this includes a squash merge of dca1de6856 which
was previously seen in pull request #128, as well as daira's suggested changes
from pull request #204.
Apparently the in-line link syntax with "<>" in them causes these warnings. I
don't know why. I changed them all to a slightly more verbose syntax.
Thanks to Mike Kazantzsev's review comment
(https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/67#commitcomment-4561370), I
moved the links to the end of each section.
Add ".. -*- coding: utf-8-with-signature -*-" to the first line of each .rst
file. This tells emacs to treat the file contents as utf-8, and also to prepend
a so-called utf-8 "bom" marker at the beginning of the file. This patch also
prepends those markers to each of those files.
Previously, Introducers always used a swissnum of "introducer", so
anyone who could learn the (public) tubid of the introducer would be
able to connect to and use it. This changes new Introducers to use the
same randomly-generated swissnum as clients and storage servers do, so
that you absolutely must learn the introducer.furl from someone who
knows it already before you can connect.
This change also moves the location of the file that stores
introducer.furl from BASEDIR/introducer.furl to
BASEDIR/private/introducer.furl, since that's where we keep the private
things. The first time an introducer is started with the new code, it
will move any existing BASEDIR/introducer.furl into the new place.
Note that this will not change the FURL of existing introducers: it will
only affect newly created ones. When you change an introducer's FURL,
you must also update all of the nodes (clients and storage servers)
which connect to it, so upgrading it to an unguessable one isn't
something we should do automatically.
Check for the existence of any of them and if any are found raise exception which will abort the startup of the node.
This is a backwards-incompatible change for anyone who is still using old-style configuration files.
