## version 3.20121009
This is a maintenance release of the git-annex assistant, which is still in
beta.
In general, anything you can configure with the assistant's web app
will work. Some examples of use cases supported by this release include:
* [[Pairing|pairing_walkthrough]] two computers that are on the same local
network (or VPN) and automatically keeping the files in the annex in
sync as changes are made to them.
* Cloning your repository to removable drives, USB keys, etc. The assistant
will notice when the drive is mounted and keep it in sync.
Such a drive can be stored as an offline backup, or transported between
computers to keep them in sync.
* Cloning your repository to a remote server, running ssh, and uploading
changes made to your files to the server. There is special support
for using the rsync.net cloud provider this way, or any shell account
on a typical unix server, such as a Linode VPS can be used.
The following are known limitations of this release of the git-annex
assistant:
* On Mac OSX and BSD operating systems, the assistant uses kqueue to watch
files. Kqueue has to open every directory it watches, so too many
directories will run it out of the max number of open files (typically
1024), and fail. See [[bugs/Issue_on_OSX_with_some_system_limits]]
for a workaround.
* In order to ensure that all multiple repositories are kept in sync,
each computer with a repository must be running the git-annex assistant.
* The assistant does not yet always manage to keep repositories in sync
when some are hidden from others behind firewalls.
## version 3.20120924
This is the first beta release of the git-annex assistant.
