+Release 1.10.0 (2013-05-01)
+'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
New Features
------------
- The Welcome page has been redesigned. This is a preview of the design style
that is likely to be used in other parts of the WUI in future Tahoe-LAFS
versions. (`#1713`_, `#1457`_, `#1735`_)
-- A new, more extensible Introducer protocol has been added, to act as the
- basis for future improvements such as accounting. Compatibility with older
- nodes is not affected. When server, introducer, and client are all
- upgraded, the welcome page will show node IDs that start with "v0-" instead
- of the old tubid. (`#466`_)

- The web-API has a new ``relink`` operation that supports directly moving
files between directories. (`#1579`_)
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
Notable Bugfixes
----------------
-- If an immutable file failed to download, e.g. due to a connection problem,
- subsequent attempts to download the same file could also fail. (`#1679`_)
-- The SFTP frontend now works with recent versions of Twisted, rather than
- giving errors or warnings about use of ``IFinishableConsumer``. (`#1926`_,
- `#1564`_, `#1525`_)
-- Failure handling in the SFTP frontend has been improved. (`#1525`_)
-- Checking a LIT file using ``tahoe check`` no longer results in an
- exception. (`#1758`_)
+- In earlier versions, if a connection problem caused a download failure for
+ an immutable file, subsequent attempts to download the same file could also
+ fail. This is now fixed. (`#1679`_)
- Filenames in WUI directory pages are now displayed correctly when they
contain characters that require HTML escaping. (`#1143`_)
- Non-ASCII node nicknames no longer cause WUI errors. (`#1298`_)
-- Error messages containing tracebacks may be slightly more readable.
- (`#1484`_)
-- ``tahoe cp --verbose`` counts the files being processed correctly.
+- Checking a LIT file using ``tahoe check`` no longer results in an

(`#1805`_, `#1783`_)
- Exceptions no longer trigger an unhelpful crash reporter on Ubuntu 12.04
("Precise") or later. (`#1746`_)
-- Improve error message when CLI tools cannot connect to a gateway. (`#974`_)
-- Other minor changes: `#1781`_, `#1812`_

-Performance Improvements
-------------------------
-
-- Allow web clients to cache immutable directory pages. (`#443`_)
-
-Documentation
--------------
-
-- docs/helper.rst has been brought up to date. (`#1915`_)
-- docs/convergence_secret.rst was added to document the adminstration of
- convergence secrets. (`#1761`_)
-
-Packaging Changes
------------------
-
-- The flogtool utility, used to read logs, can now be 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 in
- misc/operations_helpers/provisioning. Use the ``run.py`` script to access
- them.
