* Release 1.XXX (200X-YY-ZZ) * Release 1.XXX (200X-YY-ZZ)
** New WUI Style ** minor improvements
WUI Style! It sounds like an ancient Chinese martial art! Or possibly an Uploads of immutable files now use pipelined writes, improving upload speed
American Hip Hop group! slightly (10%) over high-latency connections. (#392)
Slightly faster uploads The human-facing web interface (aka the "WUI") received a significant CSS
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/392 makeover by Kevin Reid, making it much prettier and easier to read.
??? (This one is not actually here yet.)
Port to ARM CPUs and embedded boxes such as NASes. The 3.5MB limit on mutable files was removed, so it should be possible to
upload arbitrarily-sized mutable files. Note, however, that the data format
and algorithm remains the same, so larger files will suffer from poor speed,
data transfer overhead, memory consumption, and alacrity until "MDMF" mutable
files (#393) are implemented. (#694)
Packaging improvements to make Tahoe's packaging acceptable for inclusion in The WUI "check" and "deep-check" forms now include a "Renew Lease" checkbox,
Linux distributions like Fedora and Debian. mirroring the CLI --add-lease option, so leases can be added or renewed from
the web interface.
Remove limit on size of mutable files (but note that there is no efficient ** minor bugfixes
update -- writing a new mutable file requires encoding and uploading the entire
contents of the new version of the file).
A bug in 1.4.1 which caused a server to be listed multiple times (and
frequently broke all connections to that server) was fixed. (#653)
fix quicktest The plaintext-hashing code was removed from the Helper interface, removing
raise test timeouts the Helper's ability to mount a partial-information-guessing attack. (#722)
pipeline uploads #392
test for py2.4.0/py2.4.1 base64.b32decode bug
switch to foolscap-0.4.1
fix #653 rref-EQ
make wui prettier
minor docs updates
remove plaintext-hashing code from helper interface, #722
require sqlite3 or pysqlite2, remove --no-backupdb from 'tahoe backup'
remove limit on SDMF size (no performance improvements though)
work on netbsd
add --renew-lease checkbox to WUI
** platform/packaging changes
Tahoe now runs on NetBSD.
Unit test timeouts have been raised to allow the tests to complete on
extremely slow platforms like embedded ARM-based NAS boxes. An ARM-specific
data-corrupting bug in an older version of Crypto++ (5.5.2) was identified,
ARM-users are encouraged to use recent Crypto++/pycryptopp which avoids this
problem.
Tahoe now requires a SQLite library, either the sqlite3 that comes built-in
with python2.5/2.6, or the add-on pysqlite2 if you're using python2.4. In the
previous release, this was only needed for the "tahoe backup" command, now it
is mandatory.
Several minor documentation updates were made.
To help get Tahoe into Linux distributions like Fedora and Debian, packaging
improvements are being made in both Tahoe and related libraries like
pycryptopp and zfec.
** dependency updates
foolscap-0.4.1
no python-2.4.0 or 2.4.1 (2.4.2 is good)
(they contained a bug in base64.b32decode)
avoid python-2.6 on windows with mingw, compiler issues
python2.4 requires pysqlite2 (2.5,2.6 does not)
no python-3.x
