git-annex 5.20150812 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Added support for SHA3 hashed keys (in 8 varieties), when git-annex is
built using the cryptonite library.
* metadata: Fix reversion introduced in 5.20150727 that caused recursive
display of metadata to not work.
* Windows: Fix bug that caused git-annex sync to fail due to missing
environment variable.
* Fix setting/setting/viewing metadata that contains unicode or other
special characters, when in a non-unicode locale.
* Simplify setup process for a ssh remote. Now it suffices to run git
remote add, followed by git-annex sync. Now the remote is automatically
initialized for use by git-annex, where before the git-annex branch had
to manually be pushed before using git-annex sync. Note that this
involved changes to git-annex-shell, so if the remote is using an old
version, the manual push is still needed.
* git-annex-shell: Don't let configlist auto-init repository when in
readonly mode.
* Perform a clean shutdown when --time-limit is reached.
This includes running queued git commands, and cleanup actions normally
run when a command is finished.
* fsck: Commit incremental fsck database when --time-limit is reached.
Previously, some of the last files fscked did not make it into the
database when using --time-limit.
* fsck: Commit incremental fsck database after every 1000 files
fscked, or every 5 minutes, whichever comes first. Previously,
commits were made every 1000 files fscked.
* Linux standalone: Work around problem that prevented it from working
properly if unpacked into a directory that contains ":" or ";" in its
name.
* proxy: Fix proxy git commit of non-annexed files in direct mode.
* proxy: If a non-proxied git command, such as git revert
would normally fail because of unstaged files in the work tree,
make the proxied command fail the same way.
* proxy: Fix removal of files deleted by the proxied command.
* proxy: Fix behavior when run in subdirectory of git repo.
* Improve Setup.hs file so that cabal copy --destdir works.
Thanks, Magnus Therning.
* Tighten dependency on optparse-applicative to 0.11.0.
* Added back debian/cabal-wrapper, since it still seems needed after all."""]]

git-annex 5.20150824 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Sped up downloads of files from ssh remotes, reducing the
non-data-transfer overhead 6x.
* sync: Support --jobs
* sync --content: Avoid unnecessary second pull from remotes when
no file transfers are made.
* External special remotes can now be built that can be used in readonly
mode, where git-annex downloads content from the remote using regular
http.
* Added WHEREIS to external special remote protocol.
* importfeed --relaxed: Avoid hitting the urls of items in the feed.
* Fix reversion in init when ran as root, introduced in version 5.20150731.
* Reorder declaration to fix build with yesod-core > 1.4.13.
Thanks, Michael Alan Dorman.
* Fix building without quvi and without database.
Thanks, Ben Boeckel.
* Avoid building the assistant on the hurd, since an inotify equivalent
is not yet implemented in git-annex for the hurd.
* --debug log messages are now timestamped with fractional seconds.
* --debug is passed along to git-annex-shell when git-annex is in debug mode.
* Makefile: Pass LDFLAGS, CFLAGS, and CPPFLAGS through ghc and on to
ld, cc, and cpp.
* As a result of the Makefile changes, the Debian package is built
with various hardening options. Although their benefit to a largely
haskell program is unknown."""]]
Note: The x86-64 bit linux standalone tarball shipped with this version had
a broken version of ssh that crashed on startup. The tarball has been
updated to fix this problem.

git-annex 5.20151019 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix a longstanding, but unlikely to occur bug, where dropping
a file from a remote could race with other drops of the same file,
and result in all copies of its content being lost.
* git-annex-shell: Added lockcontent command, to prevent dropping of
a key's content. This is necessary due to the above bugfix.
* In some cases, the above bugfix changes what git-annex allows you to
drop:
- When a file is present in several special remotes,
but not in any accessible git repositories, dropping it from one of
the special remotes will now fail. Instead, the file has to be
moved from one of the special remotes to the git repository, and can
then safely be dropped from the git repository.
- If a git remote has too old a version of git-annex-shell installed,
git-annex won't trust it to hold onto a copy of a file when dropping
that file from the local git repository.
* Changed drop ordering when using git annex sync --content or the
assistant, to drop from remotes first and from the local repo last.
This works better with the behavior changes to drop in many cases.
* Do verification of checksums of annex objects downloaded from remotes.
* When annex objects are received into git repositories from other git
repos, their checksums are verified then too.
* To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set
annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false.
* setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file
matches the expected checksum of the key, unless annex.verify=false.
* reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by
setting annex.verify=false.
* sync, merge, assistant: When git merge failed for a reason other
than a conflicted merge, such as a crippled filesystem not allowing
particular characters in filenames, git-annex would make a merge commit
that could omit such files or otherwise be bad. Fixed by aborting the
whole merge process when git merge fails for any reason other than a
merge conflict.
* Allow building with S3 disabled again.
* Ported disk free space checking code to work on Solaris.
* Windows webapp: Fix support for entering password when setting
up a ssh remote.
* copy --auto was checking the wrong repo's preferred content.
(--from was checking what --to should, and vice-versa.)
Fixed this bug, which was introduced in version 5.20150727.
* Avoid unncessary write to the location log when a file is unlocked
and then added back with unchanged content.
* S3: Fix support for using https.
* Avoid displaying network transport warning when a ssh remote
does not yet have an annex.uuid set.
* Debian: Add torrent library to build-depends as it's packaged now,
and stop recommending bittornado | bittorrent.
* Debian: Remove build dependency on transformers library, as it is now
included in ghc.
* Debian: Remote menu file, since a desktop file is provided and
lintian says there can be only one."""]]
