+git-annex 4.20130802 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * dropunused behavior change: Now refuses to drop the last copy of a
+     file, unless you use the --force.
+     This was the last place in git-annex that could remove data referred
+     to by the git history, without being forced.
+     Like drop, dropunused checks remotes, and honors the global
+     annex.numcopies setting. (However, .gitattributes settings cannot
+     apply to unused files.)
+   * Fix inverted logic in last release's fix for data loss bug,
+     that caused git-annex sync on FAT or other crippled filesystems to add
+     symlink standin files to the annex.
+   * importfeed can be used to import files from podcast feeds.
+   * webapp: When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex
+     on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing
+     use of a different ssh key. That could result in unncessary password
+     prompts, or prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host.
+   * webapp: Improve handling of remotes whose setup has stalled.
+   * Add status message to XMPP presence tag, to identify to others that
+     the client is a git-annex client. Closes: #[717652](http://bugs.debian.org/717652)
+   * webapp: When creating a repository on a removable drive, set
+     core.fsyncobjectfiles, to help prevent data loss when the drive is yanked.
+   * Always build with -threaded, to avoid a deadlock when communicating with
+     gpg.
+   * unused: No longer shows as unused tmp files that are actively being
+     transferred.
+   * assistant: Fix NetWatcher to not sync with remotes that have
+     remote.<name>.annex-sync set to false.
+   * assistant: Fix deadlock that could occur when adding a lot of files
+     at once in indirect mode.
+   * assistant: Fix bug that caused it to stall when adding a very large
+     number of files at once (around 5 thousand).
+   * OSX: Make git-annex-webapp run in the background, so that the app icon
+     can be clicked on the open a new webapp when the assistant is already
+     running.
+   * Improve test suite on Windows; now tests git annex sync.
+   * Fix a few bugs involving filenames that are at or near the filesystem's
+     maximum filename length limit.
+   * find: Avoid polluting stdout with progress messages. Closes: #[718186](http://bugs.debian.org/718186)
+   * Escape ':' in file/directory names to avoid it being treated
+     as a pathspec by some git commands. Closes: #[718185](http://bugs.debian.org/718185)
+   * Slow and ugly work around for bug #718517 in git 1.8.4~rc0, which broke
+     git-cat-file --batch for filenames containing spaces.
+     (Will be reverted after next git pre-release fixes the problem.)"""]]
