NEW VERSION RELEASED

We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.4 of Allmydata-Tahoe, a
secure, decentralized storage grid under a free-software licence. This is
the follow-up to v0.2 which was released May 2, 2007 (see [1]).
the follow-up to v0.3 which was released June 6, 2007 (see [1]).
Since then we've made several improvements, including:
* fix IP address configuration so that you can run a node behind a firewall
or NAT box (ticket #22)
* Add encrypted, mutable directories, so that you can organize your files
into directories, change the contents of directories, and share your
directories with your friends, without thereby sharing your directories
with anyone else -- not even with the owners of the servers that host
your directories.
* better packaging, build process, command-line, documentation (tickets #8,
#21, #23, #35, #46, #51)
* handle the loss of peers during the upload process by uploading to the
remaining peers (ticket #17)
* display size of files (ticket #37) (thanks to Faried Nawaz)
* private storage -- upload a file without publishing its decryption key
(ticket #33) (thanks to Faried Nawaz)
* add Merkle-Tree authentication on ciphertext and on plaintext (ticket #64)
* enable SSL encryption on the connection between web browser and node
(ticket #55)
* improved unit tests including memory-usage tests
* faster unit tests (ticket #20)
* upgrade to a newer version of Foolscap, the remote object protocol
* make it so that web browsers can connect to the Tahoe node securely with
https (ticket #55)
For complete details (there are other improvements that are not in the above
list), see this web page which shows all ticket changes, repository checkins,
and wiki changes from May 3 to today: [2].

Allmydata-Tahoe v0.3 is incompatible with v0.2 due to the new Merkle-Tree
authentication among other things.
Allmydata-Tahoe v0.4 is incompatible with v0.3 due to the new encrypted
directory structure, among other things. (Note that this applies only to
directories -- individual files uploaded with v0.3 are probably downloadable
with v0.4.)
