before starting up IPFS ipfs-desktop#722 - this ment the app would fail to start if the user previously ran
ipfs daemonmanually, and didn't wait for the process to shutdown gracefully when exiting. - Dealing with issues related to CORS that was raised during reviews of the unclean startup PR. We were initially editing the users node config to include a CORS origin for webui://- which is the fake scheme under which we serve the webui from within the electron app. We then decided that we didn't want to leave the user with a node config that included a CORS origin that would live on beyond the life of the app, as we can't predict how it could be abused in the future.
- So @hacdias refactored to proxying ipfs but a quick test showed that it crashed the electron webview on large files. This is probably fixable, but we decided to keep things simple and disable CORS checks for the webview, as we are in control of the window and the webui code. As a precuation we are enabling the other electron security recommendations in feat: improve security of electron app ipfs-desktop#741
I'd like to have a pre-release this afternoon, though it looks like it will have to be tomorrow now, and get it installed on gui team machines, so we can test out the auto-update mechanism, and then invite the IPFS org to give it a go.
