* Release 1.XXX (200X-YY-ZZ)
|
||||
|
||||
** New WUI Style
|
||||
** minor improvements
|
||||
|
||||
WUI Style! It sounds like an ancient Chinese martial art! Or possibly an
|
||||
American Hip Hop group!
|
||||
Uploads of immutable files now use pipelined writes, improving upload speed
|
||||
slightly (10%) over high-latency connections. (#392)
|
||||
|
||||
Slightly faster uploads
|
||||
http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/392
|
||||
??? (This one is not actually here yet.)
|
||||
The human-facing web interface (aka the "WUI") received a significant CSS
|
||||
makeover by Kevin Reid, making it much prettier and easier to read.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
Linux distributions like Fedora and Debian.
|
||||
The WUI "check" and "deep-check" forms now include a "Renew Lease" checkbox,
|
||||
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
|
||||
update -- writing a new mutable file requires encoding and uploading the entire
|
||||
contents of the new version of the file).
|
||||
** minor bugfixes
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
raise test timeouts
|
||||
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
|
||||
The plaintext-hashing code was removed from the Helper interface, removing
|
||||
the Helper's ability to mount a partial-information-guessing attack. (#722)
|
||||
|
||||
** 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
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* Release 1.4.1 (2009-04-13)
