git-annex 5.20140116 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Added tahoe special remote.
* external special remote protocol: Added GETGITDIR, and GETAVAILABILITY.
* Refuse to build with git older than 1.7.1.1, which is needed for
git checkout -B
* map: Fix display of v5 direct mode repos.
* repair: Support old git versions from before git fsck --no-dangling was
implemented.
* Fix a long-standing bug that could cause the wrong index file to be used
when committing to the git-annex branch, if GIT\_INDEX\_FILE is set in the
environment. This typically resulted in git-annex branch log files being
committed to the master branch and later showing up in the work tree.
(These log files can be safely removed.)
* assistant: Detect if .git/annex/index is corrupt at startup, and
recover.
* repair: Fix bug in packed refs file exploding code that caused a .gitrefs
directory to be created instead of .git/refs
* Fix FTBFS on mipsel and sparc due to test suite not being available
on those architectures.
* Android: Avoid passing --clobber to busybox wget."""]]

git-annex 5.20140221 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* metadata: New command that can attach metadata to files.
* --metadata can be used to limit commands to acting on files
that have particular metadata.
* Preferred content expressions can use metadata=field=value
to limit them to acting on files that have particular metadata.
* view: New command that creates and checks out a branch that provides
a structured view of selected metadata.
* vfilter, vadd, vpop, vcycle: New commands for operating within views.
* pre-commit: Update metadata when committing changes to locations
of annexed files within a view.
* Add progress display for transfers to/from external special remotes.
* unused: Fix to actually detect unused keys when in direct mode.
* fsck: When run with --all or --unused, while .gitattributes
annex.numcopies cannot be honored since it's operating on keys
instead of files, make it honor the global numcopies setting,
and the annex.numcopies git config setting.
* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: Warn when the trust level is
overridden in .git/config.
* glacier: Do not try to run glacier value create when an existing glacier
remote is enabled.
* fsck: Refuse to do anything if more than one of --incremental, --more,
and --incremental-schedule are given, since it's not clear which option
should win.
* Windows webapp: Can set up box.com, Amazon S3, and rsync.net remotes
* Windows webapp: Can create repos on removable drives.
* Windows: Ensure HOME is set, as needed by bundled cygwin utilities."""]]
