git-annex 3.20130216 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Now uses the Haskell uuid library, rather than needing a uuid program.
* Now uses the Haskell Glob library, rather than pcre-light, avoiding
the need to install libpcre. Currently done only for Cabal or when
the Makefile is made to use -DWITH\_GLOB
* Android port now available (command-line only).
* New annex.crippledfilesystem setting, allows use of git-annex
repositories on FAT and even worse filesystems; avoiding use of
hard links and locked down permissions settings. (Support is incomplete.)
* init: Detect when the repository is on a filesystem that does not
support hard links, or symlinks, or unix permissions, and set
annex.crippledfilesystem, as well as annex.direct.
* add: Improved detection of files that are modified while being added.
* Fix a bug in direct mode, introduced in the previous release, where
if a file was dropped and then got back, it would be stored in indirect
mode."""]]

git-annex 4.20130417 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* initremote: Generates encryption keys with high quality entropy.
This can be disabled using --fast to get the old behavior.
The assistant still uses low-quality entropy when creating encrypted
remotes, to avoid delays. (Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
* Bugfix: Direct mode no longer repeatedly checksums duplicated files.
* assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of
gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub.
Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use
such keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard
ssh key names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/,
which gnome-keyring will not check.
* addurl: Bugfix: Did not properly add file in direct mode.
* assistant: Bug fix to avoid annexing the files that git uses
to stand in for symlinks on FAT and other filesystem not supporting
symlinks.
* Adjust preferred content expressions so that content in archive
directories is preferred until it has reached an archive or smallarchive
repository.
* webapp: New --listen= option allows running the webapp on one computer
and connecting to it from another. (Note: Does not yet use HTTPS.)
* Added annex.web-download-command setting.
* Added per-remote annex-rsync-transport option. (guilhem again)
* Ssh connection caching is now also used by rsync special remotes.
(guilhem yet again)
* The version number is now derived from git, unless built with
VERSION\_FROM\_CHANGELOG.
* assistant: Stop any transfers the assistant initiated on shutdown.
* assistant: Added sequence numbers to XMPP git push packets. (Not yet used.)
* addurl: Register transfer so the webapp can see it.
* addurl: Automatically retry downloads that fail, as long as some
additional content was downloaded.
* webapp: Much improved progress bar display for downloads from encrypted
remotes.
* Avoid using runghc, as that needs ghci.
* webapp: When a repository's group is changed, rescan for transfers.
* webapp: Added animations.
* webapp: Include the repository directory in the mangled hostname and
ssh key name, so that a locked down ssh key for one repository is not
re-used when setting up additional repositories on the same server.
* Fall back to internal url downloader when built without curl.
* fsck: Check content of direct mode files (only when the inode cache
thinks they are unmodified)."""]]
