git-annex (7.20181026) upstream; urgency=medium
Repository version 7 is now available. v6 repositories will automatically
upgrade to v7. v5 repositories are still supported and will not be
automatically upgraded yet.
Direct mode is deprecated, and upgrading direct mode repositories to v7 is
encouraged, unless they need to remain usable by older versions of git-annex.
Just run `git annex upgrade`.
git-annex will no longer initialize new repositories on crippled filesystems
using direct mode.

git-annex (6.20180626) upstream; urgency=high
A security fix has changed git-annex to refuse to download content from
some special remotes when the content cannot be verified with a hash check.
In particular URL and WORM keys stored on such remotes won't be downloaded.
See the documentation of the annex.security.allow-unverified-downloads
configuration for how to deal with this if it affects your files.
A security fix has changed git-annex to only support http, https, and ftp
URL schemes by default. You can enable other URL schemes, at your own risk,
using annex.security.allowed-url-schemes.
A related security fix prevents git-annex from connecting to http
servers (and proxies) on localhost or private networks. This can
be overridden, at your own risk, using annex.security.allowed-http-addresses.
Setting annex.web-options no longer is enough to make curl be used,
and youtube-dl is also no longer used by default. See the
documentation of annex.security.allowed-http-addresses for
details and how to enable them.
The annex.web-download-command configuration has been removed,
use annex.web-options instead.

Note that, due to not using rsync to transfer files over ssh
any longer, permissions and other file metadata of annexed files
will no longer be preserved when copying them to and from ssh remotes.
Other remotes never supported preserving that information, so
this is not considered a regression.

git-annex (6.20170228) upstream; urgency=medium
This version of git-annex has mitigations for SHA1 hash collision
problems.
A new annex.securehashesonly configuration, when used in combination with
signed git commits, avoids potential hash collision problems in git-annex
repositories. For details, see this web page:

git-annex (6.20170101) upstream; urgency=medium
XMPP support has been removed from the assistant in this release.
If your repositories used XMPP to keep in sync, that will no longer
work, and you should enable some other remote to keep them in sync.
A ssh server is one way, or use the new Tor pairing feature.

git-annex (4.20131002) upstream; urgency=low
The layout of gcrypt repositories has changed, and
if you created one you must manually upgrade it.
See /usr/share/doc/git-annex/html/upgrades/gcrypt.html

git-annex (3.20120123) upstream; urgency=low
There was a bug in the handling of directory special remotes that
could cause partial file contents to be stored in them. If you use
a directory special remote, you should fsck it, to avoid potential
data loss.
Example: git annex fsck --from mydirectory

git-annex (3.20110624) upstream; urgency=low
There has been another change to the git-annex data store.
Use `git annex upgrade` to migrate your repositories to the new
layout. See <http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/> or
/usr/share/doc/git-annex/html/upgrades.html
The significant change this time is that the .git-annex/ directory
is gone; instead there is a git-annex branch that is automatically
maintained by git-annex, and encapsulates all its state nicely out
of your way.
You should make sure you include the git-annex branch when
git pushing and pulling.

git-annex (0.20110316) upstream; urgency=low
This version reorganises the layout of git-annex's files in your repository.
There is an upgrade process to convert a repository from the old git-annex
to this version. See <http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/> or
/usr/share/doc/git-annex/html/upgrades.html
