git-annex 5.20140210 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* --in can now refer to files that were located in a repository at
some past date. For example, --in="here@{yesterday}"
* Fixed direct mode annexed content locking code, which is used to
guard against recursive file drops.
* This is the first beta-level release of the Windows port with important
fixes (see below).
(The webapp and assistant are still alpha-level on Windows.)
* sync --content: Honor annex-ignore configuration.
* sync: Don't try to sync with xmpp remotes, which are only currently
supported when using the assistant.
* sync --content: Re-pull from remotes after downloading content,
since that can take a while and other changes may be pushed in the
meantime.
* sync --content: Reuse smart copy code from copy command, including
handling and repairing out of date location tracking info.
Closes: #[737480](http://bugs.debian.org/737480)
* sync --content: Drop files from remotes that don't want them after
getting them.
* sync: Fix bug in automatic merge conflict resolution code when used
on a filesystem not supporting symlinks, which resulted in it losing
track of the symlink bit of annexed files.
* Added ways to configure rsync options to be used only when uploading
or downloading from a remote. Useful to eg limit upload bandwidth.
* Fix initremote with encryption=pubkey to work with S3, glacier, webdav,
and external special remotes.
* Avoid building with DAV 0.6 which is badly broken (see #737902).
* Fix dropping of unused keys with spaces in their name.
* Fix build on platforms not supporting the webapp.
* Document in man page that sshcaching uses ssh ControlMaster.
Closes: #[737476](http://bugs.debian.org/737476)
* Windows: It's now safe to run multiple git-annex processes concurrently
on Windows; the lock files have been sorted out.
* Windows: Avoid using unix-compat's rename, which refuses to rename
directories.
* Windows: Fix deletion of repositories by test suite and webapp.
* Windows: Test suite 100% passes again.
* Windows: Fix bug in symlink calculation code.
* Windows: Fix handling of absolute unix-style git repository paths.
* Android: Avoid crashing when unable to set file mode for ssh config file
due to Android filesystem horribleness."""]]

git-annex 5.20140320 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix zombie leak and general inneficiency when copying files to a
local git repo.
* Fix ssh connection caching stop method to work with openssh 6.5p1,
which broke the old method.
* webapp: Added a "Sync now" item to each repository's menu.
* webapp: Use securemem for constant time auth token comparisons.
* copy --fast --to remote: Avoid printing anything for files that
are already believed to be present on the remote.
* Commands that allow specifying which repository to act on using
the repository's description will now fail when multiple repositories
match, rather than picking a repository at random.
(So will --in=)
* Better workaround for problem umasks when eg, setting up ssh keys.
* "standard" can now be used as a first-class keyword in preferred content
expressions. For example "standard or (include=otherdir/*)"
* groupwanted can be used in preferred content expressions.
* vicfg: Allows editing preferred content expressions for groups.
* Improve behavior when unable to parse a preferred content expression
(thanks, ion).
* metadata: Add --get
* metadata: Support --key option (and some other ones like --all)
* For each metadata field, there's now an automatically maintained
"$field-lastchanged" that gives the date of the last change to that
field. Also the "lastchanged" field for the date of the last change
to any of a file's metadata.
* unused: In direct mode, files that are deleted from the work tree
and so have no content present are no longer incorrectly detected as
unused.
* Avoid encoding errors when using the unused log file.
* map: Fix crash when one of the remotes of a repo is a local directory
that does not exist, or is not a git repo.
* repair: Improve memory usage when git fsck finds a great many broken
objects.
* Windows: Fix some filename encoding bugs.
* rsync special remote: Fix slashes when used on Windows."""]]
