git-annex 3.20120227 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Modifications to support ghc 7.4's handling of filenames.
This version can only be built with ghc 7.4 or newer. See the ghc7.0
branch for older ghcs.
* S3: Fix irrefutable pattern failure when accessing encrypted S3
credentials.
* Use the haskell IfElse library.
* Fix teardown of stale cached ssh connections.
* Fixed to use the strict state monad, to avoid leaking all kinds of memory
due to lazy state update thunks when adding/fixing many files.
* Fixed some memory leaks that occurred when committing journal files.
* Added a annex.queuesize setting, useful when adding hundreds of thousands
of files on a system with plenty of memory.
* whereis: Prints the urls of files that the web special remote knows about.
* addurl --fast: Verifies that the url can be downloaded (only getting
its head), and records the size in the key.
* When checking that an url has a key, verify that the Content-Length,
if available, matches the size of the key.
* addurl: Added a --file option, which can be used to specify what
file the url is added to. This can be used to override the default
filename that is used when adding an url, which is based on the url.
Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as another
location of the file.
* addurl: Normalize badly encoded urls.
* addurl: Add --pathdepth option.
* rekey: New plumbing level command, can be used to change the keys used
for files en masse.
* Store web special remote url info in a more efficient location.
(Urls stored with this version will not be visible to older versions.)
* Deal with NFS problem that caused a failure to remove a directory
when removing content from the annex.
* Make a single location log commit after a remote has received or
dropped files. Uses a new "git-annex-shell commit" command when available.
* To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command
is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed
less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.
* configure: Check if ssh connection caching is supported by the installed
version of ssh and default annex.sshcaching accordingly.
* move --from, copy --from: Now 10 times faster when scanning to find
files in a remote on a local disk; rather than go through the location log
to see which files are present on the remote, it simply looks at the
disk contents directly."""]]
