+The previous stable release of Tahoe-LAFS was v1.19.0, released on
+January 18, 2024. Major new features and changes in this release:
 
-A new "Grid Manager" feature allows clients to specify any number of
-parties whom they will use to limit which storage-server that client
-talks to. See docs/managed-grid.rst for more.
+Security-relevant updates to CBOR2 handling, fixing bugs with large
+strings and removing use of the C extension (preferring pure-Python).
 
-The new HTTP-based "Great Black Swamp" protocol is now enabled
-(replacing Foolscap). This allows integrators to start with their
-favourite HTTP library (instead of implementing Foolscap first). Both
-storage-servers and clients support this new protocol.
+Now that Python2 support is dropped, Alexandre Detiste has contributed
+several clean-ups by removing unnecessary compatibiltiy code.
 
-`tahoe run` will now exit if its stdin is closed (but accepts --allow-stdin-close now).
-
-Mutables may be created with a pre-determined signature key; care must
-be taken!
-
-This release drops Python 3.7 support and adds Python 3.11 and 3.12
-support. Several performance improvements have been made. Introducer
-correctly listens on Tor or I2P. Debian 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 are no
-longer tested.

-Besides all this there have been dozens of other bug-fixes and
-improvements.
