| 15 | +## 🕹 Web UI 2.0 |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +The IPFS Web UI has been given a HUGE revamp and is now 10x, no, 100x better than before! 😄 |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +* **Check the status** of your node, it's Peer ID and connection info, the network traffic and the number of connected peers |
| 20 | +* Easily **manage files** in your IPFS repo. You can drag and drop to add files, move and rename them, delete, share or download them |
| 21 | +* You can **explore IPLD data** that underpins how IPFS works |
| 22 | +* See all of your **connected peers**, geolocated by their IP address |
| 23 | +* **Review the settings** for your IPFS node, and update them to better suit your needs |
| 24 | + |

| 31 | +## 🛠 CID tool |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +A command line tool for converting, formatting and discovering properties of CIDs. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +In the near future IPFS will be switching it's [**default** CID version for added content to version 1 and will use base 32 encoding for serialized CIDs](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/issues/4143). This tool gives you the power to inspect and learn about CIDs as well as convert any CIDs you've been using from whatever base they're encoded in to a different base! |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +* [Documentation](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/js-cid-tool) |
| 38 | +* [Demo video](https://youtu.be/SMhy99yUVGk?t=299) |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +# 🏗 API Changes |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +* Added CLI command `ipfs cid [sub-command]` |
| 43 | + * View the help with `ipfs cid --help` or view the [documentation online](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/js-cid-tool) |
| 44 | +* `ipfs.types.dagCBOR` and `ipfs.types.dagPB` have been removed |
| 45 | + * See [#1626](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/pull/1626) and [#374](https://github.com/ipfs/interface-ipfs-core/pull/374#pullrequestreview-164611060) for more information |
| 46 | +* `dag-cbor` nodes retrieved from `ipfs.dag.get` now represent links as [CID](https://github.com/ipld/js-cid) instances not `{"/": "base-encoded-cid"}` objects |
| 47 | + * See [#1668](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/pull/1668) for more information |
