+git-annex 5.20150727 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+ * Fix bug that prevented uploads to remotes using new-style chunking
+ from resuming after the last successfully uploaded chunk.
+ * Switched option parsing to use optparse-applicative. This was a very large
+ and invasive change, and may have caused some minor behavior changes to
+ edge cases of option parsing. (For example, the metadata command no
+ longer accepts the combination of --get and --set, which never actually
+ worked.)
+ * Bash completion file is now included in the git-annex source tree,
+ and installed into Debian package (and any other packages built using make
+ install). This bash completion is generated by the option parser, so it
+ covers all commands, all options, and will never go out of date!
+ * As well as tab completing "git-annex" commands, "git annex" will also tab
+ complete. However, git's bash completion script needs a patch,
+ which I've submitted, for this to work prefectly.
+ * version --raw now works when run outside a git repository.
+ * assistant --startdelay now works when run outside a git repository.
+ * dead now accepts multiple --key options.
+ * addurl now accepts --prefix and --suffix options to adjust the
+ filenames used.
+ * sync --content: Fix bug that caused files to be uploaded to eg,
+ more archive remotes than wanted copies, only to later be dropped
+ to satisfy the preferred content settings.
+ * importfeed: Improve detection of known items whose url has changed,
+ and avoid adding redundant files. Where before this only looked at
+ permalinks in rss feeds, it now also looks at guids.
+ * importfeed: Look at not only permalinks, but now also guids
+ to identify previously downloaded files.
+ * Webapp: Now features easy setup of git-annex repositories on gitlab.com.
+ * Adjust debian build deps: The webapp can now build on arm64, s390x
+ and hurd-i386. WebDAV support is also available on those architectures.
+ * Debian package now maintained by Richard Hartmann.
+ * Support building without persistent database on for systems that
+ lack TH. This removes support for incremental fsck."""]] \ No newline at end of file
