SC ‘s Head of Support; Steve Funk: Dev Update for week of December 9th, 2018

19 Merge Requests were merged into the Sia repository this week!

The big development news this week was the announcement of a new API documentation website. https://sia.tech/docs will hold all the API documentation in a beautiful, interactive format.

With version 1.4.0+ Sia will have support much better file organization with Sia being aware of directories and the files in each directory. This will help Sia scale to large numbers of files and directories while still offering a performant API. Core dev Matt just completed one of the API endpoints required for this upcoming improvement.

Another big feature slated for 1.4.0 is the ability to download partial files. This feature was started last week by Chris. This feature enables a user to download just a portion of a file, saving bandwidth and fees when only part of a file is needed.
