User-Visible Changes in Tahoe-LAFS
==================================
-Release 1.9.0 (2011-??-??)
+Release 1.9.2 (2012-07-03)
+----------------------------
+
+Notable Bugfixes
+''''''''''''''''
+
+- Several regressions in support for reading (`#1636`_), writing/modifying
+ (`#1670`_, `#1749`_), verifying (`#1628`_) and repairing (`#1655`_, `#1669`_,
+ `#1676`_, `#1689`_) mutable files have been fixed.
+- FTP can now list directories containing mutable files, although it
+ still does not support reading or writing mutable files. (`#680`_)
+- The FTP frontend would previously show Jan 1 1970 for all timestamps;
+ now it shows the correct modification time of the directory entry.
+ (`#1688`_)
+- If a node is configured to report incidents to a log gatherer, but the
+ gatherer is offline when some incidents occur, it would previously not
+ "catch up" with those incidents as intended. (`#1725`_)
+- OpenBSD 5 is now supported. (`#1584`_)
+- The ``count-good-share-hosts`` field of file check results is now
+ computed correctly. (`#1115`_)
+
+Configuration/Behavior Changes
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+- The capability of the upload directory for the drop-upload frontend
+ is now specified in the file ``private/drop_upload_dircap`` under
+ the gateway's node directory, rather than in its ``tahoe.cfg``.
+ (`#1593`_)
+
+Packaging Changes
+'''''''''''''''''
+
+- Tahoe-LAFS can be built correctly from a git repository as well as
+ from darcs.
+
+Compatibility and Dependencies
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+- foolscap >= 0.6.3 is required, in order to make Tahoe-LAFS compatible
+ with Twisted >= 11.1.0. (`#1788`_)
+- Versions 2.0.1 and 2.4 of PyCrypto are excluded. (`#1631`_, `#1574`_)

- A "drop-upload" feature has been added, which allows you to upload
files to a Tahoe-LAFS directory just by writing them to a local
directory. This feature is experimental and should not be relied on
to store the only copy of valuable data. It is currently available
- only on Linux. See `<docs/frontends/drop-upload.rst>`_ for documentation.
