-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."""]]

+git-annex 6.20171003 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * webdav: Improve error message for failed request to include the request
+     method and path.
+   * metadata: Added --remove-all.
+   * Warn when metadata is inherited from a previous version of a file,
+     to avoid the user being surprised in cases where that behavior is not
+     desired or expected.
+   * sync: Added --cleanup, which removes local and remote synced/ branches.
+   * external: When the external special remote program crashed, a newline
+     could be output, which messed up the expected output for --batch mode.
+   * external: Avoid checking EXPORTSUPPORTED for special remotes that are
+     not configured to use exports.
+   * test: Fix reversion that made it only run inside a git repository.
+   * copy, move: Behave same with --fast when sending to remotes located
+     on a local disk as when sending to other remotes.
+   * Fix process and file descriptor leak that was exposed when
+     git-annex was built with ghc 8.2.1. Broke git-annex test on OSX
+     due to running out of FDs, and may have also leaked in other situations.
+   * info: Improve cleanup of stale transfer info files."""]]
