+- "tahoe cp" changes:
+
+There are many "cp"-like tools in the unix world (POSIX /bin/cp, the "scp"
+provided by SSH, rsync). They each behave slightly differently in unusual
+circumstances, generally dealing with copying whole directories at a time,
+into a target which may or may not exist already. The usual question is
+whether the user is referring to the source directory as a whole, or to its
+contents. For example, should "cp -r foodir bardir" create a new directory
+named "bardir/foodir"? Or should it behave more like "cp -r foodir/* bardir"?
+Some tools use the presence of a trailing slash to indicate which behavior
+you want. Others ignore trailing slashes.
+
+"tahoe cp" is no exception to having exceptional cases. This release fixes
+some bad behavior and attempts to establish a consistent rationale for its
+behavior.
+
+The new rule is:
+
+- If the thing being copied is a directory, and it has a name (e.g. it's not
+ a raw tahoe directorycap), then you are referring to the directory itself.
+- If the thing being copied is an unnamed directory (e.g. raw dircap or
+ alias), then you are referring to the contents.
+- Trailing slashes do not affect the behavior of the copy (although putting a
+ trailing slash on a file-like target is an error).
+- The "-r" (--recursive) flag does not affect the behavior of the copy
+ (although omitting -r when the source is a directory is an error).
+- If the target refers to something that does not yet exist:
+ - and if the source is a single file, then create a new file;
+ - otherwise, create a directory.
+
+There are two main cases where the behavior of tahoe-1.10.1 differs from that
+of the 1.10.0 release:
+
+- "cp DIRCAP/file.txt ./local/missing" , where "./local" is a directory but
+ "./local/missing" does not exist. The implication is that you want tahoe to
+ create a new file named "./local/missing" and fill it with the contents of
+ the tahoe-side DIRCAP/file.txt. In 1.10.0, a plain "cp" would do just this,
+ but "cp -r" would do "mkdir ./local/missing" and then create a file named
+ "./local/missing/file.txt". In 1.10.1, both "cp" and "cp -r" create a file
+ named "./local/missing".
+- "cp -r PARENTCAP/dir ./local/missing", where PARENTCAP/dir/ contains
+ "file.txt", and again "./local" is a directory but "./local/missing" does
+ not exist. In both 1.10.0 and 1.10.1, this first does "mkdir
+ ./local/missing". In 1.10.0, it would then copy the contents of the source
+ directory into the new directory, resulting in "./local/missing/file.txt".
+ In 1.10.1, following the new rule of "a named directory source refers to
+ the directory itself", the tool creates "./local/missing/dir/file.txt".
+
+
+Compatibility and Dependency Updates
+------------------------------------
+
+- Twisted >= 13.0.0
+- Nevow >= 0.11.1
+- foolscap >= 0.8.0
+- service-identity
+- characteristic >= 14.0.0
+- pyasn1 >= 0.1.4
+- pyasn1-modules >= 0.0.5
+
+On Windows, if pywin32 is not installed then the dependencies on Twisted
+and Nevow become:
+
+- Twisted >= 11.1.0, <= 12.1.0
+- Nevow >= 0.9.33, <= 0.10
+
+On all platforms, if pyOpenSSL >= 0.14 is installed, then it will be used,
+but if not then only pyOpenSSL >= 0.13, <= 0.13.1 will be built when directly
+invoking `setup.py build` or `setup.py install`.
+
+We strongly advise OS packagers to take the option of making a tahoe-lafs
+package depend on pyOpenSSL >= 0.14. In order for that to work, the following
+additional Python dependencies are needed:
+
+- cryptography
+- cffi >= 0.8
+- six >= 1.4.1
+- enum34
+- pycparser
+
+as well as libffi (for Debian/Ubuntu, the name of the needed OS package is
+`libffi6`).
+
+Tahoe-LAFS is now compatible with setuptools version 8 and pip version 6
+or later.

Release 1.10.0 (2013-05-01)
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
to generate a new FURL, delete the existing ``introducer.furl`` file and
restart it. After doing this, the ``[client]introducer.furl`` setting of
every client and server that should connect to that introducer must be
- updated. (`#1802`_)
+ updated. Note that other users of a shared machine may be able to read
+ ``introducer.furl`` from your ``tahoe.cfg`` file unless you configure the
+ file permissions to prevent them. (`#1802`_)
- Both ``introducer.furl`` and ``helper.furl`` are now censored from the
Welcome page, to prevent users of your gateway from learning enough to
create gateway nodes of their own. For existing guessable introducer
- Twisted >= 11.0.0 (`#1771`_)
- mock >= 0.8 (for unit tests)
- pycryptopp >= 0.6.0 (for Ed25519 signatures)
+- zope.interface >= 3.6.0 (except 3.6.3 or 3.6.4)

+ accessed as ``tahoe debug flogtool`` even when Foolscap is not installed
system-wide. (`#1693`_)
- The provisioning/reliability pages were removed from the main client's web
interface, and moved into a standalone web-based tool. Use the ``run.py``

- Web clients can now cache (ETag) immutable directory pages. (`#443`_)
- `<docs/convergence_secret.rst>`__ was added to document the adminstration
of convergence secrets. (`#1761`_)
