-git-annex 5.20151116 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Use concurrent-output library when configured with -fConcurrentOutput.
-     This allows nicely displayed messages when using the -J flag.
-   * Additional commands now support the -J flag:
-     fsck, drop, add, addurl, import
-   * import: Avoid very ugly error messages when the directory files
-     are imported to is not a directort, but perhaps an annexed file.
-   * Concurrent progress bars are now displayed when using -J with a command
-     that moves file contents around.
-   * Fix race that could result in an annexed file's symlink not being
-     created, when eg, running concurrent git-annex adds.
-   * add: Fix error recovery rollback to not move the injested file content
-     out of the annex back to the file, because other files may point to
-     that same content. Instead, copy the injected file content out to
-     recover.
-   * quvi may output utf-8 encoded data when the conifigured locale doesn't
-     support that; avoid crashing on such invalid encoding.
-   * runshell: Avoid failing when $HOME/.ssh does not exist and cannot be
-     created.
-   * Make the git-annex-standalone.deb prevent runshell from installing
-     wrappers into $HOME/.ssh
-   * Make git-annex-standalone.deb include the git-annex html documentation,
-     desktop file, and base completion file, same as the regular git-annex.deb.
-   * fsck: When fscking a dead repo, avoid incorrect "fixing location log"
-     message, and display a warning about it being dead, since it's unusual
-     to have access to a dead repo.
-   * assistant: Pass ssh-options through 3 more git pull/push calls
-     that were missed before.
-   * Added annex.pidlock and annex.pidlocktimeout configuration to support
-     filesystems where POSIX fcntl locks cannot be used.
-   * init: Automatically enable annex.pidlock when necessary."""]]

+git-annex 6.20160126 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * Fix nasty reversion in the last release that broke sync --content's
+     handling of many preferred content expressions.
+   * whereis --json: Urls are now listed inside the remote that claims them,
+     rather than all together at the end.
+   * info, add, whereis, find: Support --batch mode.
+   * Force output to be line-buffered, even when it's not connected to the
+     terminal. This is particuarly important for commands with --batch
+     output, which was not always being flushed at an appropriate time.
+   * add, import: Support --json output.
+   * addurl --json: Include field for added key (unless the file was
+     added directly to git due to annex.largefiles configuration.)
+     (Also done by add --json and import --json)
+   * registerurl: Check if a remote claims the url, same as addurl does.
+   * Bug fix: Git config settings passed to git-annex -c did not always take
+     effect.
+   * assistant: Use udisks2 dbus events to detect when disks are mounted,
+     instead of relying on gnome/kde stuff that is not stable.
+   * Fix build with QuickCheck 2.8.2
+   * matchexpression: New plumbing command to check if a preferred content
+     expression matches some data.
+   * Removed the webapp-secure build flag, rolling it into the webapp build
+     flag.
+   * Removed the quvi, tahoe, feed, and tfds build flags, adding
+     aeson feed and regex-tdfa to the core dependencies.
+   * Roll the dns build flag into the assistant build flag.
+   * Debian: Avoid building debug package, since gdb is not often useful
+     to debug haskell programs."""]]
