ANNOUNCING v1.6 of Tahoe-LAFS
|
|
|
|
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of
|
|
version 1.6 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 v1.6.0 is the successor to v1.5.0, which was
|
|
released August 1, 2009 [1]. This 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 frontends for Windows, Macintosh,
|
|
JavaScript, and iPhone, and plugins for Hadoop, bzr, duplicity,
|
|
TiddlyWiki, and 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 erasure coding, strong encryption, Free/Open
|
|
Source Software and careful engineering make Tahoe-LAFS safer
|
|
than other storage technologies.
