BTFS V1.5.1(Ada) is out now! In the celebration of the coming International Women’s Day, BTFS Team chooses Ada as the code name for BTFS V1.5.1 to memorate and honor Ada, the world’s first female programmer.

Improvements:

*Enabled BTFS node to collect discovery info from other nodes in its swarm peer table, then report it to Status server

*Added an environment variable to enable accessing wallet remotely if users do need it. This poses potential security risk, use with caution. Refer to https://docs.btfs.io for more info.

*Added GitHub actions to build docker images and publish to GitHub Container Registry automatically

Fixes:

*Import wallet on Host UI Chinese version fails to work

*Gateway doesn’t support download of files inside a folder
