New PyPI Distribution Name
--------------------------
Tahoe-LAFS is now known on PyPI as `tahoe-lafs`. It was formerly known as
`allmydata-tahoe`. This affects `pip install` commands. (#2011)
Because of this change, if you use a git checkout, you may need to run `make
distclean` (to delete the machine-generated `src/allmydata/_appname.py`
file). You may also need to remove `allmydata-tahoe` from any virtualenvs
you've created, before installing `tahoe-lafs` into them.
Note that the importable *package* name is still `allmydata`. This is
scheduled to be changed in a future release. (#1950)
Compatibility and Dependency Updates
