![]()  |

| Peers: Agent Versions | 
|---|
![]()  |

| Find files faster with new sorting | 
Additional improvements include a close button in the file viewer, better error handling, and fixed navigation highlighting.
🚨 Improved gateway error pages with diagnostic tools
Gateway error pages now provide more actionable information during content retrieval failures. When a 504 Gateway Timeout occurs, users see detailed retrieval state information including which phase failed and a sample of providers that were attempted:
- Enhanced error details: Timeout errors now display the retrieval phase where failure occurred (e.g., "connecting to providers", "fetching data") and up to 3 peer IDs that were attempted but couldn't deliver the content, making it easier to diagnose network or provider issues.
 - Retry button on all error pages: Every gateway error page now includes a retry button for quick page refresh without manual URL re-entry.

This release  introduces AutoTLS for Secure WebSockets with libp2p.direct public good service run by the Shipyard team, enabling browser clients to securely retrieve data directly from IPFS Desktop providers.
No user action required: if your node is reachable without relays, a TLS certificate will be issued within 2-15 minutes, and a /dns../tls/ws address will be announced automatically.
