Galacteek 0.5.0

Release log

This release introduces support for remote pinning.

All IPFS services (pubsub, p2p) are now part of the application's services graph (the application is now designed as a graph of services, you can view the graph in the Settings workspace).

Added

  • Use go-ipfs version: 0.8.0
  • Use PyQt version: 5.15.2
  • Use PyQtWebEngine version: 5.15.2
  • Support for remote pinning services (yay!)
    • Configure your RPS from the settings (tested with Pinata)
    • From the PIN object buttons (blue pin) you can choose to
      pin with a remote service or to your IPFS node
    • Add a status icon for remote pinning (basic for now)
  • Add a workspace action to view the application's services graph
    (you need graphviz installed for this to work)
  • Add coroutines to load services dynamically from the
    services Python package

Changed

  • Support for mkdocs themes (bootswatch) for your dwebsites
    (darkly is the default)
  • Easier to publish/unpublish websites, dynamic content .. on your DID
  • Easier to create and publish a markdown website
  • QA toolbar: modernize, should now support large number of items
  • Use a dock instead of a status bar
  • MFS: recursive collapse when double-clicking an already-expanded
    directory
  • Pubsub services are now part of the services tree
  • P2P services (like the DIDauth service) are now part of the
    services tree

Fixed

  • Fix mkdocs website creation on non-Linux platforms
  • Focus bug in the markdown editor

Using the AppImage

After downloading the AppImage, make it executable and then run it:

chmod +x Galacteek-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage
./Galacteek-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage

The AppImage does not bundle libstdc++. If you use a Linux system with an old libstdc++ and cannot run the AppImage, please open an issue.

Be sure to install all the gstreamer packages to be able to use the mediaplayer.

Trouble with running the AppImage ? Check the wiki or file an issue

Using the DMG image

After opening/mounting the DMG image, hold Control and click on the galacteek icon, select Open and then accept. You probably need to allow the system to install applications from anywhere in the security settings.
