News for git-annex 7.20181031:
Repository version 7 is now available. v6 repositories will automatically
upgrade to v7. v5 repositories are still supported and will not be
automatically upgraded yet.
Direct mode is deprecated, and upgrading direct mode repositories to v7 is
encouraged, unless they need to remain usable by older versions of git-annex.
Just run `git annex upgrade`.
git-annex will no longer initialize new repositories on crippled filesystems
using direct mode, instead it uses v7.
The git-annex Android app is no longer being updated. Users of the app
should remove it and install using the new Termux based installation method.
git-annex 7.20181031 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Added v7 repository mode. v6 upgrades automatically to v7, but
v5 is still the default for now. While v6 was always experimental
to some degree, its successor v7 is ready for production use!
http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/unlocked\_files/
* Direct mode repositories are deprecated; they have many problems
that v7 fixes, so upgrading them now is recommended (but not yet
required): git annex upgrade --version=7
* init: When in a crippled filesystem, initialize a v7 repository
using an adjusted unlocked branch, instead of a direct mode repository.
* At long last there's a way to hide annexed files whose content
is missing from the working tree: git-annex adjust --hide-missing
See https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/hiding\_missing\_files/
* When already in an adjusted branch, running git-annex adjust
again will update the branch as needed. This is mostly
useful with --hide-missing to hide/unhide files after their content
has been dropped or received.
* git-annex sync --content supports --hide-missing; it can
be used to get the content of hidden files, and it updates the
adjusted branch to hide/unhide files as necessary.
* smudge: The smudge filter no longer provides git with annexed
file content, to avoid a git memory leak, and because that did not
honor annex.thin. Now git annex smudge --update has to be run
after a checkout to update unlocked files in the working tree
with annexed file contents.
* v7 init, upgrade: Install git post-checkout and post-merge hooks that run
git annex smudge --update.
* precommit: Run git annex smudge --update, because the post-merge
hook is not run when there is a merge conflict. So the work tree will
be updated when a commit is made to resolve the merge conflict.
* Note that git has no hooks run after git stash or git cherry-pick,
so the user will have to manually run git annex smudge --update
after such commands.
* Removed the old Android app.
* Removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1,
and with yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output,
which were only being used for the Android cross build.
* Webapp: Fix termux detection.
* runshell: Use system locales when built with
GIT\_ANNEX\_PACKAGE\_INSTALL set. (For Neurodebian packages.)
* Fix database inconsistency that could cause git-annex to
get confused about whether a locked file's content was present.
* Fix concurrency bug that occurred on the first download from an
exporttree remote.
* init --version=6 will still work, but the repository is auto-upgraded
immediately to v7.
* When annex.thin is set, allow hard links to be made between executable
work tree files and annex objects.
* addurl: Removed undocumented special case in handling of a CHECKURL-MULTI
response with only a single file listed. Rather than ignoring the url that
was in the response, use it.
* webapp: Fixed a crash when adding a git remote.
(Reversion introduced in version 6.20180112)
* migrate: Fix failure to migrate from URL keys.
(Reversion introduced in version 6.20180926)
* Cache high-resolution mtimes for improved detection of modified files
in v7 (and direct mode)."""]]

git-annex 7.20190122 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* sync --content: Fix dropping unwanted content from the local repository.
* sync --content: Support dropping local content that has reached an
exporttree remote that is not untrusted (currently only S3 remotes
with versioning).
* init: When --version=5 is passed on a crippled filesystem,
use a v5 direct mode repo as requested, rather than upgrading to v7
adjusted unlocked. (Fixes test suite on crippled filesystems.)
* Some optimisations, including a 10x faster timestamp parser,
a 7x faster key parser, and improved parsing and serialization of
git-annex branch data. Many commands will run 5-15% faster.
* Stricter parser for keys doesn't allow doubled fields or out of order fields.
* The benchmark command, which only had some old benchmarking of the sqlite
databases before, now allows benchmarking any other git-annex commands.
* Support being built with ghc 8.6.3 (MonadFail).
* Removed old code that cleaned up after a bug in git-annex versions
3.20111105-3.20111110. In the unlikely event that a repo was
last touched by that ancient git-annex version, the descriptions
of remotes would appear missing when used with this version of
git-annex.
* Improve uuid.log parser to preserve whitespace in repo descriptions.
* Improve activity.log parser to not remove unknown values,
allowing for future expansion.
* addunused, merge, assistant: Avoid creating work tree files in
subdirectories in an edge case where the key contains "/".
* testremote: Support testing readonly remotes with the --test-readonly option.
* Switch to using .git/annex/othertmp for tmp files other than partial
downloads, and make stale files left in that directory when git-annex
is interrupted be cleaned up promptly by subsequent git-annex processes.
* The .git/annex/misctmp directory is no longer used and git-annex will
delete anything lingering in there after it's 1 week old.
* Estimated time to completion display shortened from eg "1h1m1s" to "1h1m".
* Fix doubled progress display when downloading an url when -J is used.
* unused: Update suggested git log message to see where data was previously
used so it will also work with v7 unlocked pointer files.
* importfeed: Better error message when downloading the feed fails.
* Make test suite work better when the temp directory is on NFS.
* webapp: Remove configurator for box.com repository, since their
webdav support is going away at the end of this January.
* webapp: Remove configurator for gitlab, which stopped supporting git-annex
some time ago.
* Android: For armv71 architecture, use the armel build.
* Windows: If 64 bit git is installed, use it when installing git-annex.
(However, rsync still won't work and this is still not the documented way
to install it.)"""]]
