git-annex 5.20150327 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* readpresentkey: New plumbing command for checking location log.
* checkpresentkey: New plumbing command to check if a key can be verified
to be present on a remote.
* Added a post-update-annex hook, which is run after the git-annex branch
is updated. Needed for git update-server-info.
* migrate: --force will force migration of keys already using the
destination backend. Useful in rare cases.
* Man pages for individual commands now available, and can be
opened using "git annex help <command>"
* --auto is no longer a global option; only get, drop, and copy
accept it. (Not a behavior change unless you were passing it to a
command that ignored it.)
* Improve error message when --in @date is used and there is no
reflog for the git-annex branch.
* assistant: Committing a whole lot of files at once could overflow
command-line length limits and cause the commit to fail. This
only happened when using the assistant in an indirect mode repository.
* Work around curl bug when asked to download an empty url to a file.
* Fix bug introduced in the last release that broke git-annex sync
when git-annex was installed from the standalone tarball."""]]

git-annex 5.20150508 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Improve behavior when a git-annex command is told to operate
on a file that doesn't exist. It will now continue to other
files specified after that on the command line, and only error out at
the end.
* S3: Enable debug logging when annex.debug or --debug is set.
* S3: git annex info will show additional information about a S3 remote
(endpoint, port, storage class)
* S3: Let git annex enableremote be used, without trying to recreate
a bucket that should already exist.
* S3: Fix incompatability with bucket names used by hS3; the aws library
cannot handle upper-case bucket names. git-annex now converts them to
lower case automatically.
* import: Check for gitignored files before moving them into the tree.
(Needs git 1.8.4 or newer.)
* import: Don't stop entire import when one file fails due to being
gitignored or conflicting with something in the work tree.
* import: Before removing a duplicate file in --deduplicate or
--clean-duplicates mode, verify that enough copies of its content still
exist.
* Improve integration with KDE's file manager to work with dolphin
version 14.12.3 while still being compatable with 4.14.2.
Thanks, silvio.
* assistant: Added --autostop to complement --autostart.
* Work around wget bug #784348 which could cause it to clobber git-annex
symlinks when downloading from ftp.
* Support checking ftp urls for file presence.
* Fix bogus failure of fsck --fast.
* fsck: Ignore error recording the fsck in the activity log,
which can happen when running fsck in a read-only repository.
Closes: #[698559](http://bugs.debian.org/698559)
(fsck can still need to write to the repository if it find problems,
but a successful fsck can be done read-only)
* Improve quvi 0.4 output parsing to handle cases wher there is no known
filename extension. This is currently the case when using quvi with
youtube. In this case, the extension ".m" will be used.
* Dropped support for older versions of yesod, warp, and dbus than the ones
in Debian Jessie.
* Switch from the obsolete dataenc library for base64 encoding to sandi.
(Thanks, Magnus Therning)
* Debian's ghc now supports TH on arm! Adjust build dependencies
to build the webapp on arm, and enable DAV support on arm. \o/
* Adjust some other arch specific build dependencies that are now
available on more architectures in Devian unstable.
* Windows: Remove cygwin ssh, the newer version of which has stopped
honoring the setting of HOME. Instead, copy msysgit's ssh into PATH.
Note that setting up a remote ssh server using password authentication
is known to be broken in this release on Windows.
* Windows: Roll back to an older version of rsync from cygwin.
The newer version has some dependency on a newer ssh from cygwin."""]]
