git-annex 4.20130601 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* XMPP: Git push over xmpp made much more robust.
* XMPP: Avoid redundant and unncessary pushes. Note that this breaks
compatibility with previous versions of git-annex, which will refuse
to accept any XMPP pushes from this version.
* XMPP: Send pings and use them to detect when contact with the server
is lost.
* hook special remote: Added combined hook program support.
* Android app: Avoid using hard links to app's lib directory, which
is sometimes on a different filesystem than the data directory.
* Fix bug in parsing of parens in some preferred content expressions.
This fixes the behavior of the manual mode group.
* assistant: Work around git-cat-file's not reloading the index after files
are staged.
* Improve error handling when getting uuid of http remotes to auto-ignore,
like with ssh remotes.
* content: New command line way to view and configure a repository's
preferred content settings.
* sync: Fix double merge conflict resolution handling.
* XMPP: Fix a file descriptor leak.
* Android: Added an "Open WebApp" item to the terminal's menu.
* Android: Work around Android devices where the `am` command doesn't work.
* Can now restart certain long-running git processes if they crash, and
continue working."""]]

git-annex 4.20130802 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* dropunused behavior change: Now refuses to drop the last copy of a
file, unless you use the --force.
This was the last place in git-annex that could remove data referred
to by the git history, without being forced.
Like drop, dropunused checks remotes, and honors the global
annex.numcopies setting. (However, .gitattributes settings cannot
apply to unused files.)
* Fix inverted logic in last release's fix for data loss bug,
that caused git-annex sync on FAT or other crippled filesystems to add
symlink standin files to the annex.
* importfeed can be used to import files from podcast feeds.
* webapp: When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex
on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing
use of a different ssh key. That could result in unncessary password
prompts, or prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host.
* webapp: Improve handling of remotes whose setup has stalled.
* Add status message to XMPP presence tag, to identify to others that
the client is a git-annex client. Closes: #[717652](http://bugs.debian.org/717652)
* webapp: When creating a repository on a removable drive, set
core.fsyncobjectfiles, to help prevent data loss when the drive is yanked.
* Always build with -threaded, to avoid a deadlock when communicating with
gpg.
* unused: No longer shows as unused tmp files that are actively being
transferred.
* assistant: Fix NetWatcher to not sync with remotes that have
remote.<name>.annex-sync set to false.
* assistant: Fix deadlock that could occur when adding a lot of files
at once in indirect mode.
* assistant: Fix bug that caused it to stall when adding a very large
number of files at once (around 5 thousand).
* OSX: Make git-annex-webapp run in the background, so that the app icon
can be clicked on the open a new webapp when the assistant is already
running.
* Improve test suite on Windows; now tests git annex sync.
* Fix a few bugs involving filenames that are at or near the filesystem's
maximum filename length limit.
* find: Avoid polluting stdout with progress messages. Closes: #[718186](http://bugs.debian.org/718186)
* Escape ':' in file/directory names to avoid it being treated
as a pathspec by some git commands. Closes: #[718185](http://bugs.debian.org/718185)
* Slow and ugly work around for bug #718517 in git 1.8.4~rc0, which broke
git-cat-file --batch for filenames containing spaces.
(Will be reverted after next git pre-release fixes the problem.)"""]]
