* 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.

Hello,
I use the assistant to set up two repositories A and B synced using jabber. A third repository C on my server is used as rsync transfer. Syncing works fine between both repos when both are online.
But when either A or B is offline the sync does not happen when it comes online again, though the file was synced to C.
Is this because C is only a rsync repository and can't hold metadata? How can I achieve that the sync happens also when one of the repositories is offline?
I also tried using the static build of git annex on my server. It seemed to run fine but during the setup the assistant got an error about too many command line arguments. On A und B I use the ArchLinux AUR build (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-annex-standalone/), on C I use the static build. Could it be a version mismatch?
Thanks!
