+git-annex 6.20161118 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+ * git-annex.cabal: Loosen bounds on persistent to allow 2.5, which
+ on Debian has been patched to work with esqueleto.
+ This may break cabal's resolver on non-Debian systems;
+ if so, either use stack to build, or run cabal with
+ --constraint='persistent ==2.2.4.1'
+ Hopefully this mess with esqueleto will be resolved soon.
+ * sync: Pass --allow-unrelated-histories to git merge when used with git
+ git 2.9.0 or newer. This makes merging a remote into a freshly created
+ direct mode repository work the same as it works in indirect mode.
+ * Avoid backtraces on expected failures when built with ghc 8;
+ only use backtraces for unexpected errors.
+ * fsck --all --from was checking the existence and content of files
+ in the local repository, rather than on the special remote. Oops.
+ * Linux arm standalone: Build with a 32kb page size, which is needed
+ on several ARM NAS devices, including Drobo 5N, and WD NAS."""]] \ No newline at end of file
