git-annex 8.20200522 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix bug that made enableremote of S3 and webdav remotes, that
have embedcreds=yes, fail to set up the embedded creds, so accessing
the remotes failed. (Regression introduced in version 7.20200202.7)
* addurl, importfeed: Avoid adding filenames with leading '.', instead
it will be replaced with '\_'.
* addurl, importfeed: Allow '-' in filenames, as long as it's not the
first character.
* addurl --preserve-filename: New option, uses server-provided filename
without any sanitization, but will fail if the filename has an obvious
security problem like using an escape sequence or trying to escape
the current directory.
* whereis: Added --format option.
* S3: Support signature=v4, to use S3 Signature Version 4.
Some S3 services seem to require v4, while others may only
support v2, which remains the default.
* upgrade: When upgrade fails due to an exception, display it.
* repair: Improve fetching from a remote with an url in host:path format.
* git-lfs repos that encrypt the annexed content but not the git repo
only need --force passed to initremote, allow enableremote and
autoenable of such remotes without forcing again.
* When accessing a remote fails, always display a reason why.
* Display a warning message when a remote uses a protocol, such as
git://, that git-annex does not support. Silently skipping such a
remote was confusing behavior.
* Also display a warning message when a remote, without a known uuid,
is located in a directory that does not currently exist, to avoid
silently skipping such a remote.
* sync: Avoid an ugly error message when nothing has been committed to
master yet and there is a synced master branch to merge from.
* Display a warning message when asked to operate on a file inside a
directory that's a symbolic link to elsewhere.
* Support building with tasty-1.3."""]]
