User-Visible Changes in Tahoe-LAFS
==================================
-Release 1.9.0 (2011-??-??)
+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 extensible Introducer protocol has been added, 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. See `<docs/nodekeys.rst>`__ for details. (`#466`_)
+- The web-API has a new ``relink`` operation that supports directly moving
+ files between directories. (`#1579`_)
+
+Security Improvements
+---------------------
+
+- The ``introducer.furl`` for new Introducers is now unguessable. In previous
+ releases, this FURL used a predictable swissnum, allowing a network
+ eavesdropper who observes any node connecting to the Introducer to access
+ the Introducer themselves, and thus use servers or offer storage service to
+ clients (i.e. "join the grid"). In the new code, the only way to join a
+ grid is to be told the ``introducer.furl`` by someone who already knew it.
+ Note that pre-existing introducers are not changed. To force an introducer
+ 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. 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
+ FURLs, the ``introducer`` swissnum is still displayed to show that a
+ guessable FURL is in use. (`#860`_)
+
+Command-line Syntax Changes
+---------------------------
+
+- Global options to ``tahoe``, such as ``-d``/``--node-directory``, must now
+ come before rather than after the command name (for example,
+ ``tahoe -d BASEDIR cp -r foo: bar:`` ). (`#166`_)
+
+Notable Bugfixes
+----------------
+
+- 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`_)
+- Checking a LIT file using ``tahoe check`` no longer results in an
+ exception. (`#1758`_)
+- The SFTP frontend now works with recent versions of Twisted, rather than
+ giving errors or warnings about use of ``IFinishableConsumer``. (`#1926`_,
+ `#1564`_, `#1525`_)
+- ``tahoe cp --verbose`` now counts the files being processed correctly.
+ (`#1805`_, `#1783`_)
+- Exceptions no longer trigger an unhelpful crash reporter on Ubuntu 12.04
+ ("Precise") or later. (`#1746`_)
+- The error message displayed when a CLI tool cannot connect to a gateway has
+ been improved. (`#974`_)
+- Other minor fixes: `#1781`_, `#1812`_, `#1915`_, `#1484`_, `#1525`_
+
+Compatibility and Dependencies
+------------------------------
+
+- Python >= 2.6, except Python 3 (`#1658`_)
+- 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)
+
+Other Changes
+-------------
+
+- The flogtool utility, used to read detailed event 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. Use the ``run.py``
+ script in misc/operations_helpers/provisioning to access them.
+- Web clients can now cache (ETag) immutable directory pages. (`#443`_)
+- `<docs/convergence_secret.rst>`__ was added to document the adminstration
+ of convergence secrets. (`#1761`_)
+
+Precautions when Upgrading
--------------------------
+- When upgrading a grid from a recent version of trunk, follow the
+ precautions from this `message to the tahoe-dev mailing list`_, to ensure
+ that announcements to the Introducer are recognized after the upgrade.
+ This is not necessary when upgrading from a previous release.

+
+Release 1.9.2 (2012-07-03)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Notable Bugfixes
+----------------
+
+- Several regressions in support for reading (`#1636`_), writing/modifying
+ (`#1670`_, `#1749`_), verifying (`#1628`_) and repairing (`#1655`_, `#1669`_,
+ `#1676`_, `#1689`_) mutable files have been fixed.
+- FTP can now list directories containing mutable files, although it
+ still does not support reading or writing mutable files. (`#680`_)
+- The FTP frontend would previously show Jan 1 1970 for all timestamps;
+ now it shows the correct modification time of the directory entry.
+ (`#1688`_)
+- If a node is configured to report incidents to a log gatherer, but the
+ gatherer is offline when some incidents occur, it would previously not
+ "catch up" with those incidents as intended. (`#1725`_)
+- OpenBSD 5 is now supported. (`#1584`_)
+- The ``count-good-share-hosts`` field of file check results is now
+ computed correctly. (`#1115`_)
+
+Configuration/Behavior Changes
+------------------------------
+
+- The capability of the upload directory for the drop-upload frontend
+ is now specified in the file ``private/drop_upload_dircap`` under
+ the gateway's node directory, rather than in its ``tahoe.cfg``.
+ (`#1593`_)
+
+Packaging Changes
+-----------------
+
+- Tahoe-LAFS can be built correctly from a git repository as well as
+ from darcs.
+
+Compatibility and Dependencies
+------------------------------
+
+- foolscap >= 0.6.3 is required, in order to make Tahoe-LAFS compatible
+ with Twisted >= 11.1.0. (`#1788`_)
+- Versions 2.0.1 and 2.4 of PyCrypto are excluded. (`#1631`_, `#1574`_)

+
+Release 1.9.1 (2012-01-12)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Security-related Bugfix
+-----------------------
+
+- Fix flaw that would allow servers to cause undetected corruption when
+ retrieving the contents of mutable files (both SDMF and MDMF). (`#1654`_)
+
+.. _`#1654`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1654
+
+
+Release 1.9.0 (2011-10-30)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+- The most significant new feature in this release is MDMF: "Medium-size
+ Distributed Mutable Files". Unlike standard SDMF files, these provide
+ efficient partial-access (reading and modifying small portions of the file
+ instead of the whole thing). MDMF is opt-in (it is not yet the default
+ format for mutable files), both to ensure compatibility with previous
+ versions, and because the algorithm does not yet meet memory-usage goals.
+ Enable it with ``--format=MDMF`` in the CLI (``tahoe put`` and ``tahoe
+ mkdir``), or the "format" radioboxes in the web interface. See
+ `<docs/specifications/mutable.rst>`__ for more details (`#393`_, `#1507`_)
+- A "blacklist" feature allows blocking access to specific files through
+ a particular gateway. See the "Access Blacklist" section of
+ `<docs/configuration.rst>`__ for more details. (`#1425`_)
+- A "drop-upload" feature has been added, which allows you to upload
+ files to a Tahoe-LAFS directory just by writing them to a local
+ directory. This feature is experimental and should not be relied on
+ to store the only copy of valuable data. It is currently available
+ only on Linux. See `<docs/frontends/drop-upload.rst>`__ for documentation.
+ (`#1429`_)
+- The timeline of immutable downloads can be viewed using a zoomable and
+ pannable JavaScript-based visualization. This is accessed using the
+ 'timeline' link on the File Download Status page for the download, which
+ can be reached from the Recent Uploads and Downloads page.
+
+Configuration/Behavior Changes
+------------------------------
+
+- Prior to Tahoe-LAFS v1.3, the configuration of some node options could
+ be specified using individual config files rather than via ``tahoe.cfg``.
+ These files now cause an error if present. (`#1385`_)
+- Storage servers now calculate their remaining space based on the filesystem
+ containing the ``storage/shares/`` directory. Previously they looked at the
+ filesystem containing the ``storage/`` directory. This allows
+ ``storage/shares/``, rather than ``storage/``, to be a mount point or a
+ symlink pointing to another filesystem. (`#1384`_)
+- ``tahoe cp xyz MUTABLE`` will modify the existing mutable file instead of
+ creating a new one. (`#1304`_)
+- The button for unlinking a file from its directory on a WUI directory
+ listing is now labelled "unlink" rather than "del". (`#1104`_)
+
+Notable Bugfixes
+----------------
+
+- The security bugfix for the vulnerability allowing deletion of shares,
+ detailed in the news for v1.8.3 below, is also included in this
+ release. (`#1528`_)
+- Some cases of immutable upload, for example using the ``tahoe put`` and
+ ``tahoe cp`` commands or SFTP, did not appear in the history of Recent
+ Uploads and Downloads. (`#1079`_)
+- The memory footprint of the verifier has been reduced by serializing
+ block fetches. (`#1395`_)
+- Large immutable downloads are now a little faster than in v1.8.3 (about
+ 5% on a fast network). (`#1268`_)
+
+Packaging Changes
+-----------------
+
+- The files related to Debian packaging have been removed from the Tahoe
+ source tree, since they are now maintained as part of the official
+ Debian packages. (`#1454`_)
- The unmaintained FUSE plugins were removed from the source tree. See
- docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst for how to use sshfs. (`#1409`_)
-- Nodes now emit "None" for percentiles with higher implied precision
- than the number of observations can support. Older stats gatherers
- will throw an exception if they gather stats from a new storage
- server and it sends a "None" for a percentile. (`#1392`_)
+ ``docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst`` for how to mount a Tahoe filesystem on
+ Unix via sshfs. (`#1409`_)
+- The Tahoe licenses now give explicit permission to combine Tahoe-LAFS
+ with code distributed under the following additional open-source licenses
+ (any version of each):
+
+ * Academic Free License
+ * Apple Public Source License
+ * BitTorrent Open Source License
+ * Lucent Public License
+ * Jabber Open Source License
+ * Common Development and Distribution License
+ * Microsoft Public License
+ * Microsoft Reciprocal License
+ * Sun Industry Standards Source License
+ * Open Software License
Compatibility and Dependencies
-''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+------------------------------
+
+- To resolve an incompatibility between Nevow and zope.interface (versions
+ 3.6.3 and 3.6.4), Tahoe-LAFS now requires an earlier or later
+ version of zope.interface. (`#1435`_)
+- The Twisted dependency has been raised to version 10.1 to ensure we no
+ longer require pywin32 on Windows, the new drop-upload feature has the
+ required support from Twisted on Linux, and that it is never necessary to
+ patch Twisted in order to use the FTP frontend. (`#1274`_, `#1429`_,
+ `#1438`_)
+- An explicit dependency on pyOpenSSL has been added, replacing the indirect
+ dependency via the "secure_connections" option of foolscap. (`#1383`_)
+
+Minor Changes
+-------------
+
+- A ``man`` page has been added (`#1420`_). All other docs are in ReST
+ format.
+- The ``tahoe_files`` munin plugin reported an incorrect count of the number
+ of share files. (`#1391`_)
+- Minor documentation updates: #627, #1104, #1225, #1297, #1342, #1404
+- Other minor changes: #636, #1355, #1363, #1366, #1388, #1392, #1412, #1344,

+Release 1.8.3 (2011-09-13)
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+
+Security-related Bugfix
+-----------------------
-- An incompatibility of zope.interface version 3.6.4 with Nevow has
- been resolved. Tahoe-LAFS now requires one of the exact versions
- v3.3.1, v3.5.3, or v3.6.1 of zope.interface. (`#1435`_)
-- The Twisted dependency has been raised to version 10.1. This ensures
- that we no longer require pywin32 on Windows, and that it is never
- necessary to patch Twisted in order to use the FTP frontend.
- (`#1274`_, `#1438`_)
+- Fix flaw that would allow a person who knows a storage index of a file to
+ delete shares of that file. (`#1528`_)
+- Remove corner cases in mutable file bounds management which could expose
+ extra lease info or old share data (from prior versions of the mutable
+ file) if someone with write authority to that mutable file exercised these
+ corner cases in a way that no actual Tahoe-LAFS client does. (Probably not
+ exploitable.) (`#1528`_)

Release 1.8.1 (2010-10-28)
---------------------------
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Bugfixes and Improvements
-'''''''''''''''''''''''''
+-------------------------
- Allow the repairer to improve the health of a file by uploading some
shares, even if it cannot achieve the configured happiness
script, rather than an obscure tool named 'twistd'). (`#174`_)
Removed Features
-''''''''''''''''
+----------------
- The tahoe start/stop/restart and node creation commands no longer
accept the -m or --multiple option, for consistency between
platforms. (`#1262`_)
Packaging
-'''''''''
+---------
- We now host binary packages so that users on certain operating
systems can install without having a compiler.
- <http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs/README.html>
+ <https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs/README.html>
- Use a newer version of a dependency if needed, even if an older
version is installed. This would previously cause a VersionConflict
error. (`#1190`_)
version number. (`#1233`_)
Documentation
-'''''''''''''
+-------------
- All current documentation in .txt format has been converted to .rst
format. (`#1225`_)

---------------------------
+''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Garbage Collection
-''''''''''''''''''
+------------------
- The big feature for this release is the implementation of garbage
collection, allowing Tahoe storage servers to delete shares for old
crawl. 1.1.0 servers did not have the add-lease operation at all.
Security/Usability Problems Fixed
-'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
+---------------------------------
- A super-linear algorithm in the Merkle Tree code was fixed, which
previously caused e.g. download of a 10GB file to take several hours
hashing the two strings to be compared with a random secret.
webapi changes
-''''''''''''''
+--------------
- In most cases, HTML tracebacks will only be sent if an "Accept:
text/html" header was provided with the HTTP request. This will

+-----------
- "tahoe check" and "tahoe deep-check" now accept an "--add-lease"
argument, to update a lease on all shares. This is the "mark" side

+-----------
- The codebase no longer rauses RuntimeError as a kind of
assert(). Specific exception classes were created for each previous
instance of RuntimeError.

speeding them up considerably.
- Deep-traversal operations (manifest and deep-check) now walk
slightly, to accomodate more SFTP clients, although there are still
issues (`#645`_).

combination of 'tahoe mkdir' and 'tahoe add-alias'. This also allows
characters in Tahoe v1.3 (although depending on your platform it
might, especially if your platform can be configured to pass such
characters on the command-line in utf-8 encoding). See
