📝 Self-mutating websites

Beaker now allows applications to modify their own files using the DatArchive API. This enables a model for simple, self-contained web apps such as wikis and todo lists. This decision is part of an ongoing security discussion. We'll blog about this soon.

🗑 Dat Garbage Collector

This is something you probably thought Beaker already did. Surprise! We just got around to it.

As you browse Dat sites, you collect a cache of files which stay on your disk so that reloads are fast. The "Garbage Collector" clears out those cache files after 5 days of no access. The collector does not delete files of dats that the user has saved to their library.

👆 Dat picker API

Thanks to @taravancil we now have an API for selecting an archive from the user's library, using a modal dialog. Think of this like the file-picker, for Dat archives. It includes the ability to create a new archive, if the user chooses.

Example usecase: a text editor would use this API to prompt the user for the Dat they want to edit.

var archive = await DatArchive.selectArchive({
  title: "Select an archive",
  buttonLabel: "Submit",
  filters: {isOwner: true}
})
