This is a small update. Release notes here: https://github.com/beakerbrowser/beaker/releases/tag/0.5.1

The most interesting change is that the Dat Web API now has some new aliases:
  • createSite: same as createArchive
  • deleteSite: same as deleteArchive
  • exists: wraps .stat to give true/false, instead of information. Since stat() throws if the target doesnt exist, this can be a convenient alternative.
  • listFiles: same as readDirectory
This mainly reflects the evolving semantics of dat's integration with Beaker. I might eventually deprecate the old method names (createArchive, deleteArchive, readDirectory).

This update also added `bkr open`, and updated `bkr dev` to automatically open the temporary site. Handy for development.
Finally, we have a new community for posting sites created with Beaker, Dat, and IPFS: https://www.reddit.com/r/hashsites/

Cheers all
