-git-annex 3.20130216 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Now uses the Haskell uuid library, rather than needing a uuid program.
-   * Now uses the Haskell Glob library, rather than pcre-light, avoiding
-     the need to install libpcre. Currently done only for Cabal or when
-     the Makefile is made to use -DWITH\_GLOB
-   * Android port now available (command-line only).
-   * New annex.crippledfilesystem setting, allows use of git-annex
-     repositories on FAT and even worse filesystems; avoiding use of
-     hard links and locked down permissions settings. (Support is incomplete.)
-   * init: Detect when the repository is on a filesystem that does not
-     support hard links, or symlinks, or unix permissions, and set
-     annex.crippledfilesystem, as well as annex.direct.
-   * add: Improved detection of files that are modified while being added.
-   * Fix a bug in direct mode, introduced in the previous release, where
-     if a file was dropped and then got back, it would be stored in indirect
-     mode."""]]

+   * initremote: Generates encryption keys with high quality entropy.
+     This can be disabled using --fast to get the old behavior.
+     The assistant still uses low-quality entropy when creating encrypted
+     remotes, to avoid delays. (Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
+   * Bugfix: Direct mode no longer repeatedly checksums duplicated files.
+   * assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of
+     gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub.
+     Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use
+     such keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard
+     ssh key names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/,
+     which gnome-keyring will not check.
+   * addurl: Bugfix: Did not properly add file in direct mode.
+   * assistant: Bug fix to avoid annexing the files that git uses
+     to stand in for symlinks on FAT and other filesystem not supporting
+     symlinks.
+   * Adjust preferred content expressions so that content in archive
+     directories is preferred until it has reached an archive or smallarchive
+     repository.
+   * webapp: New --listen= option allows running the webapp on one computer
+     and connecting to it from another. (Note: Does not yet use HTTPS.)
+   * Added annex.web-download-command setting.
+   * Added per-remote annex-rsync-transport option. (guilhem again)
+   * Ssh connection caching is now also used by rsync special remotes.
+     (guilhem yet again)
+   * The version number is now derived from git, unless built with
+     VERSION\_FROM\_CHANGELOG.
+   * assistant: Stop any transfers the assistant initiated on shutdown.
+   * assistant: Added sequence numbers to XMPP git push packets. (Not yet used.)
+   * addurl: Register transfer so the webapp can see it.
+   * addurl: Automatically retry downloads that fail, as long as some
+     additional content was downloaded.
+   * webapp: Much improved progress bar display for downloads from encrypted
+     remotes.
+   * Avoid using runghc, as that needs ghci.
+   * webapp: When a repository's group is changed, rescan for transfers.
+   * webapp: Added animations.
+   * webapp: Include the repository directory in the mangled hostname and
+     ssh key name, so that a locked down ssh key for one repository is not
+     re-used when setting up additional repositories on the same server.
+   * Fall back to internal url downloader when built without curl.
+   * fsck: Check content of direct mode files (only when the inode cache
+     thinks they are unmodified)."""]]
