-git-annex 5.20131118 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Direct mode repositories now have core.bare=true set, to prevent
-     accidentally running git commands that try to operate on the work tree,
-     and so do the wrong thing in direct mode.
-   * annex.version is now set to 5 for direct mode repositories.
-     This upgrade is handled fully automatically, no need to run
-     git annex upgrade
-   * The "status" command has been renamed to "info", to allow
-     "git annex status" to be used in direct mode repositories, now that
-     "git status" won't work in them.
-   * The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by
-     git-annex, but it is passed along to every git command git-annex runs.
-   * watcher: Avoid loop when adding a file owned by someone else fails
-     in indirect mode because its permissions cannot be modified.
-   * webapp: Avoid encoding problems when displaying the daemon log file.
-   * webapp: Improve UI around remote that have no annex.uuid set,
-     either because setup of them is incomplete, or because the remote
-     git repository is not a git-annex repository.
-   * Include ssh-keygen in standalone bundle.
-   * Allow optionally configuring git-annex with -fEKG to enable awesome
-     remote monitoring interfaceat http://localhost:4242/
-   * Fix bug that caused bad information to be written to the git-annex branch
-     when running describe or other commands with a remote that has no uuid.
-   * Work around Android linker problem that had prevented git-annex from
-     running on Android 4.3 and 4.4.
-   * repair: Handle case where index file is corrupt, but all objects are ok.
-   * assistant: Notice on startup when the index file is corrupt, and
-     auto-repair.
-   * Fix direct mode merge bug when a direct mode file was deleted and replaced
-     with a directory. An ordering problem caused the directory to not get
-     created in this case.
-     Thanks to Tim for the test case.
-   * Direct mode .git/annex/objects directories are no longer left writable,
-     because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
-     which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.
-     Thanks to Tim for the test case.
-   * fsck: Fix up .git/annex/object directory permissions.
-   * Switched to the tasty test framework.
-   * Android: Adjust default .gitignore to ignore .thumbnails at any location
-     in the tree, not just at its top.
-   * webapp: Check annex.version."""]]

+   * assistant: Fix OSX-specific bug that caused the startup scan to try to
+     follow symlinks to other directories, and add their contents to the annex.
+   * assistant: Set StrictHostKeyChecking yes when creating ssh remotes,
+     and add it to the configuration for any ssh remotes previously created
+     by the assistant. This avoids repeated prompts by ssh if the host key
+     changes, instead syncing with such a remote will fail. Closes: #[732602](http://bugs.debian.org/732602)
+   * Fix test suite to cover lock --force change.
+   * Add plumbing-level lookupkey and examinekey commands.
+   * find --format: Added hashdirlower, hashdirmixed, keyname, and mtime
+     format variables.
+   * assistant: Always batch changes found in startup scan.
+   * An armel Linux standalone build is now available, which includes the
+     webapp.
+   * Programs from Linux and OSX standalone builds can now be symlinked
+     into a directory in PATH as an alternative installation method, and will
+     use readlink to find where the build was unpacked.
+   * Include man pages in Linux and OSX standalone builds.
+   * Linux standalone build now includes its own glibc and forces the linker to
+     use it, to remove dependence on the host glibc."""]]
