-git-annex 6.20171003 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * 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."""]]

-   * add: Replace work tree file atomically on systems supporting hard
-     links. Avoids a window where interrupting an add could result in
-     the file being moved into the annex, with no symlink yet created.
-   * webdav: Avoid unncessisarily creating the collection at the top
-     of the repository when storing files there, since that collection
-     is created by initremote.
-     (This seems to work around some brokenness of the box.com webdav
-     server, which caused uploads to be very slow or sometimes fail.)
-   * webdav: Make --debug show all webdav operations.
-   * get -J/move -J/copy -J/mirror -J/sync -J: Avoid "transfer already in
-     progress" errors when two files use the same key.
-   * Konqueror desktop file location changed to one used by plasma 5.
-     Thanks, Félix Sipma.
-   * Avoid repeated checking that files passed on the command line exist.
-   * Fix build with aws-0.17.
-   * stack.yaml: Update to lts-9.9."""]]

+   * Use youtube-dl rather than quvi to download media from web pages,
+     since quvi is not being actively developed and youtube-dl supports
+     many more sites.
+   * addurl --relaxed got slower, since youtube-dl has to hit the network
+     to check for embedded media. If you relied on --relaxed not hitting the
+     network for speed reasons, using --relaxed --raw will get the old level
+     of speed, but can't be used for urls with embedded videos.
+   * importfeed now downloads things linked to by feeds, even when they are
+     not media files.
+   * Removed no longer needed dependency on yesod-default.
+   * Allow exporttree remotes to be marked as dead.
+   * initremote, enableremote: Really support gpg subkeys suffixed with an
+     exclamation mark, which forces gpg to use a specific subkey.
+     (Previous try had a bug.)
+   * lookupkey: Support being given an absolute filename to a file
+     within the current git repository.
+   * A top-level .noannex file will prevent git-annex init from being used
+     in a repository. This is useful for repositories that have a policy
+     reason not to use git-annex. The content of the file will be displayed
+     to the user who tries to run git-annex init."""]]
