Automatic conversion of the NetBSD pkgsrc CVS module, use with care
bf4adc03e1
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`_
Other Changes
-------------
- 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`_)
