+News for git-annex 3.20110702:
+
+ The URL backend has been removed. Instead the new web remote can be used.
+
+git-annex 3.20110702 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+ * Now the web can be used as a special remote.
+ This feature replaces the old URL backend.
+ * addurl: New command to download an url and store it in the annex.
+ * Sped back up fsck, copy --from, and other commands that often
+ have to read a lot of information from the git-annex branch. Such
+ commands are now faster than they were before introduction of the
+ git-annex branch.
+ * Always ensure git-annex branch exists.
+ * Modify location log parser to allow future expansion.
+ * --force will cause add, etc, to operate on ignored files.
+ * Avoid mangling encoding when storing the description of repository
+ and other content.
+ * cabal can now be used to build git-annex. This is substantially
+ slower than using make, does not build or install documentation,
+ does not run the test suite, and is not particularly recommended,
+ but could be useful to some."""]] \ No newline at end of file
