 ** Bugfixes and Improvements
 
- - Fix bug that caused 'tahoe cp' to fail for a grid-to-grid copy
+ - Allow the repairer to improve the health of a file by uploading
+   some shares, even if it cannot achieve the configured happiness
+   threshold. This fixes a regression introduced between v1.7.1 and
+   v1.8.0. (#1212)
+ - Use a newer version of a dependency if needed, even if an older
+   version is installed. This would previously cause a VersionConflict
+   error. (#1190)
+ - Fix a memory leak in the ResponseCache which is used during mutable
+   file/directory operations. (#1045)
+ - Fix a regression and add a performance improvement in the downloader.
+   This issue caused repair to fail in some special cases. (#1223)

[setup: run require_auto_deps() before attempting to import any deps in __init__.py

 Ignore-this: ffcaf2450628543e020e9919e455f691
 For one thing, this makes missing-dependency failures into DistributionNotFound errors instead of ImportErrors, which might be more useful to the user. For another thing, if someone is using distributions that were installed with --multi-version, then they might be not importable until after require_auto_deps() has been run. (The docs claim that this would be the case, but we don't have an example of this happening at this time.)

[fix #1223, crash+inefficiency during repair due to read overrun

 * repairer (really the uploader) reads beyond end of input file (Uploadable)
 * new-downloader does not tolerate overreads
 * uploader does lots of tiny reads (inefficient)
 
 This fixes the last two. The uploader still does a single overread at the end
 of the input file, but now that's ok so we can leave it in place. The
 uploader now expects the Uploadable to behave like a normal disk
 file (reading beyond EOF will return less data than was asked for), and now
 the new-downloadable behaves that way.

['tahoe start': use import+call rather than find+spawn
"Brian Warner <warner@lothar.com>"**20101027061342
 
 This removes the need to use a locally-built (dependency) bin/twistd, and
 removes a big chunk of behavior differences between unix and windows. It
 also happens to resolve the "client node probably started" uncertainty.
 Might help with #1190, #602, and #71.

However, I didn't write down what the problems were in enough detail on the ticket that I can tell today whether those problems are still issues, so here goes the third attempt. (I did write down on the ticket that it would not create site.py or .pth files in the target directory with --multi-version mode, but I didn't explain why *that* was a problem.)
