git-annex 5.20140127 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* sync --content: New option that makes the content of annexed files be
transferred. Similar to the assistant, this honors any configured
preferred content expressions.
* Remove --json option from commands not supporting it.
* status: Support --json.
* list: Fix specifying of files to list.
* Allow --all to be mixed with matching options like --copies and --in
(but not --include and --exclude).
* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
clones of a repository.
* The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
git configs will be ignored.
* assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
* Add lackingcopies, approxlackingcopies, and unused to
preferred content expressions.
* Client, transfer, incremental backup, and archive repositories
now want to get content that does not yet have enough copies.
* Client, transfer, and source repositories now do not want to retain
unused file contents.
* assistant: Checks daily for unused file contents, and when possible
moves them to a repository (such as a backup repository) that
wants to retain them.
* assistant: annex.expireunused can be configured to cause unused
file contents to be deleted after some period of time.
* webapp: Nudge user to see if they want to expire old unused file
contents when a lot of them seem to be piling up in the repository.
* repair: Check git version at run time.
* assistant: Run the periodic git gc in batch mode.
* added annex.secure-erase-command config option.
* Optimise non-bare http remotes; no longer does a 404 to the wrong
url every time before trying the right url. Needs annex-bare to be
set to false, which is done when initially probing the uuid of a
http remote.
* webapp: After upgrading a git repository to git-annex, fix
bug that made it temporarily not be synced with.
* whereis: Support --all.
* All commands that support --all also support a --key option,
which limits them to acting on a single key."""]]

git-annex 5.20140227 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* metadata: Field names limited to alphanumerics and a few whitelisted
punctuation characters to avoid issues with views, etc.
* metadata: Field names are now case insensative.
* When constructing views, metadata is available about the location of the
file in the view's reference branch. Allows incorporating parts of the
directory hierarchy in a view.
For example `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` makes a view in the form
tag/showname.
* --metadata field=value can now use globs to match, and matches
case insensatively, the same as git annex view field=value does.
* annex.genmetadata can be set to make git-annex automatically set
metadata (year and month) when adding files.
* Make annex.web-options be used in several places that call curl.
* Fix handling of rsync remote urls containing a username,
including rsync.net.
* Preserve metadata when staging a new version of an annexed file.
* metadata: Support --json
* webapp: Fix creation of box.com and Amazon S3 and Glacier
repositories, broken in 5.20140221.
* webdav: When built with DAV 0.6.0, use the new DAV monad to avoid
locking files, which is not needed by git-annex's use of webdav, and
does not work on Box.com.
* webdav: Fix path separator bug when used on Windows.
* repair: Optimise unpacking of pack files, and avoid repeated error
messages about corrupt pack files.
* Add build dep on regex-compat to fix build on mipsel, which lacks
regex-tdfa.
* Disable test suite on sparc, which is missing optparse-applicative.
* Put non-object tmp files in .git/annex/misctmp, leaving .git/annex/tmp
for only partially transferred objects."""]]
