News for git-annex 3.20110702:
The URL backend has been removed. Instead the new web remote can be used.
git-annex 3.20110702 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Now the web can be used as a special remote.
This feature replaces the old URL backend.
* addurl: New command to download an url and store it in the annex.
* Sped back up fsck, copy --from, and other commands that often
have to read a lot of information from the git-annex branch. Such
commands are now faster than they were before introduction of the
git-annex branch.
* Always ensure git-annex branch exists.
* Modify location log parser to allow future expansion.
* --force will cause add, etc, to operate on ignored files.
* Avoid mangling encoding when storing the description of repository
and other content.
* cabal can now be used to build git-annex. This is substantially
slower than using make, does not build or install documentation,
does not run the test suite, and is not particularly recommended,
but could be useful to some."""]]
