Joey Hess b6d46c212e git-annex (5.20140402) unstable; urgency=medium
* unannex, uninit: Avoid committing after every file is unannexed,
    for massive speedup.
  * --notify-finish switch will cause desktop notifications after each
    file upload/download/drop completes
    (using the dbus Desktop Notifications Specification)
  * --notify-start switch will show desktop notifications when each
    file upload/download starts.
  * webapp: Automatically install Nautilus integration scripts
    to get and drop files.
  * tahoe: Pass -d parameter before subcommand; putting it after
    the subcommand no longer works with tahoe-lafs version 1.10.
    (Thanks, Alberto Berti)
  * forget --drop-dead: Avoid removing the dead remote from the trust.log,
    so that if git remotes for it still exist anywhere, git annex info
    will still know it's dead and not show it.
  * git-annex-shell: Make configlist automatically initialize
    a remote git repository, as long as a git-annex branch has
    been pushed to it, to simplify setup of remote git repositories,
    including via gitolite.
  * add --include-dotfiles: New option, perhaps useful for backups.
  * Version 5.20140227 broke creation of glacier repositories,
    not including the datacenter and vault in their configuration.
    This bug is fixed, but glacier repositories set up with the broken
    version of git-annex need to have the datacenter and vault set
    in order to be usable. This can be done using git annex enableremote
    to add the missing settings. For details, see
    http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_glacier/
  * Added required content configuration.
  * assistant: Improve ssh authorized keys line generated in local pairing
    or for a remote ssh server to set environment variables in an
    alternative way that works with the non-POSIX fish shell, as well
    as POSIX shells.

Late last night, I successfully built the full webapp for Android!
That was with several manual modifications to the generated code, which I
still need to automate. And I need to set up the autobuilder properly
still. And I need to find a way to make the webapp open Android's web browser
to URL. So it'll be a while yet until a package is available
to try. But what a milestone!
The point I was stuck on all day yesterday was generated code that
looked like this:
[[!format haskell """
(toHtml
(\ u_a2ehE -> urender_a2ehD u_a2ehE []
(CloseAlert aid)))));
"""]]
That just couldn't type check at all. Most puzzling. My best guess is that
`u_a2ehE` is the dictionary GHC passes internally to make a typeclass work,
which somehow leaked out and became visible. Although
I can't rule out that I may have messed something up in my build environment.
The EvilSplicer has a hack in it that finds such code and converts it to
something like this:
[[!format haskell """
(toHtml
(flip urender_a2ehD []
(CloseAlert aid)))));
"""]]
I wrote some more about the process of the Android port in my personal blog:

Release day today. The OSX builds are both not available yet for this
release, hopefully will come out soon.
