ANNOUNCING v1.6 of Tahoe-LAFS
|
|
|
|
The Tahoe-LAFS team is pleased to announce the immediate
|
|
availability of version 1.6 of Tahoe-LAFS, an extremely
|
|
reliable distributed key-value store and cloud filesystem.
|
|
|
|
Tahoe-LAFS is the first cloud storage system which offers
|
|
"provider-independent security" -- meaning that not even your
|
|
cloud service provider can read or alter your data without your
|
|
consent. Here is the one-page explanation of its unique
|
|
security and fault-tolerance properties:

|
|
|
|
Tahoe-LAFS v1.6.0 is the successor to v1.5.0, which was
|
|
released August 1, 2009. In this major new release, we've added
|
|
deep-immutable directories (cryptographically unalterable
|
|
permanent snapshots), greatly increased performance for some
|
|
common operations, and improved the help text, documentation,
|
|
command-line options, and web user interface. The FUSE plugin
|
|
has been fixed. We also fixed a few bugs. See the release notes
|
|
for details:

|
|
|
|
In addition to the core storage system itself, a crop of
|
|
related projects have sprung up to extend it and to integrate
|
|
it into operating systems and applications. These include
|
|
frontends for Windows, Macintosh, JavaScript, and iPhone, and
|
|
plugins for Hadoop, bzr, duplicity, TiddlyWiki, and more. See
|
|
the Related Projects page:

|
|
|
|
We believe that erasure coding, strong encryption, Free/Open
|
|
Source Software and careful engineering make Tahoe-LAFS safer
|
|
than other storage technologies.
