ANN: Tahoe-LAFS 1.12.0 released

[Paul Rabahy]

I should have mentioned this a couple of days ago, but I am happy to
announce that the Public Test Grid has been updated to 1.12.0. There
were a couple of minor bugs that I discovered in the process, but
overall the process was smooth.

Now that multiple introducers are supported, if anyone wants to host an
introducer, just add it to
https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/TestGrid
Hopefully if we get a couple more introducers we can reach 100% uptime
for the grid.

Thanks again to hard work from the development team.
