The ``tahoe list-aliases`` command gained the ``--readonly-uri``
option in `PR400`_, which lists read-only capabilities (the default
shows read/write capabilities if available). This command also gained
a ``--json`` option in `PR452`_, providing machine-readable output.
A new command ``tahoe status`` is added, showing some statistics and
currently active operations (similar to the ``/status`` page in the
Web UI).
Immutable uploads now use the "servers of happiness" algorithm for
uploading shares. This means better placement of shares on available
servers. See `PR416`_.
To join a new client to a grid, the command ``tahoe invite`` was
added. This uses `magic wormhole`_ to connect two computers and
exchange the required information to start the client. The "client
side" of this command is the also new option ``tahoe
create-client --join=``. Together, this provides a way to provision a
new client without having to securely transmit the fURL and other
details. `PR418`_
``tahoe backup`` now reports progress. `PR474`_
The ``tub.port=`` option can now accept ``listen:i2p`` or
``listen:tor`` options to use popular anonymity networks with storage
servers. See `PR437`_
The place where storage servers put shares (the "storage path") is now
configurable (`PR472`_).
A PyInstaller-based build is now availalbe (`PR421`_). A "Docker
compose" setup for development purposes is now available (`PR445`_).
Bug Fixes in Core
-----------------
Some bugs with pidfile handling were fixed (`PR440`_ and `PR450`_)
meaning invalid pidfiles are now deleted. Error-messages related to
``tahoe.cfg`` now include the full path to the file.
Web UI Changes
--------------
We set the "Referrer-Policy: no-referrer" header on all requests. The
Welcome page now understands the JSON option (`PR430`_) and OPTIONS
requests are handled (`PR447`_).
Magic Folder Changes
--------------------
Multiple magic-folders in a single Tahoe client are now
supported. Bugs with ``.backup`` files have been fixed, meaning
spurious ``.backup`` files will no longer be produced
(`PR448`_). Handling of default umask on new magic-folder files is
fixed in `PR458`_. The user mtime value is now correctly preserved
(`PR457`_).
A bug in ``tahoe magic-folder status`` causing active operations to
sometimes not show up is fixed (`PR461`_).
