* 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.

## first run
|
|
|
|
To get started with the git-annex assistant, just pick it from
|
|
your system's list of applications.
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
It'll prompt you to set up a folder:
|
|
|
|
[[!img assistant/makerepo.png]]
|
|
|
|
Then any changes you make to its folder will automatically be committed to
|
|
git, and synced to repositories on other computers. You can use the
|
|
interface to add repositories and control the git-annex assistant.

## starting on boot
|
|
|
|
The git-annex assistant will automatically be started when you log in to
|
|
desktop environments like Mac OS X, Gnome, XFCE, and KDE, and the menu item
|
|
shown above can be used to open the webapp. On other systems, you may need
|
|
to start it by hand.
|
|
|
|
To start the webapp, run `git annex webapp` at the command line.
|
|
|
|
To start the assistant without opening the webapp,
|
|
you can run the command "git annex assistant --autostart". This is a
|
|
good thing to configure your system to run automatically when you log in.
