-git-annex 4.20130227 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * annex.version is now set to 4 for direct mode repositories.
-   * Should now fully support git repositories with core.symlinks=false;
-     always using git's pseudosymlink files in such repositories.
-   * webapp: Allow creating repositories on filesystems that lack support for
-     symlinks.
-   * webapp: Can now add a new local repository, and make it sync with
-     the main local repository.
-   * Android: Bundle now includes openssh.
-   * Android: Support ssh connection caching.
-   * Android: Assistant is fully working. (But no webapp yet.)
-   * Direct mode: Support filesystems like FAT which can change their inodes
-     each time they are mounted.
-   * Direct mode: Fix support for adding a modified file.
-   * Avoid passing -p to rsync, to interoperate with crippled filesystems.
-     Closes: #[700282](http://bugs.debian.org/700282)
-   * Additional GIT\_DIR support bugfixes. May actually work now.
-   * webapp: Display any error message from git init if it fails to create
-     a repository.
-   * Fix a reversion in matching globs introduced in the last release,
-     where "*" did not match files inside subdirectories. No longer uses
-     the Glob library.
-   * copy: Update location log when no copy was performed, if the location
-     log was out of date.
-   * Makefile now builds using cabal, taking advantage of cabal's automatic
-     detection of appropriate build flags.
-   * test: The test suite is now built into the git-annex binary, and can
-     be run at any time."""]]

+git-annex 4.20130501 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * sync, assistant: Behavior changes: Sync with remotes that have
+     annex-ignore set, so that git remotes on servers without git-annex
+     installed can be used to keep clients' git repos in sync.
+   * assistant: Work around misfeature in git 1.8.2 that makes
+     `git commit --alow-empty -m ""` run an editor.
+   * sync: Bug fix, avoid adding to the annex the
+     dummy symlinks used on crippled filesystems.
+   * Add public repository group.
+     (And inpreferreddir to preferred content expressions.)
+   * webapp: Can now set up Internet Archive repositories.
+   * S3: Dropping content from the Internet Archive doesn't work, but
+     their API indicates it does. Always refuse to drop from there.
+   * Automatically register public urls for files uploaded to the
+     Internet Archive.
+   * To enable an existing special remote, the new enableremote command
+     must be used. The initremote command now is used only to create
+     new special remotes.
+   * initremote: If two existing remotes have the same name,
+     prefer the one with a higher trust level.
+   * assistant: Improved XMPP protocol to better support multiple repositories
+     using the same XMPP account. Fixes bad behavior when sharing with a friend
+     when you or the friend have multiple reposotories on an XMPP account.
+     Note that XMPP pairing with your own devices still pairs with all
+     repositories using your XMPP account.
+   * assistant: Fix bug that could cause incoming pushes to not get
+     merged into the local tree. Particularly affected XMPP pushes.
+   * webapp: Display some additional information about a repository on
+     its edit page.
+   * webapp: Install FDO desktop menu file when started in standalone mode.
+   * webapp: Don't default to making repository in cwd when started
+     from within a directory containing a git-annex file (eg, standalone
+     tarball directory).
+   * Detect systems that have no user name set in GECOS, and also
+     don't have user.name set in git config, and put in a workaround
+     so that commits to the git-annex branch (and the assistant)
+     will still succeed despite git not liking the system configuration.
+   * webapp: When told to add a git repository on a remote server, and
+     the repository already exists as a non-bare repository, use it,
+     rather than initializing a bare repository in the same directory.
+   * direct, indirect: Refuse to do anything when the assistant
+     or git-annex watch daemon is running.
+   * assistant: When built with git before 1.8.0, use `git remote rm`
+     to delete a remote. Newer git uses `git remote remove`.
+   * rmurl: New command, removes one of the recorded urls for a file.
+   * Detect when the remote is broken like bitbucket is, and exits 0 when
+     it fails to run git-annex-shell.
+   * assistant: Several improvements to performance and behavior when
+     performing bulk adds of a large number of files (tens to hundreds
+     of thousands).
+   * assistant: Sanitize XMPP presence information logged for debugging.
+   * webapp: Now automatically fills in any creds used by an existing remote
+     when creating a new remote of the same type. Done for Internet Archive,
+     S3, Glacier, and Box.com remotes.
+   * Store an annex-uuid file in the bucket when setting up a new S3 remote.
+   * Support building with DAV 0.4."""]]
