git-annex 5.20140227 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* metadata: Field names limited to alphanumerics and a few whitelisted
punctuation characters to avoid issues with views, etc.
* metadata: Field names are now case insensative.
* When constructing views, metadata is available about the location of the
file in the view's reference branch. Allows incorporating parts of the
directory hierarchy in a view.
For example `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` makes a view in the form
tag/showname.
* --metadata field=value can now use globs to match, and matches
case insensatively, the same as git annex view field=value does.
* annex.genmetadata can be set to make git-annex automatically set
metadata (year and month) when adding files.
* Make annex.web-options be used in several places that call curl.
* Fix handling of rsync remote urls containing a username,
including rsync.net.
* Preserve metadata when staging a new version of an annexed file.
* metadata: Support --json
* webapp: Fix creation of box.com and Amazon S3 and Glacier
repositories, broken in 5.20140221.
* webdav: When built with DAV 0.6.0, use the new DAV monad to avoid
locking files, which is not needed by git-annex's use of webdav, and
does not work on Box.com.
* webdav: Fix path separator bug when used on Windows.
* repair: Optimise unpacking of pack files, and avoid repeated error
messages about corrupt pack files.
* Add build dep on regex-compat to fix build on mipsel, which lacks
regex-tdfa.
* Disable test suite on sparc, which is missing optparse-applicative.
* Put non-object tmp files in .git/annex/misctmp, leaving .git/annex/tmp
for only partially transferred objects."""]]
