Pushed out a release today. While I've somewhat ramped down activity this month with the Kickstarter period over and summer trips and events ongoing, looking over the changelog I still see a ton of improvements in the 20 days since the last release.

Been doing some work to make the assistant daemon be more nice. I don't want to nice the whole program, because that could make the web interface unresponsive. What I am able to do, thanks to Linux violating POSIX, is to nice certain expensive operations, including the startup scan and the daily sanity check. Also, I put in a call to ionice (when it's available) when git annex assistant --autostart is run, so the daemon's disk IO will be prioritized below other IO. Hope this keeps it out of your way while it does its job.
