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."""]]

git-annex 6.20161012 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Optimisations to time it takes git-annex to walk working tree and find
files to work on. Sped up by around 18%.
* Optimisations to git-annex branch query and setting, avoiding repeated
copies of the environment. Speeds up commands like
"git-annex find --in remote" by over 50%.
* Optimised git-annex branch log file timestamp parsing.
* Add "total-size" field to --json-progress output.
* Make --json-progress output be shown even when the size of a object
is not known.
* Multiple external special remote processes for the same remote will be
started as needed when using -J. This should not beak any existing
external special remotes, because running multiple git-annex commands
at the same time could already start multiple processes for the same
external special remotes.
* Linux standalone: Include locale files in the bundle, and generate
locale definition files for the locales in use when starting runshell.
(Currently only done for utf-8 locales.)
* Avoid using a lot of memory when large objects are present in the git
repository and have to be checked to see if they are a pointed to an
annexed file. Cases where such memory use could occur included, but
were not limited to:
- git commit -a of a large unlocked file (in v5 mode)
- git-annex adjust when a large file was checked into git directly
* When auto-upgrading a v3 remote, avoid upgrading to version 6,
instead keep it at version 5.
* Support using v3 repositories without upgrading them to v5.
* sync: Fix bug in adjusted branch merging that could cause recently
added files to be lost when updating the adjusted branch."""]]
