-- "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.
+UI / Configuration Changes
+--------------------------
+
+The "tahoe cp" CLI command's "--recursive" option is now more predictable,
+but behaves slightly differently than before. See below for details. Tickets
+#712, #2329.
+
+The SFTP server can now use public-key authentication (instead of only
+password-based auth). Public keys are configured through an "account file",
+just like passwords. See docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP for examples of the
+format. #1411
+
+The Tahoe node can now be configured to disable automatic IP-address
+detection. Using "AUTO" in tahoe.cfg [node]tub.location= (which is now the
+default) triggers autodetection. Omit "AUTO" to disable autodetection. "AUTO"
+can be combined with static addresses to e.g. use both a stable
+UPnP-configured tunneled address with a DHCP-assigned dynamic (local subnet
+only) address. See configuration.rst for details. #754
+
+The web-based user interface ("WUI") Directory and Welcome pages have been
+redesigned, with improved CSS for narrow windows and more-accessible icons
+(using distinctive shapes instead of just colors). #1931 #1961 #1966 #1972
+#1901

+"tahoe cp" changes
+------------------
+
+The many "cp"-like tools in the unix world (POSIX /bin/cp, the "scp" provided
+by SSH, rsync) all behave slightly differently in unusual circumstances,
+especially when copying whole directories into a target which may or may not
+already exist. The most common difference 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:
+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.
- 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:
+of the previous 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
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
------------------------------------
+Windows now requires python2.7 . Unix/OS-X platforms can still use either 2.6
+or 2.7, however this is probably the last release that will support 2.6 (it
+is no longer receiving security updates, and most OS distributions have
+switched to 2.7). Tahoe now has the following dependencies:
+
- Twisted >= 13.0.0
- Nevow >= 0.11.1
- foolscap >= 0.8.0
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.
+Tahoe-LAFS is now compatible with Setuptools version 8 and Pip version 6 or
+later, which should fix execution on Ubuntu 15.04 (it now tolerates PEP440
+semantics in dependency specifications). #2354 #2242
+
+Tahoe-LAFS now depends upon foolscap-0.8.0, which creates better private keys
+and certificates than previous versions. To benefit from the improvements
+(2048-bit RSA keys and SHA256-based certificates), you must re-generate your
+Tahoe nodes (which changes their TubIDs and FURLs). #2400
+
+Packaging
+---------
+
+A preliminary OS-X package, named "tahoe-lafs-VERSION-osx.pkg", is now being
+generated. It is a standard double-clickable installer, which creates
+/Applications/tahoe.app that embeds a complete runtime tree. However
+launching the .app only brings up docs on how to run tahoe from the command
+line. A future release will turn this into a fully-fledged application
+launcher. #182 #2393 #2323
+
+Preliminary Docker support was added. Tahoe container images may be available
+on DockerHub. PR#165 #2419 #2421
+
+Old/obsolete debian packaging tools have been removed. #2282
+
+Minor Changes
