+git-annex 5.20140817 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * New chunk= option to chunk files stored in special remotes.
+     Supported by: directory, S3, webdav, gcrypt, rsync, and all external
+     and hook special remotes.
+   * Partially transferred files are automatically resumed when using
+     chunked remotes!
+   * The old chunksize= option is deprecated. Do not use for new remotes.
+   * Legacy code for directory remotes using the old chunksize= option
+     will keep them working, but more slowly than before.
+   * webapp: Automatically install Konqueror integration scripts
+     to get and drop files.
+   * repair: Removing bad objects could leave fsck finding no more
+     unreachable objects, but some branches no longer accessible.
+     Fix this, including support for fixing up repositories that
+     were incompletely repaired before.
+   * Fix cost calculation for non-encrypted remotes.
+   * Display exception message when a transfer fails due to an exception.
+   * WebDAV: Sped up by avoiding making multiple http connections
+     when storing a file.
+   * WebDAV: Avoid buffering whole file in memory when uploading and
+     downloading.
+   * WebDAV: Dropped support for DAV before 1.0.
+   * testremote: New command to test uploads/downloads to a remote.
+   * Dropping an object from a bup special remote now deletes the git branch
+     for the object, although of course the object's content cannot be deleted
+     due to the nature of bup.
+   * unlock: Better error handling; continue past files that are not available
+     or cannot be unlocked due to disk space, and try all specified files.
+   * Windows: Now uses actual inode equivilants in new direct mode
+     repositories, for safer detection of eg, renaming of files with the same
+     size and mtime.
+   * direct: Fix ugly warning messages.
+   * WORM backend: When adding a file in a subdirectory, avoid including the
+     subdirectory in the key name.
+   * S3, Glacier, WebDAV: Fix bug that prevented accessing the creds
+     when the repository was configured with encryption=shared embedcreds=yes.
+   * direct: Avoid leaving file content in misctemp if interrupted.
+   * git-annex-shell sendkey: Don't fail if a remote asks for a key to be sent
+     that already has a transfer lock file indicating it's being sent to that
+     remote. The remote may have moved between networks, or reconnected.
+   * Switched from the old haskell HTTP library to http-conduit."""]]
