* 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.

What excites me about GIT ANNEX is how it fundamentally tracks the
|
|
backup and availability of any data you own, and allows you to share
|
|
data with a large or small audience, ensuring that the data survives.

Seen on IRC:

<pre>
|
|
oh my god, git-annex is amazing
|
|
this is the revolution in fucking with gigantic piles of files that I've been waiting for
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
And then my own story: I have a ton of drives. I have a lot of servers. I
|
|
live in a cabin on **dialup** and often have 1 hour on broadband in a week
|
|
to get everything I need. Without git-annex, managing all this would not be
|
|
possible. It works perfectly for me, not a surprise since I wrote it, but
|
|
still, it's a different level of "perfect" than anything I could put
|
|
together before. --[[Joey]]
