-git-annex 6.20180227 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * inprogress: Avoid showing failures for files not in progress.
-   * Added INFO to external special remote protocol.
-   * Added EXTENSIONS to external special remote protocol.
-   * datalad < 0.9.1 had a problem in its special remote protocol handling
-     which is broken by EXTENSIONS. Make the debian git-annex package
-     conflict with the problem version of datalad.
-   * fsck: Warn when required content is not present in the repository that
-     requires it.
-   * Add gpg-agent to Build-Depends.
-     Needed to run the test suite.
-   * --json: When there are multiple lines of notes about a file, make the note
-     field multiline, rather than the old behavior of only including the
-     last line.
-   * git-annex.cabal: Once more try to not build the assistant on the hurd,
-     hopefully hackage finally recognises that OS.
-   * Split Test.hs and avoid optimising it much, to need less memory to
-     compile.
-   * Fix behavior of --json-progress followed by --json, the latter option
-     used to disable the former.
-   * Added --json-error-messages option, which makes messages
-     that would normally be output to standard error be included in
-     the json output.
-   * Remove temporary code added in 6.20160619 to prime the mergedrefs
-     log.
-   * importfeed: Fix a failure when downloading with youtube-dl
-     and the destination subdirectory does not exist yet.
-   * Added annex.merge-annex-branches config setting which
-     can be used to disable automatic merge of git-annex branches.
-   * tips/automatically\_adding\_metadata/pre-commit-annex: Fix to not
-     silently skip filenames containing non-ascii characters.
-   * sync: Fix bug that prevented pulling changes into direct mode
-     repositories that were committed to remotes using git commit
-     rather than git-annex sync.
-   * Makefile: Remove chrpath workaround for bug in cabal,
-     which is no longer needed."""]]

+git-annex 6.20180509 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * The old git-annex Android app is now deprecated in favor of running
+     git-annex in termux.
+   * runshell: Use proot when running on Android, to work around
+     Android 8's ill-advised seccomp filtering of system calls,
+     including ones crucial for reliable thread locking.
+     (This will only work with termux's version of proot.)
+   * Fix bug in last release that crashes when using
+     --all or running git-annex in a bare repository. May have also
+     affected git-annex unused and git-annex info.
+   * Fix bug in last release that prevented the webapp opening on
+     non-Linux systems.
+   * Support building with hinotify-0.3.10.
+   * Display error message when http download fails.
+   * Avoid forward retry when 0 bytes were received."""]]
