-git-annex 5.20151208 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]

-   * 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."""]]

+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * annex.addsmallfiles: New option controlling what is done when
+     adding files not matching annex.largefiles.
+   * Fix reversion in lookupkey, contentlocation, and examinekey which
+     caused them to sometimes output side messages.
+   * webapp: Fix deletion of current repository directory.
+   * Added "nothing" to preferred content expression syntax.
+   * annex.largefiles can be configured in .gitattributes too;
+     this is particulary useful for v6 repositories, since the
+     .gitattributes configuration will apply in all clones of the
+     repository.
+   * Limit annex.largefiles parsing to the subset of preferred content
+     expressions that make sense in its context. So, not "standard"
+     or "lackingcopies", etc.
+   * annex.largefiles: Add support for mimetype=text/* etc, when git-annex
+     is linked with libmagic.
+   * matchexpression: Added --largefiles option to parse an annex.largefiles
+     expression.
+   * Brought back the dbus and xmpp build flags, so build from source can be
+     done without C libraries that may be hard to install.
+   * init: Fix bugs in submodule .git symlink fixup, that occurred when
+     initializing in a subdirectory of a submodule and a submodule of a
+     submodule.
+   * WebDAV: Set depth 1 in PROPFIND request, for better compatibility with
+     some servers. Thanks, wzhd.
+   * WebDAV: Remove a bogus trailing slash from the end of the url to the
+     temporary store location for a key. Thanks, wzhd.
+   * S3: Allow configuring with requeststyle=path to use path-style bucket
+     access instead of the default DNS-style access."""]]
