Monthly Release: 2017-04-05

Camlistore version 9e34d14ef5 built with Go 1.8.

This release comes with the introduction of GopherJS to help build the web user interface. This enabled the addition of two new features in the web UI: Download and Share. Both actions are available in the side bar whenever an item representing a file is selected. The "Download" button packs all the selected items in a zip archive and downloads the archive. The "Share" button creates a share claim for the selected item, and displays the link that can be used to share the item with the intended audience. Both actions only support files for now (no directories), and Sharing is limited to one item, but these limitations should be addressed soon.

Other notable changes for this release are improvements to the scanning cabinet, especially to its web user interface, and the introduction of a new importer for Plaid, for financial transactions.

Downloads

As usual, this release can also be deployed directly through the launcher.
