Beaker 0.4.2

Not much to see here. You probably shouldn't bother updating.

SIKE! We've got some great updates in this release. It'll really help take your mind off your post-election blues.

Reworked Dat Management and Viewing

We gave the builtin Dat pages a total makeover. Check it out:

API for Dat sites to request Network Access

We updated the navigator.permissions API to include support for requesting network access. Now a Dat site can request permission to break the network sandbox:

navigator.permissions.request({ name: 'network', hostname: 'github.com' }).then(res => {
  if (res.status === 'granted') window.location.reload() // have to reload to take effect
})
