Key Upgrades in v3.2.0 Beta
The latest release of the BTFS protocol includes significant improvements, such as the implementation of BTIP-79, which allows for the filtering of Content Identifiers (CIDs) when accessed through the gateway.

Additionally, the update provides a comprehensive resource summary for the libp2p resource manager, giving users a detailed overview of the resources utilized. Another notable enhancement is the inclusion of modification timestamps for files stored in the Mutable File System (MFS), allowing users to keep track of the most recent edits.

The GitHub repository for the beta version can be accessed by developers, and a dedicated BTFS Dashboard repository is also provided. Users can visit the official BTFS website and BTFS SCAN for further documentation and insights into the new version.
The BTFS team continues to engage with its community through various platforms. Users and developers are encouraged to connect on Discord, Medium, and X (formerly Twitter) to share insights, ask questions, and collaborate on future developments.
