* 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.

git-annex is available in recent versions of Fedora. Although it is
not currently a very recent version, it should work ok.
[status](http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=14145)
Should be as simple as: `yum install git-annex`
----
To install the latest version of git-annex on Fedora 18 and later, you can use `cabal`:
<pre>
# Install dependencies
sudo yum install libxml2-devel gnutls-devel libgsasl-devel ghc cabal-install happy alex libidn-devel
# Update the cabal list
cabal update
# Install c2hs, required by dependencies of git-annex, but not automatically installed
cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin c2hs
# Install git-annex
cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin git-annex
</pre>
----
Older version? Here's an installation recipe for Fedora 14 through 15.
<pre>
sudo yum install ghc cabal-install
git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ git-annex
cd git-annex
git checkout ghc7.0
cabal update
cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal configure
cabal build
cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin
</pre>
Note: You can't just use `cabal install git-annex`, because Fedora does
not yet ship ghc 7.4.
