 {{{
 New Features
 ''''''''''''

 - 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`_)
 }}}
 {{{
 Compatibility and Dependencies
 ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

 - The Twisted dependency has been raised to version 10.1. This ensures
   that we no longer require pywin32 on Windows even when using older
   versions of Twisted, that the new drop-upload feature has the required
   support from Twisted on Linux, and that it is never necessary to
   patch Twisted in order to use the FTP frontend.
