User-Visible Changes in Tahoe-LAFS
==================================
Release ?? (??)
'''''''''''''''
Release 1.13.0 (18-May-2018)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
unedited list of changes since last release, needs cleanup, explanation,
credit authors, limit to user-visible things
New Features
------------
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). See also `PR502`_.
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 available (`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 be produced less often
(`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`_).

The previous stable release of Tahoe-LAFS was v1.12.1,
released on January 18, 2017.
v1.12.1 fixes a few small problems discovered just after the
v1.12.0 release in the new "multiple-introducers" feature and
the new "--hide-ip" feature (on systems with I2P support but
not Tor).
v1.13.0 fixes several problems with the magic-folder frontend, adds
--json to more commands, adds the "tahoe status" and "tahoe
magic-folder status" commands and some internal refactoring. It is
also now possible to have multiple magic folders in a single Tahoe
client.
A long-standing feature to improve the share-placement algorithm
("servers of happiness") has been updated and merged. "tahoe backup"
now reports progress.
New clients can now be added to a grid using "magic wormhole" [14], a
SPAKE2-based method of securely connecting two computers. This adds
the "tahoe invite" command for a current grid-participant to invite a
new client and a corresponding option "tahoe create-client --join" for
the other side. These use a server at ``wormhole.tahoe-lafs.org``
currently operated by Least Authority.
Please see ``NEWS.rst`` for a more complete list of changes.
