Log Message:
Update to 1.8.0.

* Release 1.8.0 (2010-09-23)

** New Features

 - A completely new downloader which improves performance and
   robustness of immutable-file downloads. It uses the fastest K
   servers to download the data in K-way parallel. It automatically
   fails over to alternate servers if servers fail in mid-download. It
   allows seeking to arbitrary locations in the file (the previous
   downloader which would only read the entire file sequentially from
   beginning to end). It minimizes unnecessary round trips and
   unnecessary bytes transferred to improve performance. It sends
   requests to fewer servers to reduce the load on servers (the
   previous one would send a small request to every server for every
   download) (#287, #288, #448, #798, #800, #990, #1170, #1191)

 - Non-ASCII command-line arguments and non-ASCII outputs now work on
   Windows. In addition, the command-line tool now works on 64-bit
   Windows. (#1074)

** Bugfixes and Improvements

 - Document and clean up the command-line options for specifying the
   node's base directory. (#188, #706, #715, #772, #1108)
 - The default node directory for Windows is ".tahoe" in the user's
   home directory, the same as on other platforms. (#890)
 - Fix a case in which full cap URIs could be logged. (#685, #1155)
 - Fix bug in WUI in Python 2.5 when the system clock is set back to
   1969. Now you can use Tahoe-LAFS with Python 2.5 and set your
   system clock to 1969 and still use the WUI. (#1055)
 - Many improvements in code organization, tests, logging,
   documentation, and packaging. (#983, #1074, #1108, #1127, #1129,
   #1131, #1166, #1175)
