git-annex 6.20160808 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* metadata --json output format has changed, adding a inner json object
named "fields" which contains only the fields and their values.
This should be easier to parse than the old format, which mixed up
metadata fields with other keys in the json object.
Any consumers of the old format will need to be updated.
* Added metadata --batch option, which allows getting, setting, deleting,
and modifying metadata for multiple files/keys.
* Added --branch option to copy, drop, fsck, get, metadata, mirror, move,
and whereis commands. This option makes git-annex operate on files that
are included in a specified branch (or other treeish).
* git-annex.cabal: Temporarily limit to http-conduit <2.2.0
since aws 0.14.0 is not compatible with the newer version.
* git-annex.cabal: Temporarily limit to persistent <2.5
since esqueleto 2.4.3 is not compatible with the newer version.
* Removed dependency on json library; all JSON is now handled by aeson.
* When built with uuid-1.3.12, generate more random UUIDs than before.
(However, this did not impact git-annex much, so a hard depedency has
not been added on uuid-1.3.12.)
* info: When run on a file now includes an indication of whether
the content is present locally.
* get, move, copy, mirror: Added --failed switch which retries
failed copies/moves.
* Re-enable accumulating transfer failure log files for command-line
actions (disabled in 5.20150522), and remove the log files after
successful transfers."""]]

* lock, smudge: Fix edge cases where data loss could occur in v6 mode
when the keys database was not populated.
* upgrade: Handle upgrade to v6 when the repository already contains
v6 unlocked files whose content is already present.
* Improve style of offline html build of website.
* importfeed: Drop URL parameters from file extension.
Thanks, James MacMahon.
* Assistant, repair: Improved filtering out of git fsck lines about
duplicate file entries in tree objects.
* test: Deal with gpg-agent behavior change that broke the test suite.
* Improve ssh socket cleanup code to skip over the cruft that
NFS sometimes puts in a directory when a file is being deleted.
* If a transfer fails for some reason, but some data managed to be sent,
the transfer will be retried. (The assistant already did this.)
* Run ssh with ServerAliveInterval 60, so that stalled transfers will
be noticed within about 3 minutes.
(Any setting in your ~/.ssh/config or /etc/ssh/ssh\_config
overrides this.)"""]]
