| ### 🏎 Bitswap is 30% faster | ||
|
|

| Bitswap is now 30% thanks to fixing a bug on [js-ipfs-bitswap](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-bitswap/pull/175#issuecomment-390957244) that was causing every message to be sent individually. |

Typo "Bitswap is now 30% thanks" -> "Bitswap is now 30% faster, thanks"

| ### ☎️ Circuit Relay was merged in | ||
|
|

| Circuit Relay enables connectivity between any two nodes through a third relay node. This ensures connectivity in almost every scenario, that is, as long as peers can connect to some public IP node. Learn how to use it [here](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/tree/master/examples/circuit-relaying). This was one of the two features that js-ipfs was missing to get full connectivity. |

I feel like this needs more bravado. This is BIG news! Maybe first item? More emoji? Mention NAT traversal?

It is indeed a big deal. We should be careful to mention that we still need a go release to work out all the issues with go interop.
RE: NAT traversal, we might want to say that our next steps are building on top of circuit with true NAT traversal with the use of UPnP and NAT-PMP, which will allow opening external ports on the users router as well as the possibility of using techniques such as dial me back once a ports are mapped and a circuited connection is established - all this might require a new blog post tho 😉.

Also Node.js 10 support... 😉 |

We pack all the patch features into the minor release announcement. I don't want to make Circuit Relay super super flashy (it is already highlighted) because go-ipfs 0.4.15 hasn't been released yet (necessary for circuit relay to have interop) and we don't have DHT yet. Let's make a super flashy announcement when a browser node can connect to any node :) |
Anyone available to do a proof read?
