Introducing Mainnet-Weiss v2.3.4
BitTorrent File System (BTFS) is a next-generation file-sharing protocol in the BitTorrent ecosystem. We’re excited to announce the launch of BTFS v2.3.4 Mainnet-Weiss.
What’s New in BTFS v2.3.4?
- Add support for BTIP-52 (https://github.com/bittorrent/BTIPs/blob/master/BTIPS/BTIP-52.md), which aims to enhance data privacy of file sharing for greater security.
- Add support for file encryption and decryption to ensure that only the shared host can decrypt the encrypted files.
- Introduce btfs encrypt and btfs decrypt commands, utilizing ECIES as the asymmetric algorithm for file encryption and decryption. Although asymmetric encryption may reduce system performance compared to symmetric methods, it provides enhanced convenience for node operation.
- Optimize BTIP-25 (https://github.com/bittorrent/BTIPs/blob/master/BTIPS/BTIP-25.md) and provide support for loose mode in the AWS S3 API to enhance availability when integrating with other AWS S3 compatible tools like rclone, which prevents refusal of requests if the API receives an unknown header or URL parameter.
- Bug fixes.
