git-annex 4.20130314 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Bugfix: git annex add, when ran without any file or directory specified,
should add files in the current directory, but not act on unlocked files
elsewhere in the tree.
* Bugfix: drop --from an unavailable remote no longer updates the location
log, incorrectly, to say the remote does not have the key.
* Bugfix: If the UUID of a remote is not known, prevent --from, --to,
and other ways of specifying remotes by name from selecting it,
since it is not possible to sanely use it.
* Bugfix: Fix bug in inode cache sentinal check, which broke
copying to local repos if the repo being copied from had moved
to a different filesystem or otherwise changed all its inodes
* Switch from using regex-compat to regex-tdfa, as the C regex library
is rather buggy.
* status: Can now be run with a directory path to show only the
status of that directory, rather than the whole annex.
* Added remote.<name>.annex-gnupg-options setting.
Thanks, guilhem for the patch.
* addurl: Add --relaxed option.
* addurl: Escape invalid characters in urls, rather than failing to
use an invalid url.
* addurl: Properly handle url-escaped characters in file:// urls.
* assistant: Fix dropping content when a file is moved to an archive
directory, and getting contennt when a file is moved back out.
* assistant: Fix bug in direct mode that could occur when a symlink is
moved out of an archive directory, and resulted in the file not being
set to direct mode when it was transferred.
* assistant: Generate better commits for renames.
* assistant: Logs are rotated to avoid them using too much disk space.
* assistant: Avoid noise in logs from git commit about typechanged
files in direct mode repositories.
* assistant: Set gc.auto=0 when creating repositories to prevent
automatic commits from causing git-gc runs.
* assistant: If gc.auto=0, run git-gc once a day, packing loose objects
very non-aggressively.
* assistant: XMPP git pull and push requests are cached and sent when
presence of a new client is detected.
* assistant: Sync with all git remotes on startup.
* assistant: Get back in sync with XMPP remotes after network reconnection,
and on startup.
* assistant: Fix syncing after XMPP pairing.
* assistant: Optimised handling of renamed files in direct mode,
avoiding re-checksumming.
* assistant: Detects most renames, including directory renames, and
combines all their changes into a single commit.
* assistant: Fix ~/.ssh/git-annex-shell wrapper to work when the
ssh key does not force a command.
* assistant: Be smarter about avoiding unncessary transfers.
* webapp: Work around bug in Warp's slowloris attack prevention code,
that caused regular browsers to stall when they reuse a connection
after leaving it idle for 30 seconds.
(See https://github.com/yesodweb/wai/issues/146)
* webapp: New preferences page allows enabling/disabling debug logging
at runtime, as well as configuring numcopies and diskreserve.
* webapp: Repository costs can be configured by dragging repositories around
in the repository list.
* webapp: Proceed automatically on from "Configure jabber account"
to pairing.
* webapp: Only show up to 10 queued transfers.
* webapp: DTRT when told to create a git repo that already exists.
* webapp: Set locally paired repositories to a lower cost than other
network remotes.
* Run ssh with -T to avoid tty allocation and any login scripts that
may do undesired things with it.
* Several improvements to Makefile and cabal file. Thanks, Peter Simmons
* Stop depending on testpack.
* Android: Enable test suite."""]]

[[!toggleable text="""
* Android: The webapp is ported and working.
* Windows: There is a very rough Windows port. Do not trust it with
important data.
* git-annex-shell: Ensure that received files can be read. Files
transferred from some Android devices may have very broken permissions
as received.
* direct mode: Direct mode commands now work on files staged in the index,
they do not need to be committed to git.
* Temporarily add an upper bound to the version of yesod that can be built
with, since yesod 1.2 has a great many changes that will require extensive
work on the webapp.
* Disable building with the haskell threaded runtime when the assistant
is not built. This may fix builds on s390x and sparc, which are failing
to link -lHSrts\_thr
* Avoid depending on regex-tdfa on mips, mipsel, and s390, where it fails
to build.
* direct: Fix a bug that could cause some files to be left in indirect mode.
* When initializing a directory special remote with a relative path,
the path is made absolute.
* SHA: Add a runtime sanity check that sha commands output something
that appears to be a real sha.
* configure: Better checking that sha commands output in the desired format.
* rsync special remotes: When sending from a crippled filesystem, use
the destination's default file permissions, as the local ones can
be arbitrarily broken. (Ie, ----rwxr-x for files on Android)
* migrate: Detect if a file gets corrupted while it's being migrated.
* Debian: Add a menu file."""]]
