Summary

Tailscale's May 2021 update highlights significant developments, including the release of Tailscale v1.8 and the introduction of Taildrop, a feature enabling seamless file transfers between personal devices. The newsletter showcases community contributions such as a Statusbar UI for Ubuntu and various integrations with FreeNAS, Raspberry Pi, and AWS using Terraform. Taildrop, in alpha, facilitates encrypted peer-to-peer file transfers without relying on third-party servers, although currently limited to personal devices only. The update also unveils improvements like Split DNS, enhancing DNS configuration flexibility, and new admin console features for toggling experimental functionalities. The company encourages feedback to enhance its offerings and maintains a focus on user-driven development.
