-git-annex 6.20180316 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * New protocol for communicating with git-annex-shell increases speed
-     of operations involving ssh remotes. When not transferring large files,
-     git-annex is between 200% and 400% faster using the new protocol,
-     and it's just as fast as before when transferring large files.
-     (When the remote has an old git-annex-shell, git-annex falls back
-     to the old slower code. This fallback is planned to be removed
-     after 5 years or so.)
-   * Note that, due to not using rsync to transfer files over ssh
-     any longer, permissions and other file metadata of annexed files
-     will no longer be preserved when copying them to and from ssh remotes.
-     Other remotes never supported preserving that information, so
-     this is not considered a regression.
-   * Fix data loss bug in content locking over tor, when the remote
-     repository is in direct mode, it neglected to check that the content
-     was actually present when locking it. This could cause git annex drop
-     to remove the only copy of a file when it thought the tor remote had
-     a copy.
-   * Fix data loss bug when the local repository uses direct mode, and a
-     locally modified file is dropped from a remote repsitory. The bug
-     caused the modified file to be counted as a copy of the original file.
-     (This is not a severe bug because in such a situation, dropping
-     from the remote and then modifying the file is allowed and has the same
-     end result.)
-   * Some downloads will be verified, even when annex.verify=false.
-     This is done in some edge cases where there's a likelyhood than an
-     object was downloaded incorrectly.
-   * Support exporttree=yes for rsync special remotes.
-   * Added backends for the BLAKE2 family of hashes, when built with
-     a new enough version of cryptonite.
-   * Improve SHA*E extension extraction code to not treat parts of the
-     filename that contain punctuation or other non-alphanumeric characters
-     as extensions. Before, such characters were filtered out.
-   * Better ssh connection warmup when using -J for concurrency.
-     Avoids ugly messages when forced ssh command is not git-annex-shell.
-   * Fix race condition in ssh warmup that caused git-annex to get
-     stuck and never process some files when run with high levels of
-     concurrency.
-   * Fix reversion introduced in 6.20171214 that caused concurrent
-     transfers to incorrectly fail with "transfer already in progress".
-   * Note that Remote/Git.hs now contains AGPL licensed code,
-     thus the license of git-annex as a whole is AGPL. This was already
-     the case when git-annex was built with the webapp enabled.
-   * Include amount of data transferred in progress display.
-   * Dial back optimisation when building on arm, which prevents
-     ghc and llc from running out of memory when optimising some files."""]]

+git-annex 6.20180719 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * Support working trees set up by git-worktree.
+   * Improve support for repositories created with --separate-git-dir.
+   * Support configuring remote.web.annex-cost and remote.bittorrent.annex-cost
+   * addurl: When security configuration prevents downloads with youtube-dl,
+     still check if the url is one that it supports, and fail downloading
+     it, instead of downloading the raw web page.
+   * Send User-Agent and any configured annex.http-headers when downloading
+     with http, fixes reversion introduced when switching to http-client.
+   * Fix reversion introduced in version 6.20180316 that caused git-annex to
+     stop processing files when unable to contact a ssh remote.
+   * v6: Work around git bug that runs smudge/clean filters at the top of the
+     repository while passing them a relative GIT\_WORK\_TREE that may point
+     outside of the repository, by using GIT\_PREFIX to get back to the
+     subdirectory where a relative GIT\_WORK\_TREE is valid.
+   * p2p --pair: Fix interception of the magic-wormhole pairing code,
+     which since 0.8.2 it has sent to stderr rather than stdout.
+   * info: Display uuid and description when a repository is identified by
+     uuid, and for "here".
+   * unused --from: Allow specifiying a repository by uuid or description.
+   * linux standalone: Generate locale files in ~/.cache/git-annex/locales/
+     so they're available even when the standalone tarball is installed
+     in a directory owned by root. Note that this prevents using the
+     standalone bundle in environments where HOME is not writable.
+   * Include uname command in standalone builds since git-annex uses it.
+   * git-annex.cabal: Fix network version."""]]
