 # go-ipfs changelog
 
-## 0.4.16
+## 0.4.17-rc1 2018-07-20
+
+Ipfs 0.4.17 is a quick release to fix two important bugs:
+
+1. A major performance regression in bitswap (mostly affecting go-ipfs ->
+   js-ipfs transfers).
+2. A bug resolving files in sharded directories with the gateway.
+
+However, while motivated by those fixes, it contains a few other goodies that
+will excite some users.
+
+The headline feature in this release is [urlstore][] support. Urlstore is a
+generalization of the filestore backend that can fetch file blocks from remote
+URLs on-demand instead of storing them in the local datastore.
+
+Additionally, we've added support for extracting inline blocks from CIDs (blocks
+inlined into CIDs using the identity hash function). However, go-ipfs won't yet
+*create* such CIDs so you're unlikely to see any in the wild.
+
+[urlstore]: https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/experimental-features.md#ipfs-urlstore
+
+Features:
+
+* URLStore ([ipfs/go-ipfs#4896](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/4896))
+* Add trickle-dag support to the urlstore ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5245](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5245)).
+* Allow specifying how the data field in the `object get` is encoded ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5139](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5139))
+* Add a `-U` flag to `files ls` to disable sorting ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5219](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5219))
+* Add an efficient `--size-only` flag to the `repo stat` ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5010](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5010))
+* Inline blocks in CIDs ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5117](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5117))
+
+Changes/Fixes:

+* Improve prefetching in `ipfs cat` and related commands ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5162](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5162))
+* Better error message when `ipfs cp` fails ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5218](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5218))
+* Don't wait for the peer to close it's end of a bitswap stream before considering the block "sent" ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5258](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5258))
+* Fix resolving links in sharded directories via the gateway ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5271](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5271))
+* Fix building when there's a space in the current directory ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5261](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5261))
+

+
+* Improve documentation about the bloomfilter config options ([ipfs/go-ipfs#4924](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/4924))
+
+General refactorings and internal bug fixes:
+
+* Remove the `Offset()` method from the DAGReader ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5190](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5190))
+* Fix TestLargeWriteChunks seek behavior ([ipfs/go-ipfs#5276](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/pull/5276))
