Release preparation v1.42

Let’s have some fun with the QA satellite. If you need an account on the QA satellite please let me know. I can send you an invite link.

Satellite UI Navigation
Currently deployed on the QA satellite is a new navigation. We identify a few bugs with the new navigation. Luckily we have a feature flag in place so we can release the new satellite version one way or the other. Even if we decide to go into production with the old navigation we will keep the new navigation enabled on the QA satellite. Your early feedback is welcome.

Uplinkng
We are working on an uplink CLI redesign. For the time being it is called uplinkng. Once development is finished we will rename uplinkng into uplink. So it will replace the current uplink binaries at some point. See [Tech Preview] Uplinkng (new enhanced uplink cli) for more information.

Multinode Dashboard Payout Estimation
A small bug fix but with a huge impact. The multinode dashboard can now estimate the total payout of all storage nodes.

QA test network
The QA satellite is connected to 300 storage nodes. We are currently setting up a second version control service (https://version.qa.storj.io/). The current storage node updater can’t deal with release candidates. We have a fix incoming and can hopefully soon start to build a public test network with automatic updates. See Please join our public test network for more information.

Pre Release Binaires
All binaries are available on github. That way you should be able to test early without having to compile the binaries yourself. The multinode dashboard fix is nice. You don’t have to wait for the release next week. You can try it out early :slight_smile:

That are a lot of changes this time. I have the feeling I might have missed an important change. @igaass @Andrii anything you would like to add?
