git-annex 6.20170818 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]

|
||||
* Security fix: Disallow hostname starting with a dash, which
|
||||
would get passed to ssh and be treated an option. This could
|
||||
be used by an attacker who provides a crafted repository url
|
||||
to cause the victim to execute arbitrary code via -oProxyCommand.
|
||||
(The same class of security hole recently affected git itself.)
|
||||
* git-annex.cabal: Deal with breaking changes in Cabal 2.0.
|
||||
* Fix build with QuickCheck 2.10.
|
||||
* fsck: Support --json.
|
||||
* move, copy: Support --batch.
|
||||
* Added GIT\_ANNEX\_VECTOR\_CLOCK environment variable, which can be used to
|
||||
override the default timestamps used in log files in the git-annex
|
||||
branch. This is a dangerous environment variable; use with caution.
|
||||
* Fix a git-annex test failure when run on NFS due to NFS lock files
|
||||
preventing directory removal.
|
||||
* test: Avoid most situations involving failure to delete test
|
||||
directories, by forking a worker process and only deleting the test
|
||||
directory once it exits.
|
||||
* Disable http-client's default 30 second response timeout when HEADing
|
||||
an url to check if it exists. Some web servers take quite a long time
|
||||
to answer a HEAD request.
|
||||
* Added remote configuration settings annex-ignore-command and
|
||||
annex-sync-command, which are dynamic equivilants of the annex-ignore
|
||||
and annex-sync configurations.
|
||||
* Prevent spaces from being embedded in the name of new WORM keys,
|
||||
as that handing spaces in keys would complicate things like the
|
||||
external special remote protocol.
|
||||
* migrate: WORM keys containing spaces will be migrated to not contain
|
||||
spaces anymore.
|
||||
* External special remotes will refuse to operate on keys with spaces in
|
||||
their names. That has never worked correctly due to the design of the
|
||||
external special remote protocol. Display an error message suggesting
|
||||
migration.
|
||||
* Fix incorrect external special remote documentation, which said that
|
||||
the filename parameter to the TRANSFER command could not contain
|
||||
spaces. It can in fact contain spaces. Special remotes implementors
|
||||
that relied on that may need to fix bugs in their special remotes.
|
||||
* Fix the external special remotes git-annex-remote-ipfs,
|
||||
git-annex-remote-torrent and the example.sh template to correctly
|
||||
support filenames with spaces.
|
||||
* Windows: Win32 package has subsumed Win32-extras; update dependency."""]]
