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.

As I prepare to dive back into development, now is a good time to review
what I've built so far, and how well I'm keeping up with my planned
[[roadmap|assistant]].
I started working two and a half months ago, so am nearing the end of
the three months I originally asked to be funded for on Kickstarter.
I've built much of what I planned to build in the first three months --
[[inotify]] is done (and kqueue is basically working, but needs scalability
work), local [[syncing]] is done, the [[webapp]] works, and I've built some
of the first [[configurators]]. It's all functional in a narrow use case
involving syncing to removable drives.
[[progressbars]] still need to be dealt with, and network syncing needs to
be revisited soon, so that I can start building easy configurators for
further use cases, like using the cloud, or another machine on the local
network.
I think I'm a little behind my original schedule, but not too bad,
and at the same time, I think I've built things rather more solidly than I
expected them to be at this point. I'm particularly happy with how well
the inotify code works, no matter what is thrown at it, and how nice
the UI in the webapp is shaping up to be.
----
I also need to get started on fulfilling my Kickstarter rewards, and
I was happy to spend some time in the airport working on the main
blocker toward that, a lack of a scalable git-annex logo, which is needed
for printing on swag.
Turns out that inkscape has some amazing bitmap tracing capabilities.
I was able to come up with this scalable logo in short order, it
actually took longer to add back the colors, as the tracer generated a
black and white version.
With that roadblock out of the way, I am moving toward ordering large
quantities of usb drives, etc.
