+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."""]] \ No newline at end of file
