 User-Visible Changes in Tahoe-LAFS
 ==================================
 
-Release 1.9.0 (2011-??-??)
---------------------------
-
-WORK IN PROGRESS
-
-
-New Features
-''''''''''''
-- MDMF! #393
-- blacklist #1425
-- immutable-download timeline viz (#?)
-- drop-upload feature (experimental) #1429
-
-Configuration/Behavior Changes
-'''''''''''''''''''''
-- reject old-style (discrete) config files from <v1.3 #1385
-- measure space of storage/shares/, not storage/ #1384
-- 'tahoe cp xyz MUTABLE' will modify the existing mutable file instead of
-  creating a new one
-- WUI button says "unlink" instead of "del", change docs, allow 'tahoe
-  unlink' #1104
-
-Notable Bugfixes
-''''''''''''''''
-- 'tahoe put/cp' uploads didn't appear in history #1079
-- verifier: serialize block fetches, reduce RAM footprint #1395
-- make large immutable downloads faster (coalesce Share.loop() calls) #1268
-
-Packaging Changes
-'''''''''''''''''
-- remove debian packaging #1454
-- remove contrib/fuse #1409
-- The unmaintained FUSE plugins were removed from the source tree. See
-  docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst for how to use sshfs. (`#1409`_)
-- replace foolscap[secure_connections] dep with one on pyopenssl #1383
-- bump Twisted dependency to >=10.1
-- bump zope.interface dep to <=3.6.2 or >=3.6.6 #1435
-- extra-permission changes in license
-- no longer need to patch Twisted for FTP, when using Twisted >= 10.1
-
-Minor Changes
-'''''''''''''
-- minor: #1355, #1366, #1388, #1389, #1391, #1297, #1342, #1404, #1392,
-  #1412, #1344, #1345, #1347, #1334, #1274, #1438, #1120, #1359, #636, #1469,
-  #1149, #1441, #1503, #1510, #1507, #1505
-- minor SFTP fixes: #1442, #1446
-- finish .rst-ifying all docs
-- shuffle configuration.rst to add Frontend section
-- add man page #1420
-- IServer refactoring #1363
-- 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`_)
-
-
-Compatibility and Dependencies
-''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
-
-- 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`_)
