We fixed the last major MDMF blocker tonight (#1561), so we're finally clear to tag beta1. This means the web-API and CLI arguments are stable, and we're comfortable with supporting them for a while.
The changes since alpha2 are pretty minor: * CLI: use "tahoe put --format=MDMF" to create an MDMF file, instead of "tahoe put --mutable --mutable-type=MDMF" * web: WUI now has a three-item radiobox (CHK, SDMF, MDMF) instead of the tricky one-togglebutton+two-item-radiobox combination * web-API t=JSON output now emits upper-case "format: MDMF" instead of lower-case "mutable-type: mdmf" * MDMF filecaps no longer include the extra two "extension fields" (containing 'k' and segsize), and tolerate (ignore) arbitrary extension fields from the future So 1.9.0b1 is available for download: http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/tarballs/allmydata-tahoe-1.9.0b1.tar.gz (also .zip, or .tar.bz2, or the -SUMO variants) You can also fetch it via any of our fine version control systems: darcs get --lazy --tag=allmydata-tahoe-1.9.0b1 \ http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk tahoe-lafs-1.9.0b1 or git clone -b allmydata-tahoe-1.9.0b1 git://github.com/warner/tahoe-lafs.git or, if you already have a git checkout: git pull git checkout allmydata-tahoe-1.9.0b1 Remaining work for 1.9: * docs * packaging tests * test against upcoming Foolscap release, also current Twisted trunk The list of remaining tickets[1] shrinks daily. Current plan is to release 1.9 around the end of the month. Please test! have a beta-riffic day, -Brian [1]: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&group=status&milestone=1.9.0 _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@tahoe-lafs.org http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
