-git-annex 4.20130909 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * initremote: Syntax change when setting up an encrypted special remote.
-     Now use keyid=$KEYID rather than the old encryption=$KEYID
-   * forget: New command, causes git-annex branch history to be forgotten
-     in a way that will spread to other clones of the repository.
-     (As long as they're running this version or newer of git-annex.)
-   * forget --drop-dead: Completely removes mentions of repositories that
-     have been marked as dead from the git-annex branch.
-   * sync, assistant: Force push of the git-annex branch. Necessary
-     to ensure it gets pushed to remotes after being rewritten by forget.
-   * Added gcrypt support. This combines a fully encrypted git
-     repository (using git-remote-gcrypt) with an encrypted git-annex special
-     remote.
-   * sync: Support syncing with gcrypt remotes.
-   * importfeed: Also ignore transient problems with downloading content
-     from feeds.
-   * Honor core.sharedrepository when receiving and adding files in direct
-     mode.
-   * enableremote: gpg keys can be removed from those a remote encrypts
-     to by passing "keyid-=$KEYID". keyid+= is also provided.
-     (Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
-   * Added encryption=pubkey scheme, which encrypts to public keys directly
-     rather than the hybrid approach. See documentation for advantages
-     and disadvantages, but encryption=hybrid is the recommended scheme still.
-     (Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
-   * Fix Feeds display in build flags.
-   * Remind user when annex-ignore is set for some remotes, if unable to
-     get or drop a file, possibly because it's on an ignored remote.
-   * gpg: Force --no-textmode in case the user has it turned on in config.
-   * webapp: Improve javascript's handling of longpolling connection
-     failures, by reloading the current page in this case.
-     Works around chromium behavior where ajax connections to urls
-     that were already accessed are denied after navigating back to
-     a previous page.
-   * Allow building without quvi support."""]]

+git-annex 5.20131118 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * Direct mode repositories now have core.bare=true set, to prevent
+     accidentally running git commands that try to operate on the work tree,
+     and so do the wrong thing in direct mode.
+   * annex.version is now set to 5 for direct mode repositories.
+     This upgrade is handled fully automatically, no need to run
+     git annex upgrade
+   * The "status" command has been renamed to "info", to allow
+     "git annex status" to be used in direct mode repositories, now that
+     "git status" won't work in them.
+   * The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by
+     git-annex, but it is passed along to every git command git-annex runs.
+   * watcher: Avoid loop when adding a file owned by someone else fails
+     in indirect mode because its permissions cannot be modified.
+   * webapp: Avoid encoding problems when displaying the daemon log file.
+   * webapp: Improve UI around remote that have no annex.uuid set,
+     either because setup of them is incomplete, or because the remote
+     git repository is not a git-annex repository.
+   * Include ssh-keygen in standalone bundle.
+   * Allow optionally configuring git-annex with -fEKG to enable awesome
+     remote monitoring interfaceat http://localhost:4242/
+   * Fix bug that caused bad information to be written to the git-annex branch
+     when running describe or other commands with a remote that has no uuid.
+   * Work around Android linker problem that had prevented git-annex from
+     running on Android 4.3 and 4.4.
+   * repair: Handle case where index file is corrupt, but all objects are ok.
+   * assistant: Notice on startup when the index file is corrupt, and
+     auto-repair.
+   * Fix direct mode merge bug when a direct mode file was deleted and replaced
+     with a directory. An ordering problem caused the directory to not get
+     created in this case.
+     Thanks to Tim for the test case.
+   * Direct mode .git/annex/objects directories are no longer left writable,
+     because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
+     which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.
+     Thanks to Tim for the test case.
+   * fsck: Fix up .git/annex/object directory permissions.
+   * Switched to the tasty test framework.
+   * Android: Adjust default .gitignore to ignore .thumbnails at any location
+     in the tree, not just at its top.
+   * webapp: Check annex.version."""]]
