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."""]]

* 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."""]]
