* assistant, watcher: .gitignore files and other git ignores are now
honored, when git 1.8.4 or newer is installed.
(Thanks, Adam Spiers, for getting the necessary support into git for this.)
* importfeed: Ignores transient problems with feeds. Only exits nonzero
when a feed has repeatedly had a problems for at least 1 day.
* importfeed: Fix handling of dots in extensions.
* Windows: Added support for encrypted special remotes.
* Windows: Fixed permissions problem that prevented removing files

Git-annex already supports storing large files in
|
|
several cloud providers via [[special_remotes]].
|
|
More should be added, such as:
|
|
|
|
* Google drive (attractive because it's free, only 5 gb tho)
|
|
* Owncloud (has several [providers](http://owncloud.org/providers/);
|
|
at least one provides 5 gb free; open DAV based API)
|
|
* OpenStack Swift (teh future)
|
|
* Box.com (it's free, and current method is hard to set up and a sorta
|
|
shakey; a better method would be to use its API) **done**
|
|
* Dropbox? That would be ironic.. Via its API, presumably.
|
|
* [[Amazon Glacier|todo/special_remote_for_amazon_glacier]] **done**
|
|
* Internet Archive **done**
|
|
* [nimbus.io](https://nimbus.io/) Fairly low prices ($0.06/GB);
|
|
REST API; free software
|
|
* Mediafire provides 50gb free and has a REST API.
|
|
* Flickr provides 1 tb (!!!!) to free accounts, and can store at least
|
|
photos and videos. <https://github.com/ricardobeat/filr> is a hack
|
|
to allow storing any type of file on Flickr.
|
|
* mega.co.nz. Already supported via [[tips/megaannex]], would just need
|
|
webapp modifications to configure it. May want to use megaannex as-is to
|
|
build a non-hook special remote in haskell.
