-git-annex 5.20150930 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Added new linux standalone "ancient" build to support kernels
-     like 2.6.32.
-   * info: Don't allow use in a non-git-annex repository, since it
-     uses the git-annex branch and would create it if it were missing.
-   * assistant: When updating ~/.ssh/config, preserve any symlinks.
-   * webapp: Remove the "disable remote" feature from the UI.
-   * S3: When built with aws-0.13.0, supports using more storage classes.
-     In particular, storageclass=STANDARD\_IA to use Amazon's
-     new Infrequently Accessed storage, and storageclass=NEARLINE
-     to use Google's NearLine storage.
-   * Improve ~/.ssh/config modification code to not add trailing spaces
-     to lines it cannot parse.
-   * Fix a crash at direct mode merge time when .git/index doesn't exist
-     yet. Triggered by eg, git-annex sync --no-commit in a fresh clone of
-     a repository.
-   * status: Show added but not yet committed files.
-   * Added stack.yaml to support easy builds from source with stack."""]]

+git-annex 5.20151208 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * Build with -j1 again to get reproducible build.
+   * Display progress meter in -J mode when copying from a local git repo,
+     to a local git repo, and from a remote git repo.
+   * Display progress meter in -J mode when downloading from the web.
+   * map: Improve display of git remotes with non-ssh urls, including http
+     and gcrypt.
+   * When core.sharedRepository is set, annex object files are not made mode
+     444, since that prevents a user other than the file owner from locking
+     them. Instead, a mode such as 664 is used in this case.
+   * tahoe: Include tahoe capabilities in whereis display.
+   * import: Changed to honor annex.largefiles settings.
+   * addurl, importfeed: Changed to honor annex.largefiles settings,
+     when the content of the url is downloaded. (Not when using --fast or
+     --relaxed.)
+   * webapp: Fix bugs that could result in a relative path such as "."
+     being written to ~/.config/git-annex/autostart, and ignore any such
+     relative paths in the file.
+     This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
+   * dropunused: Make more robust when trying to drop an object that has
+     already been dropped.
+   * Fix reversion in handling of long filenames, particularly when using
+     addurl/importfeed, which was introduced in the previous release."""]]
