BREAKING CHANGE: Object API refactor. Object API methods that write DAG nodes now return a CID instead of a DAG node. Affected methods: * `ipfs.object.new` * `ipfs.object.patch.addLink` * `ipfs.object.patch.appendData` * `ipfs.object.patch.rmLink` * `ipfs.object.patch.setData` * `ipfs.object.put` Example: ```js // Before const dagNode = await ipfs.object.new() ``` ```js // After const cid = await ipfs.object.new() // now returns a CID const dagNode = await ipfs.object.get(cid) // fetch the DAG node that was created ``` IMPORTANT: `DAGNode` instances, which are part of the IPLD dag-pb format have been refactored. These instances no longer have `multihash`, `cid` or `serialized` properties. This effects the following API methods that return these types of objects: * `ipfs.object.get` * `ipfs.dag.get` See ipld/js-ipld-dag-pb#99 for more information.
