* 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.

If your Linux distribution does not have git-annex packaged up for you,
|
|
you can either build it [[fromscratch]], or you can use a handy
|
|
prebuilt tarball of the most recent release.
|
|
|
|
This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It does not depend
|
|
on anything except for glibc.
|
|
|
|
[download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/)
|
|
|
|
To use, just unpack the tarball, `cd git-annex.linux` and run `./runshell`
|
|
-- this sets up an environment where you can use `git annex`, as well
|
|
as everything else included in the bundle.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can unpack the tarball, and add the directory to your
|
|
`PATH`. This lets you use `git annex`, without overriding your system's
|
|
own versions of git, etc.
|
|
|
|
Warning: This is a last resort. Most Linux users should instead
|
|
[[install]] git-annex from their distribution of choice.

Eskild Hustvedt has contributed a

script to manage keeping up to date with new releases using the standalone

|
build.
