User-Visible Changes in Tahoe-LAFS
==================================
Release 1.9.0 (2011-??-??)
--------------------------
WORK IN PROGRESS
New Features
''''''''''''
- MDMF! #393
- blacklist #1425
- immutable-download timeline viz (#?)
- drop-upload feature (experimental) #1429
Configuration/Behavior Changes
'''''''''''''''''''''
- reject old-style (discrete) config files from <v1.3 #1385
- measure space of storage/shares/, not storage/ #1384
- 'tahoe cp xyz MUTABLE' will modify the existing mutable file instead of
creating a new one
- WUI button says "unlink" instead of "del", change docs, allow 'tahoe
unlink' #1104
Notable Bugfixes
''''''''''''''''
- 'tahoe put/cp' uploads didn't appear in history #1079
- verifier: serialize block fetches, reduce RAM footprint #1395
- make large immutable downloads faster (coalesce Share.loop() calls) #1268
Packaging Changes
'''''''''''''''''
- remove debian packaging #1454
- remove contrib/fuse #1409
- The unmaintained FUSE plugins were removed from the source tree. See
docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst for how to use sshfs. (`#1409`_)
- replace foolscap[secure_connections] dep with one on pyopenssl #1383
- bump Twisted dependency to >=10.1
- bump zope.interface dep to <=3.6.2 or >=3.6.6 #1435
- extra-permission changes in license
- no longer need to patch Twisted for FTP, when using Twisted >= 10.1
Minor Changes
'''''''''''''
- minor: #1355, #1366, #1388, #1389, #1391, #1297, #1342, #1404, #1392,
#1412, #1344, #1345, #1347, #1334, #1274, #1438, #1120, #1359, #636, #1469,
#1149, #1441, #1503, #1510, #1507, #1505
- minor SFTP fixes: #1442, #1446
- finish .rst-ifying all docs
- shuffle configuration.rst to add Frontend section
- add man page #1420
- IServer refactoring #1363
- Nodes now emit "None" for percentiles with higher implied precision
than the number of observations can support. Older stats gatherers
will throw an exception if they gather stats from a new storage
server and it sends a "None" for a percentile. (`#1392`_)
Compatibility and Dependencies
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
- An incompatibility of zope.interface version 3.6.4 with Nevow has
been resolved. Tahoe-LAFS now requires one of the exact versions
v3.3.1, v3.5.3, or v3.6.1 of zope.interface. (`#1435`_)
- The Twisted dependency has been raised to version 10.1. This ensures
that we no longer require pywin32 on Windows, and that it is never
necessary to patch Twisted in order to use the FTP frontend.
