git-annex 4.20131002 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Note that the layout of gcrypt repositories has changed, and
if you created one you must manually upgrade it.
See http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/gcrypt/
* webapp: Support setting up and using encrypted git repositories on
any ssh server, as well as on rsync.net.
* git-annex-shell: Added support for operating inside gcrypt repositories.
* Disable receive.denyNonFastForwards when setting up a gcrypt special
remote, since gcrypt needs to be able to fast-forward the master branch.
* import: Preserve top-level directory structure.
* Use cryptohash rather than SHA for hashing when no external hash program
is available. This is a significant speedup for SHA256 on OSX, for
example.
* Added SKEIN256 and SKEIN512 backends.
* Android build redone from scratch, many dependencies updated,
and entire build can now be done using provided scripts.
* assistant: Clear the list of failed transfers when doing a full transfer
scan. This prevents repeated retries to download files that are not
available, or are not referenced by the current git tree.
* indirect, direct: Better behavior when a file is not owned by
the user running the conversion.
* add, import, assistant: Better preserve the mtime of symlinks,
when when adding content that gets deduplicated.
* Send a git-annex user-agent when downloading urls.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
(Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used.)
* webapp: Fixed a bug where when a new remote is added, one file
may fail to sync to or from it due to the transferrer process not
yet knowing about the new remote.
* OSX: Bundled gpg upgraded, now compatible with config files
written by MacGPG.
* assistant: More robust inotify handling; avoid crashing if a directory
cannot be read.
* Moved list of backends and remote types from status to version
command."""]]
