Sia-UI v1.1.1

This is a patch release to accompany the v1.1.1 release of Sia. This releases focuses on the renter and hostdb. The renter would previously slow down considerably after about 100 GB of data total had been uploaded, but now will maintain high speeds for much longer than that. While the total amount of data can now easily reach multiple TB, individual files are advised to stay below 100 GB. The hostdb is smarter about scanning and ranking hosts, though may take a few days to get fully adjusted if upgrading.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, our upgrades to the Renter require a full rescan of the blockchain. As a result, if you are upgrading from an older version, siad may take a long time to load the first time you run it. On an HDD, this may take up to an hour. On an SSD it should take closer to 10 minutes.

The UI release contains minor fixes, such as tweaking the minimization behavior and sanitizing folder paths. It also adds an overlay that appears if siad takes a while to load. There are also some additional warnings to prevent users from performing certain actions if they are not yet fully synchronized to the network.

Sia-UI v1.0.4

This is a patch release that adds the Logs plugin, which allows users to view Sia's various log files without leaving the UI. The Logs plugin is hidden by default, but can be revealed via Ctrl+Shift+L.
This release also includes bug fixes and style changes to the Files plugin, among other minor bug fixes.

This release uses the v1.0.4 release of Sia.

Sia-UI v1.0.4 LTS

This is an LTS release that accompanies the standard v1.0.4 release. The code is identical, except that this release is bundled with the v1.0.4-LTS release of Sia. Please read our LTS page describing how LTS releases of Sia will work.

Sia-UI v1.0.3

This is a patch release that improves startup/shutdown behavior, adds functionality to the Files plugin, and fixes many minor bugs.

Signatures are now included in UI releases. They can be verified using the Sia developer key:

openssl dgst -sha256 -verify sia.pem -signature Sia-UI-*.sig Sia-UI-*.zip

This release uses the v1.0.3 release of Sia.

Thanks to @lolsteve for contributing to this release!

Sia-UI v1.0.2

This is a patch release that fixes some minor bugs. The most notable change is that the Overview plugin has been removed in favor of a status bar that is visible from all plugins.

@johnathanhowell has also been tirelessly expanding the UI's test coverage. 😤

This release uses the v1.0.1 release of Sia.

Sia-UI v1.0.1

This is a patch release that fixes price estimation when calculating the allowance in the Files plugin. The old estimation algorithm was susceptible to overpriced hosts dominating the average. The new algorithm ignores outliers when estimating the average host price.
It also fixes a permissions error that prevented Windows users from adding storage folders.

This release uses the 1.0.0 release of Sia.

Sia-UI v1.0.0

Today we are releasing version 1.0 of Sia-UI.

The UI has undergone a complete rewrite in React+Redux, thanks to the efforts of @johnathanhowell and @droghio.

@droghio has written a guide for updating to v1.0.0, available here.

The most important thing to bear in mind is that the UI will now store its siad data (e.g. the blockchain and your wallet) in a globally shared directory: ApplicationSupport on OSX, %APPDATA% on Windows, and ~/.config on Linux.

Note that Sia-UI v1.0.0 is not held to the compatibility promise of Sia v1.0.0. In addition, Sia-UI binaries and release tags will not be signed until automatic updates are implemented (as they are in Sia).

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release, especially the usuals in our Slack #contributors channel who gave feedback on the UI.
