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."""]]

git-annex 5.20140421 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* assistant: Now detects immediately when other repositories push
changes to a ssh remote, and pulls.
** XMPP is no longer needed in this configuration! **
This requires the remote server have git-annex-shell with
notifychanges support (>= 5.20140405)
* webapp: Show a network signal icon next to ssh and xmpp remotes that
it's currently connected with.
* webapp: Rework xmpp nudge to prompt for either xmpp or a ssh remote
to be set up.
* sync, assistant, remotedaemon: Use ssh connection caching for git pushes
and pulls.
* remotedaemon: When network connection is lost, close all cached ssh
connections.
* Improve handling of monthly/yearly scheduling.
* Avoid depending on shakespeare except for when building the webapp.
* uninit: Avoid making unncessary copies of files.
* info: Allow use in a repository where annex.uuid is not set.
* reinit: New command that can initialize a new repository using
the configuration of a previously known repository.
Useful if a repository got deleted and you want
to clone it back the way it was.
* drop --from: When local repository is untrusted, its copy of a file does
not count.
* Bring back rsync -p, but only when git-annex is running on a non-crippled
file system. This is a better approach to fix #700282 while not
unncessarily losing file permissions on non-crippled systems.
* webapp: Start even if the current directory is listed in
~/.config/git-annex/autostart but no longer has a git repository in it.
* findref: New command, like find but shows files in a specified git ref.
* webapp: Fix UI for removing XMPP connection.
* When init detects that git is not configured to commit, and sets
user.email to work around the problem, also make it set user.name.
* webapp: Support using git-annex on a remote server, which was installed
from the standalone tarball or OSX app, and so does not have
git-annex in PATH (and may also not have git or rsync in PATH).
* standalone tarball, OSX app: Install a ~/.ssh/git-annex-wrapper, which
can be used to run git-annex, git, rsync, etc."""]]
