-git-annex 5.20140127 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * sync --content: New option that makes the content of annexed files be
-     transferred. Similar to the assistant, this honors any configured
-     preferred content expressions.
-   * Remove --json option from commands not supporting it.
-   * status: Support --json.
-   * list: Fix specifying of files to list.
-   * Allow --all to be mixed with matching options like --copies and --in
-     (but not --include and --exclude).
-   * numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
-     clones of a repository.
-   * The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
-     command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
-     git configs will be ignored.
-   * assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
-   * Add lackingcopies, approxlackingcopies, and unused to
-     preferred content expressions.
-   * Client, transfer, incremental backup, and archive repositories
-     now want to get content that does not yet have enough copies.
-   * Client, transfer, and source repositories now do not want to retain
-     unused file contents.
-   * assistant: Checks daily for unused file contents, and when possible
-     moves them to a repository (such as a backup repository) that
-     wants to retain them.
-   * assistant: annex.expireunused can be configured to cause unused
-     file contents to be deleted after some period of time.
-   * webapp: Nudge user to see if they want to expire old unused file
-     contents when a lot of them seem to be piling up in the repository.
-   * repair: Check git version at run time.
-   * assistant: Run the periodic git gc in batch mode.
-   * added annex.secure-erase-command config option.
-   * Optimise non-bare http remotes; no longer does a 404 to the wrong
-     url every time before trying the right url. Needs annex-bare to be
-     set to false, which is done when initially probing the uuid of a
-     http remote.
-   * webapp: After upgrading a git repository to git-annex, fix
-     bug that made it temporarily not be synced with.
-   * whereis: Support --all.
-   * All commands that support --all also support a --key option,
-     which limits them to acting on a single key."""]]

+git-annex 5.20140227 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * metadata: Field names limited to alphanumerics and a few whitelisted
+     punctuation characters to avoid issues with views, etc.
+   * metadata: Field names are now case insensative.
+   * When constructing views, metadata is available about the location of the
+     file in the view's reference branch. Allows incorporating parts of the
+     directory hierarchy in a view.
+     For example `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` makes a view in the form
+     tag/showname.
+   * --metadata field=value can now use globs to match, and matches
+     case insensatively, the same as git annex view field=value does.
+   * annex.genmetadata can be set to make git-annex automatically set
+     metadata (year and month) when adding files.
+   * Make annex.web-options be used in several places that call curl.
+   * Fix handling of rsync remote urls containing a username,
+     including rsync.net.
+   * Preserve metadata when staging a new version of an annexed file.
+   * metadata: Support --json
+   * webapp: Fix creation of box.com and Amazon S3 and Glacier
+     repositories, broken in 5.20140221.
+   * webdav: When built with DAV 0.6.0, use the new DAV monad to avoid
+     locking files, which is not needed by git-annex's use of webdav, and
+     does not work on Box.com.
+   * webdav: Fix path separator bug when used on Windows.
+   * repair: Optimise unpacking of pack files, and avoid repeated error
+     messages about corrupt pack files.
+   * Add build dep on regex-compat to fix build on mipsel, which lacks
+     regex-tdfa.
+   * Disable test suite on sparc, which is missing optparse-applicative.
+   * Put non-object tmp files in .git/annex/misctmp, leaving .git/annex/tmp
+     for only partially transferred objects."""]]
