+git-annex 3.20111203 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * The VFAT filesystem on recent versions of Linux, when mounted with
+     shortname=mixed, does not get along well with git-annex's mixed case
+     .git/annex/objects hash directories. To avoid this problem, new content
+     is now stored in all-lowercase hash directories. Except for non-bare
+     repositories which would be a pain to transition and cannot be put on FAT.
+     (Old mixed-case hash directories are still tried for backwards
+     compatibility.)
+   * Flush json output, avoiding a buffering problem that could result in
+     doubled output.
+   * Avoid needing haskell98 and other fixes for new ghc. Thanks, Mark Wright.
+   * Bugfix: dropunused did not drop keys with two spaces in their name.
+   * Support for storing .git/annex on a different device than the rest of the
+     git repository.
+   * --inbackend can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
+     whose content is stored using a specified key-value backend.
+   * dead: A command which says that a repository is gone for good
+     and you don't want git-annex to mention it again."""]]
