From b3513f3ac67533fc5bf0dbd12e44c1c976e8f4e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zooko O'Whielacronx Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2009 10:35:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] docs: relnotes-short.txt linkedin.com imposed a strict limit on the number of characters I could post. This forced me to prune and prune and edit and edit until relnotes.txt was a quarter of its former size. Here's the short version. --- relnotes-short.txt | 16 ++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+) create mode 100644 relnotes-short.txt diff --git a/relnotes-short.txt b/relnotes-short.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000..2ff4c75f --- /dev/null +++ b/relnotes-short.txt @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.3.0 of Tahoe-LAFS. + +Tahoe-LAFS is a secure, decentralized, fault-tolerant filesystem. All of the source code is available under a choice of two Free Software, Open Source licences. + +This filesystem is encrypted and distributed over multiple peers in such a way it continues to function even when some of the peers are unavailable, malfunctioning, or malicious. Users can share files with other users using a simple and flexible access control scheme. + +http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/about.html + +This is the successor to v1.2, which was released July 21, 2008. This is a major new release, adding a repairer, an efficient backup command, support for large files, an (S)FTP server, and much more. + +In addition to the many new features of Tahoe itself, a crop of related projects have sprung up, including frontends for Windows and Macintosh, two front-ends written in JavaScript, a Tahoe plugin for duplicity, a Tahoe plugin for TiddlyWiki, a project to create a new backup tool, CIFS/SMB integration, an iPhone app, and three incomplete Tahoe frontends for FUSE. See Related Projects on the wiki. + +Tahoe is the basis of the consumer backup product from Allmydata, Inc. -- http://allmydata.com . + +We believe that erasure coding, strong encryption, Free/Open Source Software and careful engineering make Tahoe safer than common alternatives, such as RAID, removable drive, tape, or "on-line storage" or "Cloud storage" systems. + -- 2.45.2
