+*** buildslave --umask control
+
+Twisted's daemonization utility (/usr/bin/twistd) automatically sets the
+umask to 077, which means that all files generated by both the buildmaster
+and the buildslave will only be readable by the account under which the
+respective daemon is running. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to share
+build products (e.g. by symlinking ~/public_html/current_docs/ to a directory
+within the slave's build directory where each build puts the results of a
+"make docs" step).
+
+The 'buildbot slave <PARAMS>' command now accepts a --umask argument, which
+can be used to override the umask set by twistd. If you create the buildslave
+with '--umask=022', then all build products will be world-readable, making it
+easier for other processes (run under other accounts) to access them.

 TryScheduler would explode when it was given a Change (which it is supposed

+The Waterfall display now does more quoting of names (including Builder
+names, BuildStep names, etc), so it is more likely that these names can
+contain unusual characters like spaces, quotes, and slashes. There may still
+be some problems with these kinds of names, however.. please report any bugs
