With this release, we are adding an exciting feature that really showcases how powerful Dat is, selective sync. Using the CLI you can now specify which files you want to download either with an option or using the .datdownload
file. dat sync
will download and keep updated on the selected files. This means you can put large datasets into Dat but have control over what files you download where.
- Selective Sync (dat-ecosystem#834)
- Key management (dat-ecosystem#828)
- Commands run faster via lazy required modules (dat-ecosystem#821)
- Throttling - sometimes Dat goes too fast, so you can limit the upload + download speeds. (dat-ecosystem#806)
- Publish metadata to registry when publishing (dat-ecosystem#812)
- Use dat-node http support directly (dat-ecosystem#817)
- Use npm package for registry testing.
