Please `download the tarball`_ for testing. At last check, this release `closed over 44 tickets`_. This makes it the biggest "micro" release of Tahoe-LAFS ever. .. |zooko| image:: zooko.png :height: 35 :alt: Zooko :target: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/AboutUs .. _`announced the release of Tahoe-LAFS 1.9.2 alpha`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-June/007480.html .. _`download the tarball`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/snapshots/allmydata-tahoe-1.9.2a1.tar.gz .. _`closed over 44 tickets`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-June/007455.html Foolscap-0.6.4 Released - ----------------------- Brian |brian| `released Foolscap-0.6.4`_. The release includes the following changes: * The unreliable 'extras_require' property in setup.py, which allowed other python programs to declare a dependency on foolscap's "secure_connections" feature, was removed. See README.packagers for alternate instructions. (`#174`_) * 'flogtool' log-dumping commands (dump, tail, web-viewer) now accept a consistent --timestamps= argument to control how event times are displayed (UTC, local, seconds-since-epoch, etc). (`#192`_, `#193`_) * Certain invalid "location" strings (accepted by Tub.setLocation and put into FURLs) are rejected earlier, and with better error messages. The error message produced when 'flogtool dump' is given a FURL-file (instead of an event log file) has been improved. * The Incident Gatherer will tolerate incident-file errors better, fetching remaining incidents instead of halting. (`#190`_) * The git-over-foolscap tools were cleaned up, and the documentation was brought into line with the implementation. (`#197`_) * Other minor bugs were fixed: `#179`_, `#191`_, `#194`_, `#195`_, `#196`_ .. |brian| image:: warner.png :height: 35 :alt: Brian Warner :target: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/AboutUs .. _`released Foolscap-0.6.4`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-June/007474.html .. _`#174`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/174 .. _`#192`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/192 .. _`#193`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/193 .. _`#190`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/190 .. _`#197`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/197 .. _`#179`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/179 .. _`#191`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/191 .. _`#194`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/194 .. _`#195`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/195 .. _`#196`: http://foolscap.lothar.com/trac/ticket/196 Glowing Quotes ============== “Tahoe-LAFS is an amazing piece of work!” — Pål Ruud Tahoe-LAFS on Twitter ===================== "Okay, okay, Tahoe-LAFS *is* actually a filesystem.

Rentanode.nl allows users to rent private Tahoe-LAFS storage grids on geographically spread servers. "Each customer gets their 'own' grid so they will have full control over access control, n-of-k encoding, data retention (garbage collection) and even introducer-rekeying. An introducer node is included for free to help those behind NAT-routers. Or bring your own." Customers of Least Authority Enterprise (LAE) |LAE| can use Rentanode.nl services in conjunction by setting LAE's introducer as described `here`_. .. _`announced RenatNode.nl`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-June/007467.html .. |LAE| image:: LAE.png :height: 35 :alt: Least Authority Enterprises :target: http://leastauthority.com .. _`here`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-June/007469.html Article on Tahoe-LAFS - --------------------- Saint Germain included Tahoe-LAFS in their `article on free backup software with deduplication`.
