ANNOUNCING v1.6.1 of Tahoe-LAFS
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of
|
|
version 1.6.1 of Tahoe-LAFS, an extremely reliable distributed
|
|
data store.
|
|
|
|
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 v1.6.1 is the successor to v1.6.0, which was
|
|
released February 2, 2010. This is a bugfix release which
|
|
fixes a few small regressions in v1.6.0.
|
|
|
|
The v1.6 release includes major performance improvements,
|
|
usability improvements, and one major new feature:
|
|
deep-immutable directories (cryptographically unalterable
|
|
permanent snapshots). See the release notes for details.
|
|

|
|
|
|
In addition to the core storage system itself, volunteers have
|
|
developed related projects to integrate it with other
|
|
tools. These include plugins for Hadoop, bzr, duplicity,
|
|
TiddlyWiki, and much more. As of this release, contributors
|
|
have added an Android frontend and a working read-only FUSE
|
|
frontend. See the Related Projects page on the wiki:

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