git-annex 6.20160419 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix bug that prevented resuming of uploads to encrypted special remotes
that used chunking.
* That bug could also expose the names of keys to such remotes when
attempting to resume an upload, so it is a minor security issue.
* Fix duplicate progress meter display when downloading from a git remote
over http with -J.
* reinject: When src file's content cannot be verified, leave it alone,
instead of deleting it.
* reinject: Added new mode which can reinject known files into the annex.
For example: git-annex reinject --known /mnt/backup/*
* calckey: New plumbing command, calculates the key that would be used
to refer to a file.
* Fix bug that prevented annex.sshcaching=false configuration from taking
effect when on a crippled filesystem. Thanks, divergentdave.
* git 2.9.0 is going to prevent git merge from merging in unrelated
branches. Since the webapp's pairing etc features often combine
together repositories with unrelated histories, work around
this behavior change when the assistant merges, by passing
--allow-unrelated-histories. Note though that this is not done
for git annex sync's merges, so it will follow git's default or
configured behavior.
* When git-annex is used with a git version older than 2.2.0, disable
support for adjusted branches, since GIT\_COMMON\_DIR is needed to update
them and was first added in that version of git.
* Avoid setting LOCPATH in linux standalone builds that are built with
a ghc that has been fixed to not hang when it cannot find locale files.
* Isolate test suite from global git config settings."""]]

git-annex 6.20160619 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* get, drop: Add --batch and --json options.
* testremote: Fix crash when testing a freshly made external special remote.
* Remove unnecessary rpaths in the git-annex binary, but only when
it's built using make, not cabal.
This speeds up git-annex startup time by around 50%.
* Speed up startup time by caching the refs that have been merged into
the git-annex branch.
This can speed up git-annex commands by as much as a second,
depending on the number of remotes.
* fsck: Fix a reversion in direct mode fsck of a file that is
present when the location log thinks it is not. Reversion introduced
in version 5.20151208.
* uninit: Fix crash due to trying to write to deleted keys db.
Reversion introduced by v6 mode support, affects v5 too.
* Fix a similar crash when the webapp is used to delete a repository.
* Support checking presence of content at a http url that redirects to
a ftp url.
* log: Added --all option.
* New url for git-remote-gcrypt, now maintained by spwhitton.
* webapp: Don't allow deleting a remote that has syncing disabled,
as such a deletion will never finish.
Thanks, Farhan Kathawala.
* webapp: Escape unusual characters in ssh hostnames when generating
mangled hostnames. This allows IPv6 addresses to be used on filesystems
not supporting : in filenames.
* Avoid any access to keys database in v5 mode repositories, which
are not supposed to use that database.
* Remove the EKG build flag, since Gentoo for some reason decided to
enable this flag, depsite it not being intended for production use and
so disabled by default."""]]
