-git-annex 6.20171026 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Windows: Fix reversion that caused the path used to link
-     to annexed content to include the drive letter and full path, rather
-     than being relative. (`git annex fix` will fix up after this problem).
-   * Windows build fixed, and changed to use stack for more reliable build
-     environment.
-   * Windows: Remove wget from bundle; it needs libraries that are not
-     included, and git for windows includes curl which git-annex will use
-     instead.
-   * Add day to metadata when annex.genmetadata is enabled.
-     Thanks, Sean T Parsons
-   * stack.yaml: Added nix packages section.
-     Thanks, Sean T Parsons"""]]

+git-annex 6.20180112 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
+[[!toggleable text="""
+   * Added inprogress command for accessing files as they are being
+     downloaded.
+   * Fix bug introduced in version 6.20171018 that caused some commands
+     to print out "ok" twice after processing a file.
+   * addurl: When the file youtube-dl will download is already an annexed
+     file, don't download it again and fail to overwrite it, instead just do
+     nothing, like it used to when quvi was used.
+   * addurl: Fix encoding of filename queried from youtube-dl when in
+     --fast mode.
+   * Fix several places where files in .git/annex/ were written with modes
+     that did not take the core.sharedRepository config into account.
+   * Improve startup time for commands that do not operate on remotes,
+     and for tab completion, by not unnessessarily statting paths to
+     remotes, which used to cause eg, spin-up of removable drives.
+   * Added remote.<name>.annex-checkuuid config, which can be set to false
+     to disable the default checking of the uuid of remotes that point to
+     directories. This can be useful to avoid unncessary drive spin-ups and
+     automounting.
+   * git-annex.cabal: Add back custom-setup stanza, so cabal new-build works.
+   * git-annex.cabal: Removed the testsuite build flag; test suite is always
+     included."""]]
