-git-annex 6.20160114 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-"hexapodia as the key insight"
-
-* Added v6 repository mode, but v5 is still the default for now.
-* unlock, lock: In v6 mode, unlocking a file changes it from a symlink to a
-  pointer file, and this change can be committed to the git repository.
-  For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/unlocked\_files/
-* The upgrade to version 6 is not done fully automatically yet, because
-  upgrading a direct mode repository to version 6 will prevent old
-  versions of git-annex from working in other clones of that repository.
-  For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/
-* init: --version parameter added to control which supported repository
-  version to use.
-* init, upgrade: Configure .git/info/attributes to use git-annex
-  as a smudge filter. In v6 repository mode, this makes git add
-  add files to the annex in unlocked mode, unless overridden by
-  annex.largefiles configuration.
-* assistant: In v6 mode, adds files in unlocked mode, so they can
-  continue to be modified.
-* Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories
-  be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk
-  space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local
-  (and possibly only) copy of the old version.
-* Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since
-  direct mode made the same tradeoff.
-* fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
-* persistent-sqlite is now a hard build dependency, since v6 repository
-  mode needs it.
-* status: On crippled filesystems, was displaying M for all annexed files
-  that were present. Probably caused by a change to what git status
-  displays in this situation. Fixed by treating files git thinks are
-  modified the same as typechanged files.
-* addurl: Added --batch and --with-files options.
-* addurl: Support --json, particularly useful in --batch mode.
-* addurl: Refuse to overwrite any existing, non-annexed file.
-* Debian: Adjust build dependencies for webapp, DAV. Now available on
-  mips, mipsel, but temporarily removed armel since build is failing
-  there.
-* info: Fix "backend usage" numbers, which were counting present keys
-  twice.
-* info --json: Improve json for "backend usage", using a nested object
-  with fields for each backend instead of the previous weird nested lists.
-  This may break existing parsers of this json output, if there were any.
-* whereis --json: Make url list be included in machine-parseable form.
-* test: Added --keep-failures option.
-* unused: Bug fix when a new file was added to the annex, and then
-  removed (but not git rmed). git still has the add staged in this case,
-  so the content should not be unused and was wrongly treated as such.
-* migrate: Copy over metadata to new key.
-* rekey: No longer copies over urls from the old to the new key.
-  It makes sense for migrate to do that, but not for this low-level
-  (and little used) plumbing command to.
-* view: Fix crash in non-unicode capable locale when entering a view
-  of metadata containing a slash or backslash.
-* When annex.http-headers is used to set the User-Agent header, avoid
-  sending User-Agent: git-annex
-* Windows: Fix rsync cross-drive hack to work with msys2 rsync.
-  Thanks, Pieter Kitslaar."""]]
