## Kubo v0.36.0-rc1 is out!

This release aims to make Kubo more efficient, stable, and user-friendly for high-traffic retrieval operations.

**Highlights:**

- **HTTP Retrieval Client is Enabled:** Blocks now retrieved over HTTPS by default, if the provider supports trustless HTTP retrieval of blocks (`GET /ipfs/cid?format=raw`)
- **Reduced Bitswap Broadcasts:** Dramatically cuts network traffic (up to 80-98%) and bandwidth (up to 50-95%), lowering operational costs and improving IPFS Mainnet stability long term.
- **Smarter AutoNATv2/AutoTLS:** Leads to fewer node startup errors due to improved NAT and public address detection.
- **Enhanced File/Gateway:** Includes `ipfs files cp` overwrite for files and negative HTTP Range request support for gateways.
- **Improved Filestore:** Ability to manually remove bad blocks and heal `filestore`.
- **Configurable Connection Management:** Exposes `ConnMgr.SilencePeriod` for finer control over libp2p connections.
