    Update to 1.9.0.

    - The most significant new feature in this release is MDMF: "Medium-size
      Distributed Mutable Files". Unlike standard SDMF files, these provide
      efficient partial-access (reading and modifying small portions of the file
      instead of the whole thing). MDMF is opt-in (it is not yet the default
      format for mutable files), both to ensure compatibility with previous
      versions, and because the algorithm does not yet meet memory-usage goals.
      Enable it with ``--format=MDMF`` in the CLI (``tahoe put`` and ``tahoe
      mkdir``), or the "format" radioboxes in the web interface. See
      `<docs/specifications/mutable.rst>`_ for more details (`#393`_, `#1507`_)
    - A "blacklist" feature allows blocking access to specific files through
      a particular gateway. See the "Access Blacklist" section of
      `<docs/configuration.rst>`_ for more details. (`#1425`_)
    - A "drop-upload" feature has been added, which allows you to upload
      files to a Tahoe-LAFS directory just by writing them to a local
      directory. This feature is experimental and should not be relied on
      to store the only copy of valuable data. It is currently available
      only on Linux. See `<docs/frontends/drop-upload.rst>`_ for documentation.
      (`#1429`_)
    - The timeline of immutable downloads can be viewed using a zoomable and
      pannable JavaScript-based visualization. This is accessed using the
      'timeline' link on the File Download Status page for the download, which
      can be reached from the Recent Uploads and Downloads page.
