Version 2.9.1 introduces a better progress bar for installing (downloading) Quilt packages. Quilt push now sends objects' uncompressed size to the registry. The progress bar is now based on the total bytes downloaded instead of the number of files.

Shared Local Package Storage

Import packages from shared local directories to save storage overhead and network traffic when sharing packages on the same local network.

Registry Install Stats

Log package installs in the registry to display stats on package use.

New Python API commands

Ported the Quilt registry from MySQL to Postgres

Docker Compose

Improvements to the docker configuration that allows running the registry, catalog, database and authentication service from Docker compose.

Parallel Download

Data fragments can now be downloaded in parallel leading to much faster package installs for large packages.
