User-Visible Changes in Tahoe-LAFS
==================================
-Release 1.10.1 (XXXX-XX-XX)
+Release ??? (???)
+
+Compatibility and Dependency Updates
+------------------------------------
+
+Tahoe now requires Python 2.7 on all platforms. (#2445)
+
+Tahoe now requires Foolscap 0.10.1, which fixes incompatibilities with recent
+Twisted releases. (#2510, #2722, #2567)
+
+Tests should work with both Nevow 0.11 and 0.12 (#2663)
+
+Configuration Changes
+---------------------
+
+Leif's "preferred storage servers" was landed in revision 96eaca6. This adds
+"peers.preferred" to tahoe.cfg
+
+Aliases can (probably) be unicode.
+
+The introducer's "set_encoding_parameters" feature was removed.
+
+Other Fixes

+Release 1.10.2 (2015-07-30)
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Packaging Changes
+-----------------
+
+This release no longer requires the ``mock`` library (which was previously
+used in the unit test suite). Shortly after the Tahoe-LAFS 1.10.1 release, a
+new version of ``mock`` was released (1.1.0) that proved to be incompatible
+with Tahoe's fork of setuptools, preventing Tahoe-1.10.1 from building at
+all. `#2465`_
+
+The ``tahoe --version`` output is now less likely to include scary diagnostic
+warnings that look deceptively like stack traces. `#2436`_
+
+The pyasn1 requirement was increased to >= 0.1.8.

+.. _`#2436`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2436
+
+Other Fixes
+-----------
+
+A WebAPI ``GET`` would sometimes hang when using the HTTP Range header to
+read just part of the file. `#2459`_
+
+Using ``tahoe cp`` to copy two different files of the same name into the same
+target directory now raises an error, rather than silently overwriting one of
+them. `#2447`_
+
+All tickets closed in this release: 2328 2436 2446 2447 2459 2460 2461 2462

-- "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"?
+User Interface / 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 and 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 that
+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
+"``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.
+ a raw Tahoe-LAFS 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).
+- 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
------------------------------------
+Windows now requires Python 2.7. Unix/OS-X platforms can still use either
+Python 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-LAFS 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 a notice on how to run tahoe from the
+command line. A future release may 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 and obsolete Debian packaging tools have been removed. `#2282`_
