+News for git-annex 4.20131002:
+
+ The layout of gcrypt repositories has changed, and
+ if you created one you must manually upgrade it.
+ See /usr/share/doc/git-annex/html/upgrades/gcrypt.html
+
+git-annex 4.20131002 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+ * Note that the layout of gcrypt repositories has changed, and
+ if you created one you must manually upgrade it.
+ See http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/gcrypt/
+ * webapp: Support setting up and using encrypted git repositories on
+ any ssh server, as well as on rsync.net.
+ * git-annex-shell: Added support for operating inside gcrypt repositories.
+ * Disable receive.denyNonFastForwards when setting up a gcrypt special
+ remote, since gcrypt needs to be able to fast-forward the master branch.
+ * import: Preserve top-level directory structure.
+ * Use cryptohash rather than SHA for hashing when no external hash program
+ is available. This is a significant speedup for SHA256 on OSX, for
+ example.
+ * Added SKEIN256 and SKEIN512 backends.
+ * Android build redone from scratch, many dependencies updated,
+ and entire build can now be done using provided scripts.
+ * assistant: Clear the list of failed transfers when doing a full transfer
+ scan. This prevents repeated retries to download files that are not
+ available, or are not referenced by the current git tree.
+ * indirect, direct: Better behavior when a file is not owned by
+ the user running the conversion.
+ * add, import, assistant: Better preserve the mtime of symlinks,
+ when when adding content that gets deduplicated.
+ * Send a git-annex user-agent when downloading urls.
+ Overridable with --user-agent option.
+ (Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used.)
+ * webapp: Fixed a bug where when a new remote is added, one file
+ may fail to sync to or from it due to the transferrer process not
+ yet knowing about the new remote.
+ * OSX: Bundled gpg upgraded, now compatible with config files
+ written by MacGPG.
+ * assistant: More robust inotify handling; avoid crashing if a directory
+ cannot be read.
+ * Moved list of backends and remote types from status to version
+ command."""]] \ No newline at end of file
