ANNOUNCING: Allmydata-Tahoe version 0.7
ANNOUNCING: Allmydata-Tahoe version 0.8
We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.7 of allmydata.org
We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.8 of allmydata.org
"Tahoe".
Tahoe is a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem. All of
the source code is available under a Free Software, Open Source
licence (or two).
Allmydata.org "Tahoe" is a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant
filesystem. All of the source code is available under a Free
Software, Open Source licence (or two).
This filesystem is encrypted and distributed over multiple peers in
such a way that it continues to work correctlly even when some of the
peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious.
This is the successor to Allmydata-Tahoe v0.6.1, which was released
October 15, 2007 [1].
This is the successor to Allmydata-Tahoe v0.7, which was released
January 8, 2008 [1].
This release adds decentralized, encrypted directories and mutable
files, making it the first release of Tahoe in which no part of the
filesystem is centralized. It also adds a FUSE interface, allowing
you to access a distributed Tahoe grid as if it were a normal local
filesystem.
This release improves performance, diagnostics, and packaging. This
release of allmydata.org "Tahoe" will form the basis of the next
consumer backup product from Allmydata, Inc. -- http://allmydata.com .
This is also the first release to be offered under a novel open source
licence which allows people to redistributed proprietary derivatives
of Tahoe for a limited time.
Since v0.7 we've made the following changes:
* Add an upload/download helper, with resumption and short-circuiting
of upload if the file is already uploaded (tickets #116, #258,
#218).
* Add a preliminary Microsoft Windows package (ticket #195).
* Add a preliminary Macintosh package (ticket #182).
* Display information about peers (ticket #32).
* Display information about uploads and downloads (ticket #39).
* Add unit tests and docs for contrib/fuse.
* Update docs, starting with docs/about.html --
http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/about.html .
* Improve logging, diagnostic tools, statistics, timing of upload
performance, etc..
* Make upload continue even if some servers disappear during the
upload process.
* Make introduction more efficient by allowing nodes to act as
clients-only and not publish themselves as servers (ticket #271).
* Extend the web API to allow programmatic control of mutable files.
* Fix potential problem that could cause corruption of downloaded
mutable files if a long series of unlikely coincidences and hacked
clients occurred (ticket #312).
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
