* webapp: Detect when upgrades are available, and upgrade if the user
desires.
(Only when git-annex is installed using the prebuilt binaries
from git-annex upstream, not from eg Debian.)
* assistant: Detect when the git-annex binary is modified or replaced,
and either prompt the user to restart the program, or automatically
restart it.
* annex.autoupgrade configures both the above upgrade behaviors.
* Added support for quvi 0.9. Slightly suboptimal due to limitations in its
interface compared with the old version.
* Bug fix: annex.version did not get set on automatic upgrade to v5 direct
mode repo, so the upgrade was performed repeatedly, slowing commands down.
* webapp: Fix bug that broke switching between local repositories
that use the new guarded direct mode.
* Android: Fix stripping of the git-annex binary.
* Android: Make terminal app show git-annex version number.
* Android: Re-enable XMPP support.
* reinject: Allow to be used in direct mode.
* Futher improvements to git repo repair. Has now been tested in tens
of thousands of intentionally damaged repos, and successfully
repaired them all.
* Allow use of --unused in bare repository.

The git-annex assistant creates a synchronised folder on each of your
|
|
OSX and Linux computers, Android devices, removable drives, and
|
|
cloud services. The contents of the folder are the same everywhere.
|
|
It's very easy to use, and has all the power of git and git-annex.
|
|
|
|

The git-annex assistant was [crowd funded on
|
|
Kickstarter](http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joeyh/git-annex-assistant-like-dropbox-but-with-your-own/).
|
|
[[/assistant/Thanks]] to all my backers. This kickstarter is now closed,
|
|
and there is a new home-made crowdfunding project to support the project
|
|
for 2013-2014 [here](https://campaign.joeyh.name/).
|
|
|
|
I blog about my work on git-annex and the assistant on a daily basis
|
|
in [[this_blog|/devblog]]. Follow along!
