git-annex 0.20 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Preserve specified file ordering when instructed to act on multiple
files or directories. For example, "git annex get a b" will now always
get "a" before "b". Previously it could operate in either order.
* unannex: Commit staged changes at end, to avoid some confusing behavior
with the pre-commit hook, which would see some types of commits after
an unannex as checking in of an unlocked file.
* map: New subcommand that uses graphviz to display a nice map of
the git repository network.
* Deal with the mtl/monads-fd conflict.
* configure: Check for sha1sum."""]]

News for git-annex 0.20110316:
This version reorganises the layout of git-annex's files in your repository.
There is an upgrade process to convert a repository from the old git-annex
to this version. While git-annex will attempt to transparently handle
upgrades, you may want to drive the upgrade process by hand.
See <http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/> or

git-annex 0.20110316 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* New repository format, annex.version=2.
* The first time git-annex is run in an old format repository, it
will automatically upgrade it to the new format, staging all
necessary changes to git. Also added a "git annex upgrade" command.
* Colons are now avoided in filenames, so bare clones of git repos
can be put on USB thumb drives formatted with vFAT or similar
filesystems.
* Added two levels of hashing to object directory and .git-annex logs,
to improve scalability with enormous numbers of annexed
objects. (With one hundred million annexed objects, each
directory would contain fewer than 1024 files.)
* The setkey, fromkey, and dropkey subcommands have changed how
the key is specified. --backend is no longer used with these."""]]
