-git-annex 6.20170214 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Increase default cost for p2p remotes from 200 to 1000.
-     This makes git-annex prefer transferring data from special
-     remotes when possible.
-   * Remove -j short option for --json-progress; that option was already
-     taken for --json.
-   * vicfg: Include the numcopies configuation.
-   * config: New command for storing configuration in the git-annex branch.
-   * annex.autocommit can be configured via git-annex config, to control
-     the default behavior in all clones of a repository.
-   * New annex.synccontent config setting, which can be set to true to make
-     git annex sync default to --content. This may become the default at
-     some point in the future. As well as being configuable by git config,
-     it can be configured by git-annex config to control the default
-     behavior in all clones of a repository.
-   * stack.yaml: Update to lts-7.18.
-   * Some optimisations to string splitting code.
-   * unused: When large files are checked right into git, avoid buffering
-     their contents in memory.
-   * unused: Improved memory use significantly when there are a lot
-     of differences between branches.
-   * Wormhole pairing will start to provide an appid to wormhole on
-     2021-12-31. An appid can't be provided now because Debian stable is going
-     to ship a older version of git-annex that does not provide an appid.
-     Assumption is that by 2021-12-31, this version of git-annex will be
-     shipped in a Debian stable release. If that turns out to not be the
-     case, this change will need to be cherry-picked into the git-annex in
-     Debian stable, or its wormhole pairing will break.
-   * Fix build with aws 0.16. Thanks, aristidb.
-   * assistant: Make --autostart --foreground wait for the children it
-     starts. Before, the --foreground was ignored when autostarting.
-   * initremote: When a uuid= parameter is passed, use the specified
-     UUID for the new special remote, instead of generating a UUID.
-     This can be useful in some situations, eg when the same data can be
-     accessed via two different special remote backends.
-   * import: Changed how --deduplicate, --skip-duplicates, and
-     --clean-duplicates determine if a file is a duplicate.
-     Before, only content known to be present somewhere was considered
-     a duplicate. Now, any content that has been annexed before will be
-     considered a duplicate, even if all annexed copies of the data have
-     been lost.
-     Note that --clean-duplicates and --deduplicate still check
-     numcopies, so won't delete duplicate files unless there's an annexed
-     copy.
-   * import: --deduplicate and --skip-duplicates were implemented
-     inneficiently; they unncessarily hashed each file twice. They have
-     been improved to only hash once.
-   * import: Added --reinject-duplicates.
-   * Added git template directory to Linux standalone tarball and OSX
-     app bundle.
-   * Improve pid locking code to work on filesystems that don't support hard
-     links.
-   * S3: Fix check of uuid file stored in bucket, which was not working.
-   * Work around sqlite's incorrect handling of umask when creating
-     databases."""]]

+git-annex 6.20170510 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * When a http remote does not expose an annex.uuid config, only warn
+     about it once, not every time git-annex is run.
+   * multicast: New command, uses uftp to multicast annexed files, for eg
+     a classroom setting.
+   * Added remote.<name>.annex-push and remote.<name>.annex-pull
+     which can be useful to make remotes that don't get fully synced with
+     local changes.
+   * Disable git-annex's support for GIT\_SSH and GIT\_SSH\_COMMAND, unless
+     GIT\_ANNEX\_USE\_GIT\_SSH=1 is also set in the environment. This is
+     necessary because as feared, the extra -n parameter that git-annex
+     passes breaks uses of these environment variables that expect exactly
+     the parameters that git passes.
+   * enableremote: When enabling a non-special remote, param=value
+     parameters can't be used, so error out if any are provided.
+   * enableremote: Fix re-enabling of special remotes that have a git
+     url, so that eg, encryption key changes take effect. They were silently
+     ignored, a reversion introduced in 6.20160527.
+   * gcrypt: Support re-enabling to change eg, encryption parameters.
+     This was never supported before.
+   * git annex add -u now supported, analagous to git add -u
+   * version: Added "dependency versions" line.
+   * Keys marked as dead are now skipped by --all.
+   * annex.backend is the new name for what was annex.backends, and takes
+     a single key-value backend, rather than the unncessary and confusing
+     list. The old option still works if set."""]]
