+Tahoe-LAFS is the first distributed storage system to offer
+"provider-independent security" — meaning that not even the
+operators of your storage servers can read or alter your data
+without your consent. Here is the one-page explanation of its
+unique security and fault-tolerance properties:

+
+The previous stable release of Tahoe-LAFS was v1.19.0, released on
+January 18, 2024. Major new features and changes in this release:
+
+Declarative build system based on "hatch".
+The ability to creat mutable directories with a given private-key.
+
+Pulled in fixes from CBOR, stopped using the C version of CBOR and
+fixed incompatibilities with attrs and cryptography libraries.
+
+Besides all this there have been dozens of other bug-fixes and
+improvements.
+
+Enjoy!
