-git-annex 6.20160808 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * metadata --json output format has changed, adding a inner json object
-     named "fields" which contains only the fields and their values.
-     This should be easier to parse than the old format, which mixed up
-     metadata fields with other keys in the json object.
-     Any consumers of the old format will need to be updated.
-   * Added metadata --batch option, which allows getting, setting, deleting,
-     and modifying metadata for multiple files/keys.
-   * Added --branch option to copy, drop, fsck, get, metadata, mirror, move,
-     and whereis commands. This option makes git-annex operate on files that
-     are included in a specified branch (or other treeish).
-   * git-annex.cabal: Temporarily limit to http-conduit <2.2.0
-     since aws 0.14.0 is not compatible with the newer version.
-   * git-annex.cabal: Temporarily limit to persistent <2.5
-     since esqueleto 2.4.3 is not compatible with the newer version.
-   * Removed dependency on json library; all JSON is now handled by aeson.
-   * When built with uuid-1.3.12, generate more random UUIDs than before.
-     (However, this did not impact git-annex much, so a hard depedency has
-     not been added on uuid-1.3.12.)
-   * info: When run on a file now includes an indication of whether
-     the content is present locally.
-   * get, move, copy, mirror: Added --failed switch which retries
-     failed copies/moves.
-   * Re-enable accumulating transfer failure log files for command-line
-     actions (disabled in 5.20150522), and remove the log files after
-     successful transfers."""]]

+   * lock, smudge: Fix edge cases where data loss could occur in v6 mode
+     when the keys database was not populated.
+   * upgrade: Handle upgrade to v6 when the repository already contains
+     v6 unlocked files whose content is already present.
+   * Improve style of offline html build of website.
+   * importfeed: Drop URL parameters from file extension.
+     Thanks, James MacMahon.
+   * Assistant, repair: Improved filtering out of git fsck lines about
+     duplicate file entries in tree objects.
+   * test: Deal with gpg-agent behavior change that broke the test suite.
+   * Improve ssh socket cleanup code to skip over the cruft that
+     NFS sometimes puts in a directory when a file is being deleted.
+   * If a transfer fails for some reason, but some data managed to be sent,
+     the transfer will be retried. (The assistant already did this.)
+   * Run ssh with ServerAliveInterval 60, so that stalled transfers will
+     be noticed within about 3 minutes.
+     (Any setting in your ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh/ssh\_config
+     overrides this.)"""]]
