Hello Tahoe-LAFS users and hackers! I'm the release manager for the Tahoe 1.9.2 and 1.10 releases. Version 1.9.2 will be a bugfix release focussed mainly on fixing regressions in mutable file support. The mutable publish and retrieve code was changed extensively in 1.9.0 to support MDMF, and this unfortunately introduced a few bugs. Several of these have already been fixed, but the mutable code needs further testing and review to make sure it is as reliable as possible. There is also an important regression in immutable upload to be fixed: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1212#comment:41. 1.9.2 will be released from the darcs branch that you can obtain using: darcs get --lazy https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/1.9.2 tahoe-1.9.2 or browse at https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/1.9.2. I hope we can release 1.9.2 by the end of May, although that will depend on how soon we fix the remaining open tickets: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/query?status=!closed&milestone=1.9.2 Version 1.10 will include Brian's long-awaited introducer improvements, using Ed25519-signed announcements, that will be the basis for future interesting features like multiple introducers and accounting. It will also include a "move" operation for the web interface and any other additions that are ready in time for the release, but we won't wait very long to release it after 1.9.2. It will be released from git trunk, and we'll probably switch off the darcs-git bridge shortly afterwards. The feature set and release schedule of version 1.11 is less certain, but it could include: - improvements to share placement to meet the servers-of-happiness criterion in more cases; - extending servers-of-happiness to mutable files; - some form of accounting; - a read-only mode for Tahoe gateways; - support for AES+XSalsa encryption (which could in principle be more secure against timing attacks than AES alone); - a 'tahoe mount' command that simplifies mounting a Tahoe filesystem via sshfs; - merging the S3 backend support (and possibly other cloud service support) developed by Least Authority Enterprises; - extending the drop-upload feature to Windows; - merging the patches for Tor and I2P into the main release. -- David-Sarah Hopwood b% _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@tahoe-lafs.org https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
