The previous stable release of Tahoe-LAFS was v1.17.1, released on
January 7, 2022.
The previous stable release of Tahoe-LAFS was v1.18.0, released on
October 2, 2022. Major new features and changes in this release:
This release drops support for Python 2 and for Python 3.6 and earlier.
twistd.pid is no longer used (in favour of one with pid + process creation time).
A collection of minor bugs and issues were also fixed.
A new "Grid Manager" feature allows clients to specify any number of
parties whom they will use to limit which storage-server that client
talks to. See docs/managed-grid.rst for more.
The new HTTP-based "Great Black Swamp" protocol is now enabled
(replacing Foolscap). This allows integrators to start with their
favourite HTTP library (instead of implementing Foolscap first). Both
storage-servers and clients support this new protocol.
`tahoe run` will now exit if its stdin is closed (but accepts --allow-stdin-close now).
Mutables may be created with a pre-determined signature key; care must
be taken!
This release drops Python 3.7 support and adds Python 3.11
support. Several performance improvements have been made. Introducer
correctly listens on Tor or I2P. Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 are no
longer tested.
Besides all this there have been dozens of other bug-fixes and
improvements.
Enjoy!
Please see ``NEWS.rst`` [1] for a complete list of changes.
